Are you having yours done in Mexico? I’m having mine with Dr. Illan.

No, I'm not. I didn't even research surgery in Mexico until I had finished my requirements and had a date scheduled.

Having mine done in Allentown,Pa. My insurance doesn’t pay a dime. I’m using every cent of my savings on this. Ugh!!!!

I had to pay mine out of pocket too. My insurance doesn’t cover anything to do with weight loss


“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

I need to say that to myself more often. My last weigh in is next week. Then I begin the liquid diet. I’m a huge Diet Coke drinker. Today was my first day with out any soda. I thought it would be best to get off it now. Needless to say I was so miserable all day. No energy etc. I’m dreading the liquid diet and I pray I can get through it.

I was addicted to sparkling Water. As soon as I decided to get the surgery I quit cold turkey. It was hard at first but I’m doing okay. You will too. Take it one day at a time. I have eleven days until my surgery.

yea, I've been saving for a couple of years to pay for my surgery. it hurts to wipe out my bank account like that, but I know it'll be worth it.

It does indeed hurt to wipe out the bank account. Lol. It will indeed be worth it.

I’m glad to hear someone else went thru the struggle and survived. Are you on the liquid diet now?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
