I just had to tell all of you that i have a date.... for Oct1!!!!!! im so excited that the financing went through and that all of these dreams for a better life are coming into a reality!!!!! i love this community and thanks for the great info that is here!!!!! preop diet starting soon.... :biggrin0:

thanks guys... i just felt like shouting it out... lol... YAY!!!!!!!!!!

its so comforting to hear that after other people check up on her... they see what a qualified and great doctora (hehe) she is!!... it makes me feel good about my decision to have her as my doctor!! And im sure Hopin4slv is with me on that one!!

yeah! And its looking like i might be going the end of september like 30,31 or 1 oct lol... but i have to set the date in concrete first!! thanks... i thought it was fitting... i want it so bad i can taste it lol!!... not literally but u know what i mean... great thing is ... im 22 so i will have so much time to enjoy the rest of my life!!!

^^^^^ hey girl... I am in the exact same boat as you!!!... im looking for a end of september date and im new here too!!!... and CANADIAN!! <3 hope that you get your date soon.. and when i get mine i will let you know... Pompa is who im using too!!

i hope everything works out for you... i am self pay and so i dont know what its like to go through all of the insurance stuff but I hope that you get things worked out so that you can be sleeved!!! <3 best wishes!!

thanks so much.. my husband has a bmi of 21 so he doesnt understand my issues but is trying his best to support me in all of this... and thats all i can ask for!!

Hey everyone! So, I have made my decision to have the VSG procedure done... I have approximately 85-90lbs to lose... I have tried everything to lose weight.. sometimes i have lost some weight but of course as all of us have probably experienced, i have gained it all back and then some!!!:svengo:... Im done playing around and I want my forever solution!!!!... I will be self paying (credit line) and going to Mexico for my surgery.... if anyone would like to shoot me some advice or whatever that would be great!!

great news.. lets just hope that it has to do with your age!!!!! im looking forward to getting sleeved!!!.. im 22

AMAZING!!!! thanks for the encouragement by your success!!!!!

Those are the same prices that I got too... I am thinking that I will go at the end of Sept.. to beginning of OCt.!! .... I will probably go for the 10900 package because i just want to go there and not have to think about anything but getting the surgery done lol!!!

I am glad that I am only 22 and this will forever be a tool of mine that will feed a long and happy healthy life... I know how you feel though.. and I am hoping to get a date the end of Sept to beginning of Oct! and its all looking good.... I have spoken to my husband about all of this and after really mulling it over he realized that this will definitely benefit me in a positive way that i just couldnt do on my own... I have not told my parents or really anyone else in my family because i feel like i will have negetive reactions from them and i need to surround myself with positive vibes at this point!! .. for example... my mom has told me in the past that if i didnt lose weight.. that my husband would eventually cheat on me... and also that I will not go as far in life like this because i will be looked down upon by other people... in some way she thinks that this will motivate me to lose weight but it just makes me feel crappy and want to eat more because of it.. if you know what i mean.. so thats why im keeping that from her.. because she will probably think im copping out even though i know i have done everything to try to be that perfect whatever lol.... ANYWAY!!!.... Im excited just to be in a positive atmosphere with my husband and know that he is supporting me through all of this :biggrin2:

well thats good to hear that you are pretty close to thinking about her as well!!... :svengo: Im wondering wether or not going through a consultant company to get in touch with Dr Pompa will be benificial for me or not

I have a friend of my family's who used weight loss forever and went to Dr Pompa and that is how I found out about her and all of this.. such an enlightening experience thus far!!... If you dont mind me comparing.... her price was 9000$ incl flights and the whole package.. is that what you are also paying? this was the price given to her from the centre.

Well here in Canada there are not too many places that do the procedure and waiting lists for years!!!... I do not want to wait and I do not have 20,000 + to do it in the US.. so Mexico it is... and plus from all of my research thus far Dr Pompa is looking like my decision of choice however alot of people are choosing Aceves or Almanza(i think that he is the other big one) lol... How did you go about making your arrangements with Dr Aceves?

OH my !! im so glad to hear that you are all loving your sleeves from Dr Pompa and that your experiences have been positive... I just can not wait to get 'sleeved' so that i can start living the rest of my life.... Im sure you have all felt like this too at one point or another!

I will be going to Dr. Pompa as well!!... How long did it take you to get your date? I am in the beginning stages and I am so anxious to get it done!!!
