I know how you feel, I went on vacation two weeks ago to florida with the fiancés family, and it was embarrassing being scared if I was going to fit or not at the rides at Disney or Sea world, and being at the beach was just not fun at all. Every moment made me realize why this surgery was so detrimental, for my health and my lifestyle with my son and fiancé. I won't see the family again until 4 months post op and I am super excited for that moment let alone next summers family vacation.

Mine is 4 weeks from today in mexico... I know how you feel!!

Rock Hill!!! lol Theres someone else here from charleston, I will have surgery on 8/13. Good Luck with everything, keep me updated!!

yes we are all secretly jealous that you are having yours in July lol, Congrats and keep us posted, good luck!!

my prayers are with you!! You are doing awesome!!

aug 13!!! congrats!!! it is just right around the corner!

Tomorrows a new day c:

but since I don't have awesome insurance id like to know about mexico!!

So I was doing an exam on a patient that took about four hours, so we had a lot of time to talk, and she was ten years out and her insurance covered everything from surgery to plastics. She worked for an insurance company so knew the ins and outs, and for blue cross blue shield there is a statement that says(something along these lines) "If we approved you for one surgery and you have a problem or need for something else we will approve that" lol I am sure in better terms but pretty much they approved the bariatric surgery which caused the excessive skin, so they approved the plastics..... worked for her... wouldn't hurt to look into through your company, she said they told her no twice till she got a copy of there stuff(not sure what its called) and could point it out to them.

That is amazing!!!hows your recovery going??

yea I will be pushing it, but I do not have much choice unless I want to wait over a year, which for selfish reasons I do not want to wait, I will be sleeved on Aug 13(my sleeve sister aug 14) and we each have about 9 days after surgery till we start classes and clinicals, she is in school for nursing and I am in school for radiology. My thoughts are I am nervous but my faith in God is stronger and if something goes wrong then it would go wrong with or without the surgery.

I am praying I am blessed to have a recovery like yours, I don't really have a choice :/ but thank you for sharing!! I am glad everything is going great!!

oh yea look at that ticker up there less than two months!!! lol sorry just saw that!! yay!

me and my power bill are looking forward to this!!

That's what I am going to school for, in a ugi you'll have a cup of fizzies which is like pop rocks, a thick barium which is the worst part buy I don't think it taste too bad, then a thin barium which taste better, and each Dr is different some only need to see a little go through some want to see it all. Good luck to you!

Thank you, I believe I needed this too even though I've got a while till surgery, best wishes, and my prayers are with you as well

hairspray evenly when you blow dry? Ive had problems with my hair getting oily early throughout the day most of my life (when I was younger I mistaked a bottle of baby oil for shampoo and used it all because it was so pretty and silky lol and my hair has never been the same) so in high school I noticed when I used hairspray it wouldn't get a oily as fast, so now I spray and brush my hair while I dry it so then it's not sticky when you are done drying if that made any sense. good luck!

Soooo I have the symptoms of a hiatial hernia, and I have no gallbladder so I am worried about scar tissue. I have Dr. Almanza and was wondering from really anyone who had surgery in mexico, did they fix it and how much did it cost? and were there any problems with scar tissue? Thanks!
