My new BFF! The toaster oven!
coexist23 replied to JP69's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I might have to get me one. Never thought about it. -
Yes, you can get one from Walgreens or CVS for $10.

Mine cost $55 from the County clerk office. You can also go to the Post office. First thing is you need a passport photo. You can go to any Walgreens or CVS and get one taken for $10. (no smile) You take the photo, driver's license, and original birth cert. Mine said 4-6 weeks, it took 3 weeks. FYI - Since 9/11 you have to send in your birth cert. (no copies). They mail it back.

I was on 6 Mt. dews a day. As soon as I decided to get the surgery, I quit cold turkey. It was easy, except for dry mouth.

Welcome, Welcome. Sounds like you are off to a GREAT start. When I get my sleeve, I hope to do as well. -

This tattoo is about self image. I hate the way I looked for so long. One day I just said screw it! I love myself no matter what I look like and no matter what people say. -
My husband is a auto hauling trucker for PMTG. He is only home about 6 days a month. He and I are both overweight. Eating on the road, with very little exercise is his problem. Being a mostly-single mom, my issue is eating while bored and being lonely. Trucking is a hard life for sure. Good luck with your surgery and your journey.

This was a boring day, so why not shave my head to prepare for my hair to fall out after surgery. -

It's called "Team Illan".

Yay for the Illan club. Me too for the 7th, but due to the silly IRS, may be moving it back.

Is Dr. Aceves the only one who oversews?
coexist23 replied to brittu's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Dr. Illan oversews. -
My hair is thin anyway. I know it will get thinner and I have alway wanted to shave my head. Crazy, I know. A month ago I just said screw it. I shaved it! Now I have no maintance, it is so easy. I bought several different wigs. Now I get to rock a different color, length and style everyday. Even my husband loves my bald head!
