thanks ladies!!! I am thinking of changing to something else as well. The only reason I havent changed yet was because of the kids. I love the one stop shopping with them. But after this fiasco that I have gone through with them, I will just put up with going here and there with them. I wish the fed government had a mid year open enrollment lol because I would change now if I could

good luck on your journey!!!!

I know you have to be excited!!! Please keep us updated!!!

I will arrive on the 21st as well!! Which doctor are you ladies using there?

Swanson makes broth packs where you can just add water!!! You can get hot Water at plenty of places once you pass thru security and on the plane!!! HTH

I wish I had a sit down job. I am a mail carrier so I am walking, pushing, pulling, standing, and lifting all day long. So I do not plan to go back to work for 6-8 weeks!!!! I am going to enjoy the time off and go back a few pounds lighter!!!! HEEYYYY!! But my mother had the gastric bypass and although she sits all day long at home (she is retired) she still finds that she is weak and tires out really quickly. She is four weeks post op. I really don't think that it is realistic but I would just say just go with what your body is telling you

That is wonderful!!! I can't wait to pull out my fits that are in my closet collecting dust!!!

thanks ladies!!! I am going to do my best to get my mind off of this and not pig out. Its easy though because my mother is staying with us and she just had the gastric bypass and seeing her eat like a spoonful and get full is crazy to me. But she has been helping me stay on path. She did also say that her taste buds have completely changed.

well I know I do plan to have a last supper meal but I dont think I will go too crazy before my surgery!!!!

Congrats you look great!!!

I can only hope that my primary is as supportive and receptive to the idea of me self paying for the surgery and going to mexico. Something tells me though that I won't be as blessed as you are in that department!!!

Good luck and thanks for sharing your motivating factors for getting through the 2 week liquid diet. I am definitely taking notes because I know that it will be the hardest thing that I have to do! I look forward to reading about your experience!!!

I am 5'2 and will be having my surgery on 05/21. Once you guys got your date for surgery, was it hard for you to stop thinking about it 24/7???? Also, did you pig out before you had to start the 2 week liquid diet (if you had to do that)? I have to start my diet on the 9th of May and my SO says well lets just pig out for the next month...ummmm of course he weights a buck O 5 wet....so he can do that... the idea sounds tempting but I just dont feel right about it...

Thanks for updating!!! Glad everything is going smoothly and I am confident it will remain that way!!!! Can't wait to read more!!1

Good luck!!!!

I am sorry that your PCP is not supportive of your decision. I hope that if you choose to find another one, you have better luck. When I went to Mexico to get my tubal reversal in 2006 I waiting until after I got back to tell my primary and ob/gyn and they didnt seem to bothered about it. But that was 6 years ago and I have a new primary (through Kaiser) and I fear the same result as you. Good luck and just know that you are making the right decision for you!!! Kisha
