  1. I had a breast reduction 15 years ago, and I signed a release for my tissue to be used for that purpose...so it's possible.

    I just bought these for after. http://www.lpsupplements.com/media/01/a20791913003fd3a4ade66_m.JPG. Hope it comes up where you can look. It has 50g of whey protein isolates, no sugar. Read about it. I know I'm jumping the gun, but I had the money now. May not have it when I need it. If I don't like it I'll choke it down! Lol.

    Bought The Tickets, Still No Suport

    Good luck! I don't have a lot of positive support either. It's scary for people who love us to support us going somewhere with such a bad reputation. Not to mention the people who don't have a clue how we, the larger population are treated or how we feel healthwise. My husband is against me 'butchering' my body, so it's hard for me to verbalize my own concerns with him. But I'm going too! Stay safe, and prayers.
  7. I'm not going until August...
  8. Got date set with Dr. Kelly in Mexico. August 23rd!!!!
  9. OMG!!! Got my date...august 23rd with Dr. Kelly!!
  10. I've been lurking on here a few days since I downloaded the app and I want this surgery soooo bad!!! Anyway, Dr. Ramos Kelly's site is showing a price decrease right now for vsg for $4500. I just applied for financing online. Prayers please I don't get denied. And if I do get the financing, that my husband won't blow a gasket that I 'made a bill'. He's a freak with finances. But I feel I am slowly dying. I need something to hope for!!! I'm ready for this!!!
  11. I have the same problem pretty much. I will be taking money out of my 401k as a 'financial hardship' for 'medical reasons' in order to get the surgery. If you take it out for financial hardship, you don't have to pay it back. I don't HAVE the money yet, but the worx to get it has started. I N hoping to go to Dr. Kelly in August! It can't come soon enough for me!!!
  12. I've HAD my passport since 2006. That was an act of congress to obtain. I dont live where I was born and didn't have a certified birth certificate. barely got the passport by the time I needed it!
  13. I don't even have anything scheduled yet and am super excited! Guess I'm crazy! Lol! I have my FAA approved liquids and makeup packed. My passport with my stuff. 3 loose maxi dresses. I cute maxi dress to wear on the way there. And just ordered a carrying luggage 2pc set from target website. Yeah...I'm excited!!!

    Louisiana Sleevers!

    I live right out of New Orleans on the Westbank. My insurance doesn't approve any wls so I will be going to Mexico in a few months. Comfortable with my decision and super excited! Can't wait!
  16. So I've been doing my research and have decided on Mexico. In order to get the funds I am basically having to beg my boss to amend the 401k plan to include financial hardship. He hasnt given me his decision yet ????. Anyway, I work for a small office where everyone knows each others business. I'm ok with people know what I'm doing. After all, my being fat isn't a secret. Anyway, the problem I am having is I work for oral surgeons who both think going to Mexico is crazy!!! AND I'm afraid he won't do the amendment because of this! What I do with my body isn't their decision! Grrrrrrr. So frustrated!
  17. I have my pcp to start. He will help me find the next one.
  18. Glad you didn't sugarcoat it JeanieG! Lol! I am becoming more and more confident of my decision! Thanks you guys! I love this app!!

  20. Thanks!! Just please let me know how things turn out for you. My sister is an rn and her only comment was drain vs no drain and for me to ask why he doesn't use one. I will be going alone and looking forward to the me quiet time! Lol. Looking like August. Again keep me posted!
  21. Can't wait to hear how y'all are doing! Mines looking like end of August because of work!
  22. Seriously thinking about Dr Kelly. You choose the doctor not the coordinator. Those of you who had Kelly, tell me what you think HONESTLY!
