My surgery is in 15 days! I'm so happy. How are you guys doing??

What is the process for this? Do they put you to sleep?

For me I notice no rub at about 180-190

I would love to work from home! Where do I sign up?

I'm pre-op and hear a lot off hair loss stories. Is there anyone that has not experienced hair loss or its just going to happen no matter what.

For sure! I'm in Vandenberg villiage. It would be nice to have a support buddy. When is your surgery?

SarahG I'm in Lompoc. Surgery 1/24 in TJ

Santa Barbara here. 1/24/13

I'm 1/24/13!!! In TJ with Dr Rod

So I am self-pay and I'm feeling really guilty for draining our savings account for me to have this surgery. My husband seems supportive and just wants me to be happy. But I just feel so selfish!!

Thank you guys... It's so true and I am so happy! I will just do what he wants and that's just be happy

Glad all went well. I'm using Dr Rod also in January in TJ. Please give an update on how you are feeling soon with eating and all. Sounds positive so far.

Good job! I'm getting sleeved in January and these before and after pics from everyone get me so pumped up and excited for my future.

SkinnyChica thanks for your post. It helps me so much getting this feedback. Ohwhataworld- I will for sure let you know how mine goes. Keep in touch also so I know how your progress is going.

Cool. That is where my surgery will be. Are you with dr rod?

Me too. I'm eating junk food now and my pants are getting tight :/ Time to slow down!

Mine is 1/24/13! I'm so excited. I'm really not that worried. I just wish I didnt have so long to wait.

Glad to hear it went well! I feel much better knowing that.

Glad to hear it went well. I feel much better hearing that.

Ohwhataworld- do you have an update for us? How did it go?

So I had my first incident with someone in the public disapproving of my upcoming surgery. I went to the health food store to get samples of Protein shakes and the lady said "yeah if you will be bariatric you need to find one you like because this will be your food for the rest of your life" Then she says "Your not that bad off. Are you sure about this? You could probably lose the natural way" Ugg... Never mind this lady but will I be on shakes the rest of my life? And she said I have to mix them with Water not milk for bariatric because it can't be too thick. That doesn't sound good at all.

I'm not discouraged. And I am self pay in MX so I don't think I will have as much info from the dr as some of you do. I guess she just made me feel bad about what I was doing. That's the last time I speak openly with strangers lol. Thanks for everyone's input! I am excited for my sleeve and I've been through a lot to try to lose (most of my life) so I this wont scare me off.

I'm using him. Mine is scheduled for 1/24 in TJ. If you got to the self pay/Mexico forum you will find more.

I'm sad to say I have been eating anything and everything. I've been in love with food for so long. It has supported me through it all...but it is time to break up. I just want to be friends lol.

It will happen! You may even get a date before mine lol. I've seen so many people get approved and then they are scheduled very quickly. And if you were denied for some reason (like me) take matters into your own hands (like me). lol We need to side track ourselves...
