So weird... almost the same thing is my issue. I went today to get my passport and they said I need an "original" birth certificate not a copied one. I'm going with my ID, my copied birth certificate and a utility bill. What's your date... the 26th? Mine is the 25th.. I hope to see you there.

Have you done it recently?Like within the past year or two?

Awesome. I will try that wbsite

Thanks for the info. Is that just for flying to and from mexico or driving too?

I know exactly how you feel. I start preop diet Friday. I'm nervous. I'm always hungry and a Protein shake and some salad is like one meal for not a whole day. Good luck to you and ill pray for strength and will power for both of us

I won't have mine in time either. I asked alma at Ready4Achange if that would be ok and she said yes. She said as long as I have birth certificate, drivers license and confirmation that I applied for my passport then I wouldn't have any problems so I'm going without one. Good luck on whatever you decide

My husband, mom, dad and 3 sisters are the only ones I've told. I don't talk to anyone else enough for them to know. I think my in laws will ask a lot of questions but I'll just cross that bridge when I get there. Do what you feel is right for you. Some people like to tell the whole world and some people like to be discreat.

lmfao

lol they are total freaks. My husband really always says someting. I swear, he is the best. We didnt talk to his family for 6 months cos of something stupid they said to me. It was a misunderstanding but none the less he did take my side. Its kind of hard to explain them... my hubs and i have been together for 6 years and his family has just never liked me. They smoke and do drugs and I dont care but I dont want them to do it around my kids and they've always had a problem with that. For me, its just better to not sayanything because no matter what I do say, it back fires. And anytime my husband tells them they are wrong its just drawn out drama.

Im glad to know im not the only one with sucky in laws lol. If i had a sucky husband too id dip but he is incredible so ill deal with the lame family members just so I can have him cant have both i guess. My sister has awesome in laws but a sucky husband lol. Ill take the way i got it over how she has it hahahah

Lol... thanks!! My husband always sticks up for me but he is kind of burnt out cos they are always rude. It's worse because they are jut so ignorant. And I usually say what I think but it gets me in trouble because I have no sensor. Zero sugar when I talk and it always ends up in drama so I just dont want to tell them. But I dont really like lying. I guess im not going to tell them but if they comment on my small portions ill probably just be like oh yea I had surgery, I didnt tell you guys??? lol idk

I would just say you are having surgery and its personal but once you are comfortable with handing out details they will be at the top of your list. Short, sweet and honest.

Pnemonia hurts horribly and in places you wouldnt think it would hurt. I had it a few years ago. I'd get a chest xray for sure like lessofmeismore said. I hope you feel better soon

I havent had my sleeve yet (surgery in 20 days) but I've had 3 C-sections and bounced back super quick. Within 2 days it was like nothing ever happened. A lot of people have told me if i recovered quick with those then VSG should be a breeze. I'll let you know after my surgery if you still havent got yours )

Boy I didnt know I wrote sch a novel till I pushed send... sorry about that.

We actually just started talking to them again. We didn't talk to his family for 6 months because of a stupid miss understanding. It is really hard getting through to them. I'm a really blunt person and they don't like it at all. So I don't feel like they do it out of bluntness I just think it's because it's one thing they know will hurt me. I hate to say that they are out to hurt me but sometimes that's how it feels. My husband has tried talking to them several times and it just makes it worse. Excuse my mouth but its just a shitty situation. The only reason I do anything with them is because my kids adore them and my family is 2000 miles away :/ I don't want to lie to them but I also don't want them to laugh at me. Last time I went on a diet his dad said, "well if this one lasts maybe you'll actually fit in with our family" and then his mom and sister started giggling. I'm not really a very insecure person, I've kinda just always rocked what i had ya know but they are in my opinion just mean spirited and I just don't want them to ruin this for me. I'm so excited beyond belief. Like I don't think anyone is as thrilled to get cut open as I am and my family is kind of already being downers so thats why I'm on here so much. I'd rather surround myself around people that are excited for me and see the beauty in this surgery rather then the people that think its a cop out or a hoaks.

Ugh, I want birth control so bad but i don't have insurance. I'm 22 and have 3 kids. It is already so easy for the Hub's and I to get preggo and I hear its super easy after surgery. I love my kids but I really don't want anymore. So pull out method and condoms are gonna have to do for now. Bummer!

I'm not sleeved yet but I've kind of wondered the same thing. I really don't ever plan on telling my husband's family about it only because they have made me very insecure around them. All the women in his fam are at max a size 5 and all the men are tall and skinny (except my hubs is tall and stalky... dont know how that worked out). They have always made fun of big people around me and always make fun of me when I say I'm on a diet so I just don't want to be ridiculed for something I want so desperately. I know that it is sort of copping out but they are demons I dont want to face. My mother and father in law come visit every other weekend and take us to eat EVERYTIME! I'm like the worst liar ever. I mean there is no hope for me to lie unless I rehearse 100 times. So the first time we go I plan to say I'm not feeling good. The second time ill just say i ate before i came, the third time ill say im on a strict diet and hopefully by then they wont ask anymore but boy do i feel ugly even having to think up lies. I just really dont want to be the family joke anymore.

Omg, exactly how I feel. My surgery is Feb 25th but the past couple weeks I just feel disgusting. I've always been very into fashion, hair and makeup and I've always been determined to dress fasionably despite my size but lately i don't even want to get ready, I just feel so gross. I feel like nothing fits and nothing looks good. I feel like my face looks fat. I don't want to see anyone I know until after surgery but I still weigh the same I did when I first decided to get the surgery which was in November. I think it is my subcontious mind preparing me so I won't back out. I hope you start to feel better love! Your date is close too

Mine is Feb 25th too ))

Feb 25th... Dr. Garcia in Mexico. WOOOOOO BUDDDDDDDY! I'm so excited and nervous as hell!!!! Good luck to everyone and God Bless

Get rid of that scale girl! Only check once a week and keep body measurements. 20 pounds in a month... you go girl!!!

I love that this post is so informative and I hope your recovery is going well. I do have one question, you will probably laugh at me but.... what kind of vehicle did the driver pick you up in? I read about some lady that got picked up in a15 year old car with broken windshield. M dad is coming with me and I can just totally see him freaking out if that's the case. lol

I want a treadmill bad! I had a gym membership but I quit going cos I have 3 little kids and it was a pain havig to pack them up and take them all with me. The gym had someone to watch them but it was just a hassle. By the time I got there I felt like i already did a work out. I want a treadmill so I can just run while te kids nap or watch cartoons.

If my husband doesnt do all this for me he is toast I'm glad you are doing so well and have such wonderful support (:
