Anyone in their younger 20s?
CreatingTaylor replied to losewithrae's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm 22 and I got sleeved on 1.15.2016 it's been kind of tough so far but I'm still very early in my journey and adjusting emotionally. Going into this a lot of people said that I was too young but I am happy I went through with it. They say these are the best years of life and I don't want to waste them. I also don't want to keep waiting while things get worse and worse. I wish you luck! And it's great that you'll have your family to lean on since they have experience with this. -
VSG In Tijuana, Mexico ANYONE?!
CreatingTaylor replied to Cherrycupcake21's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Just got back from having surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Carlos Altamirano on 1/15/16. It went wonderful and the staff was friendly and attentive. Tijuana was a lively city and I had a safe and wonderful trip. No regrets so far. -

Wow 80 pounds is a great accomplishment!! Don't sell yourself short. I'm only 6 days post op so far but I can only hope to have your kind of success after 6 months. -
Anyone getting sleeved in January?
CreatingTaylor replied to kris10or's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my surgery yesterday afternoon! Currently recovering in the hospital room. Right out of surgery I was in so much pain. Nauseous, tired, dry month, incisions felt awful. I cried and thought about why I put myself through this but in a few hours I was up and walking and I've been walking lots ever since. I feel wonderful and I can't wait to start seeing and feeling my results -
Aaaaand 12 days into my pre-op diet I have finally gotten the hang of this. Better late than never?

Feeling cold feet
CreatingTaylor replied to MrsSantiago's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The "losers bench" is a good thing!! It means you're officially on the other side of surgery and are going to start losing weight with the rest of the sleeved family. Surgery for me is 19 days away but it is all going by so quickly. My sister asked me the other day how I am so calm. I told her it's probably because it just hasn't hit me yet haha. I'm getting more nervous by the day but I'm trying to focus on other people's positive success stories. That helps a lot. -
17 days till i start the pre-op diet! Stocked up on vitamins and protein powder. This is becoming very real.

42 days until surgery, 27 days until i start my pre-op diet. Let the freaking out commence.

You look incredible! And I love that dress -
Mine will be $4,000 total. Half is coming from strict savings and half will be a loan from Avant.com. They have higher interest rates but are easy to use and dont charge fees or prepayment penalties.

Best Vitamins
CreatingTaylor replied to Gemini0621's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I purchased them for post-op but haven't used one yet since I still have regular multi-Vitamin pills. I've heard really great things though! I'll test one out soon. -
To Tell or Not To Tell?
CreatingTaylor replied to ellie123's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@avocadoPAK I am 21 as well. I have not told anyone besides my close family (although they aren't too fond of it) and my girlfriend (who is supportive and happy for me). Being younger is tough because a lot of people think I have not thought this through or that I should just keep trying to lose weight naturally but I have been overweight since childhood. I'm so excited to get my sleeve but I will definitely be keeping it to myself. -

Tomorrow's the big day!
CreatingTaylor replied to blueEyez22's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats, sending prayers up for you! Also, I'm not sure how to change the name on the mobile app. But online you can go to the top right corner and next to your current display name click the gear icon for more options. Then on the next page click the Display Name button on the left hand side and change it from there. I hope that helps! -
Medical Tourism Insurance -- Worth it?
CreatingTaylor posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hi all! I would just like to know if anyone here has purchased Medical Tourism Insurance before traveling to Mexico for a self-pay surgery. Did you end up needing it? Was it worth it? Would you purchase it again? Or if you didn't get it, why did you feel like it wasn't necessary? Hoping to get some input. Thanks -Taylor -
Hi all, I am new here and have a question! I've been lurking around a bit but can't seem to find an answer so I decided to suck it up and post my very first topic! I am looking into getting Gastric Sleeve surgery. I am leaning towards scheduling something in Mexico because my BMI is normally 32 or 33 and I have no major health issues that would qualify me for surgery in the US. I haven't tried yet to see if I would qualify for some reason so that might not be out of the question. For those of you who have gone to Mexico for your surgery, was that decision made because you did not qualify for surgery through your insurance in the US and you needed to self-pay? Or for other reasons?

My date is scheduled for January 15th 2016 and it feels like forever!! Is there anyone else who has a surgery date next year? How are you staying patient? I am getting so anxious and wishing I could move my date up!
