My surgery is Jan 28th and I just realized I do not have a passport? Anybody else have or had this problem?

I did a lot of research and ended up going with Dr Altamirano. He does cost more than the others but so worth it! I can't wait for my surgery Thursday!

My surgery is on Thursday as well! I'm getting so excited!

Everything is becoming REAL, my official surgery is Jan 28! Yay The surgeon is Dr Altamirano. Would love to hear if you will be there around the same dates.

Do you lose weight because of the surgery? Like did you notice anything different the day of the surgery and the day after? I guess I'm trying to prepare myself for questions that may be asked at work if there is significant change.

Hi everyone, I literally just turned 40 2 days ago and I have 5 kids. I am a 5'3 frame weighing 210. Those friends that I have confided to about sleeve, think I'm crazy and going thru a mid life crisis. They don't seem to understand that I am only getting older and my metabolism doesn't run like it used to and that I just want to do this for myself. They think I'm crazy to go to Mexico and get surgery. Is it crazy for me to want this when I don't have a huge issue to start out with?

That is awesome, which dr did you go with and have you started pre op diet yet?

That absolutely makes me feel better, I think it's the whole stigma to tiajuana. Like we are gonna get shot by drug cartels or something....

Absolutely! I can't wait! When did you sleeve? Was it hard to not eat?

My sleeve is also with Dr A on Jan 27, your comment put me at ease. Thank you

Which dr did you go with?

Mine is Jan 27th with Dr A in Mexico

Thank you everyone! I agree with EVERYTHING! I am so pumped to get this surgery. When you have kids it's so easy to forget about yourself and I am just super excited to put myself first. I know this surgery isn't going to solve all problems but it will def give me that huge push to keep me in the right direction! I am so pumped!

I too plan on going to Mexico, me sleeve surgery is Jan 27th. I have decided to go with Dr Altamirano and I am super excited. I love him! No I seriously love him. I will marry him when I go to Mexico, I already told him on our FaceTime chat.
