Hello All, I've mostly been lurking on this forum and another site similar to this one. I'm scheduled to have surgery on 6-30 in TJ Mexico and have a few questions: 1. What did your travel companion do while you were in recovery for the 2 days? 2. How easy will it be for my husband to get to and from San Diego/border during the days I'm in recovery? (My husband wants to do some site seeing in San Diego both days). 3. Will my cell phone work in TJ (AT&T) 4. Any advise/ideas for my husband (I'm worried that he will be bored to death as he is a busy body). Any advise would be GREATLY appreciated! Smiles~Melissa

Hi All, I've not yet officially scheduled my surgery date but I'm pretty sure it's going to be the 3rd week in June.... It's seems like every since I narrowed down my surgery date, I've pigging out. I think I've gained at least 5 pounds the last 3 weeks. Does everyone go thru this phase before surgery? I just can't stop thinking like "this will be the last time I can pig out like this and eat whatever I want, so WHATEVER". I know it's terrible, but I just can't help! Smiles~Melissa

Hello, I'm having surgery in June and was wondering if everyone has/had hair loss? I already have thin hair and just recently experience a ton of hair loss from an extreme diet I tried about 7-8 months ago. I'm more frightened of the chance of hair loss versus the actual surgery. Smiles~Mel

Hello I’m new and already have tons of questions J. Quick Bio……I’ve been overweight pretty much most of my life and have struggled with my weight since the age of 10. I’ve tried every diet known to mankind only to loose/gain, loose/gain annnnnnd loose/gain. Well…after many years of struggling….I FINALLY have health insurance that covers WLS (yeah). This is where my question comes in play… One of the pre-certification requirements of my insurance company (Aetna PPO) is a letter from a personal trainer that hired back in 2006, but unfortunately I’ve lost contact with the PT and have no way of finding him. I’ve googled him to death and can’t seem to find anything ...what should I do? I would hate for this one technicality to prevent me from having surgery…. Any suggestion or ideas would be greatly appreciated Smiles~Melissa 5’5”/HW 269 lbs/CW 240 lbs/GW 150 lbs
