I am sitting in Hospital Alameter right now with a friend who just had surgery, I had it here six months ago. As long as you have proof that you have applied for passport, birth certificate, ID, and social security card you will be okay even if it doesn't get here in time.

I applied in early August and had mine in time for my 8/30/10 surgery. I did not expedite. The summer rush is over, so turnaround is more like 3 wks right now than 4-6 they quote.

I applied for mine yesterday, the guy at the post office scared shit out of my mom so she made me expedite ours! $200 more. We are leaving for Mexico on the 14th of October! Mom wouldn't trust that the receipt and the other documents would get us back in the country and my husband kept saying that if we got stuck he would leave our asses there! LOL, i said that is ok we have the money you keep the kids!

Oh well, as long as I have it now, I will be ok and mom has on less thing to worry about!

Yeah my aunt and mom both thought I should get my passport just incase something like 911 happened. I didn't want to be held up at the border. So I got mine it was 100 extra to expidite and it's here. A lot of ppl go w/o passport and just use their DL and other documentation.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
