I didn't realize that an appointment was needed, so I had to wait about a week and a half for that, but Susan assured me that as long as I have my receipt for my passport application, then I will be able to get back across the border. I leave one month from today to drive to Eagle Pass! :lol:

She may have to put a rush on it, but that is quite a bit more. I think they told me 99 bucks for a rush.I don't really remember the exact day I filed for mine, but it was in the latter part 3rd week of june. I received my passports the beginning of July. The issue date on the passports were the 26th, so it actually only took 2-3 weeks to get mine i suppose. But traditionally they tell you it can take 6-8 weeks. She may be fine and receive them in time.

You need an appointment? I just went to the post office in victoria texas and applied for mine right there. You must be going to the official office.

No, it's a post office in the Houston area, but they are so busy here for passports that an appointment is required, but he said I should have it in 30 days, which is just in the nick of time. Either way though, as long as I have my receipt I am good, according to Susan at Dr. A.'s office.

The other reason I waited so long was because after a long and unfruitful search for my birth certificate, I had to order a new one, so that took a couple of weeks as well. If I had know that I needed an appointment, I could have scheduled it when I ordered the birth certificate, and would have had more time, but alas...

Day 6 is done.....it was funny Susan from our Dr emailed me about my dizzy spells and told me to have some real sugar....My mind went into all the things I could drink that could give me sugar....and went for medium instead of my typical extra large Decaf instead of caf banana caramel latte but with half the Syrup so an instant shot......Brian my husband laughed at me...At this stage of the game I think I am too scared to cheat even when the Dr tells me too.....hahahahahahaha...I suppose that is good but it is amazing what we can do with our minds...Every day I have said over and over to myself if I cheat I will die on the table...I know it may sound severe but I am of the mind set where I cannot cheat...not even a little bit...

Our minds are amazing things....

I agree 100%. Here I am been stressing how I am going to make it through my 14 day liquid diet starting the 23rd, and all I can say is, "Yes I Can" I see icandothis and how well she is doing the 30 day and I believe if she can manage that and come out in one piece I can do my required diet as well. She gives me strength in my way of thinking,

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
