Awesome! I have to get cracking on that -- just got my date, which is August 5th. I have heard it takes about 6 weeks to get it back.

So I went and got my passport picture taken and filed my application! In my eyes that makes it official! Yay for moving in a positive direction!!!

I won't be able to get mine because even if I do everything online, I still have to go to the post office just to sign the documents in front of someone and they make you set up an appointment with them. Unfortunately their appointments are 3 week wait! Then another 3 to 5 weeks to receive the passport. That will be about 2 months away and I plan on going 1st week of June. I really hope I don't get held up when I leave Mexico. I do have my birth certificate and a couple of photo id's (drivers license work id etc.).

Also, call other post office locations...their appointment dates vary.. dramatically...some may get you in within a day or two..might mean driving a little farther but..worth it...

And to leave Mexico, you at least have to have PROOF that you have applied for the passport, so please go ahead and do that.

Call around every post office is different...another post office may get u in quick. And expediting gets it here rather quickly. And also our courthouse now does passport applications. Go to the passport website and find out where other locations are. They are cracking down on the passports now....

I've found a passport office that does walk ins. Will be going there next week. I called several post offices and they are all quoting 3 weeks or more before I can even get an appointment!

I got passports for two of my kids and my partner for the cruise we just went on. We applied the first week in March and the passports came in 2 weeks two days. And we did not order them expedited, which usually takes 2 weeks, not a couple of days.

One gal leaving with our group April 2 did not have a passport and it did not hold us up getting across the border.

I'm going through rushmypassport.com. I am finishing all the paperwork today and have to go get my photo taken. I was not aware that you could go, with only having PROOF of application. That's interesting.

      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.
