lia2013 9 Posted August 26, 2013 I was in the January boat.. but since i'm selfpay no need to wait..lol I am self pay too, but my sister and I are starting our journey together - we will be sleeved by the same doctor on the same day, so January ended up being the soonest our schedules could match up. But that is OK, I will wait a few months if it means we are together. 1 Juciilyps:) reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atlchick 42 Posted August 26, 2013 Are you willing to share what doctor you chose and what date? I havnt chosen a doctor yet but I am leaning toward Dr. Garcia and leaning toward Oct 4th as the date. My son is out of school then and he doesn't have any soccer going on that weekend so its a lighter week for me. Just curious if you will be there then. Best wishes! Thanks!

cejiogu 182 Posted August 26, 2013 Hang in there girls and run do not walk towards your new life. Had mine done in us because I was lucky that my insurance covered it. But I am 3 months out 79 lbs down and do not regret it at all! Also I was questioning my choice up until they put the mask on me in the OR. It will be worth it! I promise you 159 million billion times. Hands up high five and keep up the good work. 1 Juciilyps:) reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenni77 60 Posted August 26, 2013 I just booked my flight as well! I'm really nervous to be flying on 9-11. My surgery is the 12th with Dr. Alvarez :-) I am super nervous and excited at the same time. I went Vitamin shopping yesterday for the first time in my life! Also I have to get some kind of Protein Shakes. I have Bariatric Advantage chocolate right now left over from some fad diet I tried at the beginning of the year. I have to start my pre-op on Wednesday and I'm scared to death I won't be able to do it. 1 Juciilyps:) reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
