I want to work and feel that my weight has squashed my hooes if a career. I have a ton of education and cant seem to get a job and when i did have been bullied ir re traumatized at work... i trust no one...so this us a huge step.... but im at that point of discouragement...never have been suicidal..but ill take my chances at a foreign hospital and drs and staff so that i can take back my life...enjoy baseball...skiing...hiking...travelling..oh hey since ill never be a 25 yr old fatish bride...how about a 43 yr od healthy and skinnish bride...I Deseve It!!

So excited for you. I just had my surgery with A Lighter Me in Tijuana MX. everything went well and smooth. And it sounds like you are doing this for all the right reasons. I just signed up for this site, I had my surgery on 3/15, but I'm still trying to understand the darn it.

How do you get followups when you have surgery out of the US? I have always wondered that.

So happy for you ladies..i hope you are doing well...I gear the first month is hell...as for follow ups...local doctors. Lol. There really is no follow up unless you want Tummy Tuck or other skin lift in a few yrs.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
