trulyamazingtoo 127 Posted December 31, 2014 I am hoping to get sleeved in January. I haven't applied for my passport yet (I know... bad me)!!! I will do that Friday. Hopefully It won't take long to get it and maybe I can get the surgery in the 3 or 4th week. I am still undecided about the doctor I will choose but am going to Mexico. I will be going alone. My family thinks that I should just lose weight "naturally". My BMI is just at 35. I was gonna try my insurance but decided against it due to all the hoops you have to jump through for approval. I am nervous and excited at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shizwiz 197 Posted December 31, 2014 @@trulyamazingtoo Nice to meet you! I am kind of in the same boat- my insurance did not cover the surgery and I am ready to do this thing. I am going to MX in two weeks via A Lighter Me (Dr. Elias Ortiz). I am also going alone as I do not have anyone who is able to go with me. My family and friends are not too keen on me having the surgery. Oh well I am a little nervous, but pretty excited, too!! You can for sure request to expedite your passport. I did that and got mine in a few weeks. I live super far away from anything, so I am sure if you live in a city or suberb, you should be able to get it pretty quick. Good luck!

shizwiz 197 Posted January 1, 2015 All good! My package is $4600. That includes everything except for the airfare to get to San Diego.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laurenella82 625 Posted January 1, 2015 An expedited passport should take no more than 2 weeks if you're not in a remote location where mail takes forever. I'm in DC and got mine in about 6 business days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
