Skinnyninny 8 Posted March 18, 2015 I'm so excited, I scheduled my date with Dr. Ortiz at ALM. I never thought this was ever going to happen. I've had it as a goal for a few years and was having trouble with my insurance company. Well, I'm skipping the insurance and paying out of my pocket. I have been reading the board for a few weeks and I know I'm making the right decision for me. Happy Journeys everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinnyninny 8 Posted March 18, 2015 Thank you Rocky. I am going to try cutting my portion sizes now, so when it all happens I won't be so out of sorts. My roommate had the surgery last year here in the States and is going to help guide me on portion size. I am a volume eater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Future skinny girl 19 Posted April 17, 2015 Congratulations! I am having my surgery through ALM as well! My big day is May 18th and I am excited and nervous at the same time! I've never flew anywhere before. This will be my first time on an airplane. Flying scares me more than anything lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinnyninny 8 Posted April 17, 2015 I just paid for it. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. It is coming up fast. I'm so excited. Natoshia78 congratulations! Is it a long flight? I always get an aisle seat, I am claustrophobic. I know I can't get out. I live in Southern California so I am driving to the border. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinnyninny 8 Posted April 19, 2015 I started my pre-op diet yesterday. It wasn't so bad. I am hungry though. I just need to find things to occupy my time and stop thinking about what I can't eat. Looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, that will help pas the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Future skinny girl 19 Posted April 19, 2015 I live in Arkansas so the flight will take 5hrs. I talked with my hubby about driving to San Diego because we might not be able to afford both airfares. If we drive it will take like 3 1/2 days. I might save money driving... Anyway good luck with your pre-op diet! I have already started making changes in my diet so that my pre-op diet won't be so bad. I am so happy for you Hun! Is your name Marchand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinnyninny 8 Posted April 19, 2015 My name is Nancy. Driving is a good alternative and gas is pretty cheap stil. I won't drive if you have the extra time. I go back to work the day after I get home. I sit at a desk and use my brain all day so they said as long as I don't lift anything I should be ok. Good luck on your adventure. Sending you love and light for your journey. Maybe ask spirit to make it a graceful and easy journey and see what happens. I gave been turning this whole process over and the doors have been opening.

Future skinny girl 19 Posted April 19, 2015 I asked if your name was Marchand because I have been communicating with a lady named Marchand who is also having her surgery May2 through ALM. I met her on the ALM FB group. Thank you for your prayers Nancy. I pray that your adventure is safe as well, and good luck on your new journey in life.
