  1. Hi Ladies and Gents... I know it's been a while but I was sleeved October 18th and I doing extremely well.. Last week I had some issues with light headedness and dizzy spells but other than that I'm doing fine.. I'm sick of protein shakes but I know I have to get it in and eating my protein would be great but I don't get it in like it should through food alone.. Thank you for your support and encouragement!! The staff at OCC were great I don't remember meeting Dr. Ortiz but the Dr. That came in to greet me and talk with me was exceptional and very kind and compassionate! I'm sure Dr. O and I said hi right before I passed out..
  2. I've had both good and not so good days on this pre-op diet.. I haven't weighed myself again but I know I've lost some weight not sure how much.. Just praying it's at least the 12 I needed to lose.. I don't want to be turned around.. I'm coming a long long way.. 😐😐😐 surgery date Oct 18th..
  3. Pre-Op Diet.. Nervous...

  4. I'm nervous about the Pre-op diet.. Surgery date Oct 18th.. I pray I do well and rid myself of 15lbs or more in two weeks Pre-surgery
  5. Just Happy Happy Happy!

  6. I'm looking forward to coming of some "Meds" as well... Super Excited!! Thank you do much! I will be there October 17-21.. So just keep me in your prayers you guys... So happy I'm not "Still Thinking About It" I've made the moves to do it... Now I have to complete this paper work..
  7. Thanks for the info! And because of all of you guys support and responses I have book my surgery and made my deposit! I'm scheduled for October 18th... Super EXCITED...
  8. Thanks for sharing this.. I'm goign to follow to see what responses you get. I'm planning to have the sleeve done next month and I've read about others having the same issues with not being able to keep food/water down...
  9. Thanks Apey223... I was considering the Band at 1ST but then was told to not do it.. becuse of the "Fills" So I decided on the Sleeve.. I've applied for my passport and I think I will be there at the end of October maybe the 1st Friday in November... I super excited.. Haven't schduled yet but I've been communicating with staff... And again thanks for all the support and advice!
  10. Thanks Ckesty. I have been told I will need to pay a 500.00 deposit from my Bariatric dr for him to see me when I come back and my Family Dr.. Well she doesn't have a problem with meeting my follow up needs! It's sad that the insurance company can exclude what they want and leave you hanging... And I have "Good Insurance" Ha... I'm waiting for my passport and then I will start booking my trip... Again thanks!
  11. Thanks soooo much! I'm sure I will have more questions and I will be asking.. How long did it take for your passport to come back?
  12. Well I plan to purchase my passport first and wait until it returns.. I believe the process time is around 4-6 weeks. After that I plan to schedule the surgery.. I've been so nervous about the trip/procedure that I forgot all about the need for a passport.. I was also looking into another hospital/clinic in TJ but I think this is going to work best for me.. I don't count that research wasted.. Just think OCC maybe a better choice at this time! So maybe mid- October or prayerfully before...
  13. Reading this had really helped me.. Thanks you all.. I'm still deciding but gaining the confidence needed as I go.. Again Thanks!
  14. Hi... I have a very similar situation.. I'm new to the blogs and forum.. And I too have been considering this trip for some time now.. I'm not sure when but I pray it some time soon or before January.. I plan to apply for my passport soon.. Step1.. Please stay in touch..MsMo
  15. Hi you guys... I've been considering the Sleeve all summer now. I researched it for over a year and I've saved even longer to pay for it here in the US, but the cost is overwhelming.. And it seems like it's taking me forever to get there.. So I'm really considering TJ.. Nervous Yes.. Do I want to? Yes but I'm simply overwhelmed with all the negative information out there.. Ughhh somebody help.. Next step is getting my passport.. I pray I'm going on the right direction..
