  1. I was told by my coordinator that I absolutely had to have a passport or a passport card. You can look on the passport website and call the customer service number and ask.
  2. Its on youtube under mesaucedo 1
  3. I did alot of research with people that went to Mexico first of all and then I talked to people on here that have used the surgeons and the hospitals. I am pleased with my decision and at peace with it. I can afford it and I will be going back for plastic surgery next year hopefully is all goes according to plan.
  4. Mynewbegining2....Thank you so much! This is probably going to sound weird since I am having major surgery but I want to sight see while I am there. I have never been to Mexico or California. I want to go the beach and see the ocean in Mexico and shop if possible. My husband is going with me and I don't want him to be bored the whole time he is there lol. How nice is Tijuana?
  5. You had Dr. Garcia right? Who was your coordinator? What hotel? My coordinator is Linda and I am staying at the Marriott I believe.
  6. You should be able to follow them on your ipad if you add them on your computer. Some people have already added you like myself.
  7. When you open someone's profile over to the right of the page should be 3 buttons that let you add them as a friend or send them a message. To the left you can look at their profile and posts.
  8. I hope I am that way when I get sleeved. I am so scared I will be hungry all the time.
  9. Jhansen71 you can add anyone as your friend and watch their progress on this site. Just go to a person's profile and add them as friend.
  10. You make a profile on youtube and subscribe to them. When you are on their page at the top left side hit the subscribe button. You will get updates on their new videos. They are very helpful and gives you a personal experience you wouldn't normally get I think.
  11. I am glad your doing well. Cannot wait until your video so we can hear first hand about your experience getting sleeved and on Mexico.
  12. You are very welcome. I am happy for you that is great you don't have to travel. I am going to Mexico.
  13. The people I have seen that have went from the band to the sleeve had it all done in the same surgery.
  14. Here are the people I follow: mesaucedo 1 slimmfast MsMook1979 andkel30 vsgmom AmySDMOM They are all sleevers and all good.
  15. Its mesaucedo she has a video on youtube. There are several people that have great videos. Great info. Are you going to Mexico to be sleeved? I have sent another message with some of them.
  16. I cannot wait until your next video. Thanks for documenting your journey it helps the ones just starting theirs. Have you tried the gasx strips that desolve in your mouth? I heard some say those are good for the gas pains.
  17. I am not sure what your doctor would recommend but what about liquid nyquil or any childrens liquid medication?
  18. In house financing is probably hard to find. I am using Linda also. I paid a down payment and am bringing the balance with me. If you paid some down and saved up enough to have it then you should be fine. I understand wanting it soon. I think Dr. Garcia is a good choice in surgeons and economically. Ask Linda to give you all your options she should be able to help you.
  19. I would love to have the information also. I am going to end up going to Mexico for plastic surgery probably next year after all my weight is gone.
  20. Who is your coordinator? I am not using any financing, I am paying using my income taxes. Is there any other kind of financing you can use?
  21. You are young. Getting the surgery will help you enjoy being young healthy and fit. You will not regret it.
