I'm being sleeved by Dr Garcia on April 23rd. Haven't rode a plane in 25 years. Nervous about fitting into the seat! Hopefully your plane ride is short!

What about a prepaid phone? Thought about trying to find one that would be cheaper than AT&T international roaming.

Everyone I've talked to says it takes 4-6 weeks but my friend applied for hers in December and got it in a couple weeks! Good luck. I apply for mine Monday. Already have my picture and had to wait on birth certificate.

Where did you stay the night before surgery? Was it extra to stay at the hotel in Tijuana or did you stay in San Diego?

Who did you use for Dr. Garcia? Which coordinator?

Ok Thanks! What information did they give you...like what hospitals, hotels, payment?

So who is coordinating for Dr. Kelly now? I've done a lot of research and am thinking about Dr. Kelly or Dr. Garcia. Having trouble finding information on Dr. Kelly. Any suggestions?
