  1. Does anyone know if there is a sleeve surgeon across the border of TX that is around 5-6k? Dr Rodriguez does, and he and Aceves were recommended to me by Susan, who works with dr Alvarez. Confused yet? Dr. Rod is 7,500 though. *banghead* I really should probably just pick one and go, really. I probably don't have a choice but to deal with layovers.
  2. Oh I'm not Comitted to alma. Lol. Can you renind me who your coordinator is, and do you have contact info for her? I don't know that there are any straight flight options for me. I'm in MO and I have to fly to Dallas, I believe it was, and then San Diego. Do correct me if I'm wrong!! Maybe a Monterrey or Mexicali dr are more suitable for me. I'd much prefer a straight flight. I can't have surgery until we get taxes. We're broke now. Lol
  3. Gah! Here's also any surgeons that work out of Mexicali or Monterrey, That would mean a much shorter flight for me straight from Missouri to Dallas I assume, Instead of Kansas City to Dallas to San Diego. That would make me feel awesome, since this is my first time flying. Im a mess. Im getting disgruntled trying to choose. I wish I was like those awesome people who can make a decision and stick to it.
  4. Decisions! I feel that either surgeon is perfectly skilled and wonderful but now I'm down I these 2. I think. Lol I like the idea of puerto Vallarta though. If I go there, how do you get across the border? Do you fly or does the driver drive you that entire way? Seems like a very long trip. Also, What hospital and hotel are in Puerto Vallarta?
  5. Alma@Ready4Achange She has an after hours email as well, but I didn't save it.
  6. Is that the norm? It seems steep. "/ I'm jot trying to sound negative, I'm actually cleared for surgery w Garcia, but for some reason, I'm second guessing my choice. Gah!! I can't even pick out socks!!!!
  7. Does anyone know how many surgeries Dr. Garcia does in a day?
  8. Thank you!! It was a beautiful day when you went!!! That place where the tires are, is that the "view" from the Marriott? That's a little disappointing.
  9. Thanks, I'll search her.
  10. Yes. Yes it does!! Sweet tea, I think I remember some videos of the Marriott and the hospital on YouTube. I plan on looking after the kids go to bed.
  11. Thank you Lilly!! That's exactly what I plan to do, Marriott with Garcia. I'd love to see more!!!! Ps, your legs already looked skinny.
  12. I'd love to see photos of your trip to Mexico! Did anyone take any?
  13. Me? No? I was saying that 20 lbs in 5 weeks is fantastic!! Weightloss surgery is awesome!!
  14. I am a bible believing Christian. I'm also constantly praying that I'm making the right decision. I believe I am because this is my chance to finally LIVE my life. To be the mom and wife and daughter and Friend that I want to be. God did not intend for us to fly, but we travel through the air. I agree, god didnt intend for your friend to have large/perky/insert your own word boobs. He didnt mean for us to travel 70 miles an hour.. Cook food on a stove. Take Tylenol for headaches. Have electricity. Anti depressants. Insulin. Gmo foods. Cell phones. Microwaves. Hair dye. Makeup. Ivf. Have food readily available 30 feet away from us continually. The food he made available for us was grains, fruits and vegetables and one can argue, animals. But we have Doughnuts, pizza, cookies, candy bars, potato chips, cheeseburgers, fast food restaurants on every corner, delivery. Etc. I do not believe that this is a moral issue. It's 100% between the individual and god. And I'm frustrated that she would say such a thing. But I have some friends like that.
  15. Thanks for the tip!!
  16. Good!!! scales are evil! I have not had my surgery yet, but I can offer this being on the outside looking in. 40 pounds in one month is incredible! Because you have put the scale away, let's pretend like you lost 20 pounds last month and 24 pounds this month! . Pretty awesome if you ask me!!!!
  17. I lost 60 lbs and kept it off..... for a minute. My husband and I were like rabbits..... For a minute. Lol
  18. I'm still trying to figure out how one picks up a woman during sex.... Sounds hot. I'm happy for you!! It all sounds fantastic!!
  19. If I could move it up, I totally would. But i haven't gotten the surgery yet, so I'd wait for one of them to chime in about recovery time. Afa your boyfriend? Does he love you? Does he want you to be happy? Does he want you to be healthy? Then he should deal.
  20. You can also watch videos of him and his team on YouTube to kindof "meet" them. The videos are done by ready for a change.
