  1. I'm going to a Dr. Gonzalez, but he's across the San Diego Border in Mexico. He is only 6300
  2. my youtube name is "shesstrangelynormal" and I have a few pre-op videos up so far and I'll be documenting what surgery is rally like in Mexico
  3. Vitamin water zero uses stevia as a sweetener. It is the 1st drink I've seen that does and I about did a cart wheel when I saw it
  4. After months of research I'm going with Dr Francisco Gonzalez. He's with BajaMed Group. I don't want the experience of being herded through like cattle being tagged. I'm sure this is going to piss people off with me saying that. Google him. His records and achievements speak for themselves. No, your not going to see his name plastered up on here BC he doesn't pay all of the tons of money on advertising and supporting these forums to promote his name. He doesn't need to. Period. I'm paying 6300 and have been on touch with my surgeons from the get-go. I'm also vlogging my entire experience at YouTube.com/shesstrangelynormal. Ultimately, if u wanna stand in line all day like cattle being tagged, go with someone else and pay 4500-5000. That's not for me. Ugh
  5. I'm not seeing Dr Kelly, but my surgery is July 19. I'll be at the hotel Reàl Del Rio the 18th, 21st, 22nd 23rd
  6. Another note: there will be lots of others at the marriott when Ur there seeing other surgeons. So post on the board regularly what Ur surgery date is and others will see it and u can swap info
  7. Also, u may get a wider variety of answers to a post-op question in the post-op forum instead of pre-op :-p
  8. Ok hun, thank u for keeping us updated. I'm glad u got that med BC now u should be able to get hydrated. Feel better soon
  9. That's weird. Alighterme was going to put me up at hotel ticuan and ready 4achange at the marriott. Maybe it depends on the coordinator?
  10. My guy is a chef as well... but he is even considering the surgery.
  11. depends on which coordinator you use as to where you are staying. ready4achange uses the marriott. alighterme doesnt
  12. No problem. I'm actually taking some with me when I go to the hospital to have my sleeve
  13. My sister loves her lap band. She got it in '02, so this summer will be 10 years. she lost her weight slow and steady, going from a size 28 to a size 7. She had to have a tummy tuck and has hanging skin on her arms and thighs and has not had a single issue with her band BUT has said numerous times that if the sleeve had been an option then she'd have had it. She'd have lost the weight faster and wouldn't have to live with that "stuck" feeling. plus she has seen so many others having scar tissue built up/revisions that it would have turned her to the sleeve.
  14. Gargle with biotene mouthwash asap. Don't worry it is alcohol free so it won't burn. You can get it in the mouthwash section at Walmart. It is for dry mouth and mouth wounds. My Dr told me about it when I got my tongue pierced and I've even used it when I had step. It does wonders and u will never use anything else
  15. Lol. Houston, don't u worry a bit. I really am easily confused
  16. hey guys I posted my vlog about food funerals and answered some emails if y'all wanna watch www.youtube.com/shesstrangelynormal
  17. I'm thinking the girls I'm bringing with me will love it too
  18. I still laugh, slim, so it is ok. I've had what rootman was describing happen to me too. It'll be a thing of the past before long though
  19. I'm going to Tijuana flying in to San Diego will be my 1st time in California. Karen, urs us right before my birthday, which is in the 29th of June
  20. That's ok. Lots of people have a hard time liking me. Lol
  21. Hey there! I'm so happy for u and even envious! You better keep me posted about how Ur doing post-op too
