  1. dr garcia july 17, wheres Dr Rod?
  2. I have made up my mind of who to go with and I choose Dr Garcia. I was workind with another coorinator, who apparently nop longer works for the particular DR.. and I thought that it would have an impact on the cost, etc, but it does not. Alma contacted me from Dr Garcia, first she emailed me then she called me. I really felt like she knows her stuff and is there for us to help us all the way through. I was emailing her last night and she was replying.. I never imagined that she would but low and behold.. Im glad I have someone who I can contact at any time and within a matter of hours have an answer.. I am going alone and I told her that, she was so reassuring and let me know that there are 2 gals who will check on me at the hotel..
  3. I just joined this site, I just got my date today July 17!! Cant wait.. I wish I could tell more people but I know what they will say.. im not big enough for surgury and im nuts to do it in Mexico.. im 5'8 and weigh 228 today and have battled all my life with my weight.. im ready to shop in the misses department and buy a size thats not double digits! lol I decided to go to Mexico after a friend of mine did a few months back and had a great experience and looks great! My insurance doesnt cover the procedure, so im self pay. Id love to have some july buddies.. anyone going to mexico? Dr Fernando Garcia? Love this site and all the support!!
  4. thanks for all the helpful hints.. im new to this site and really like the fact that I can ask anything and get an answer
  5. I am trying to decide which DR to use.. Im down to Garcia and Kelly.. the only difference is see is the drain.. they both seem to have good reviews and at one time worked together.. all good things come to an end sometimes.. but that smy delemma. My friend had hers done in january and really likes Garcia.. I just cant get over the no drain thing with Kelly.. I guess if he uses it sometimes.. thats good, maybe personal preference?
  6. From what I have read, Dr Kelly uses no drain.. does anyone have an opinion about This? Where does the fluid go if you dont have a drain? I heard that it is alot less painful without the drain but is it ok to drian inside your body? This is probably more of a medical question..
  7. I was wondering if anyone has scheduled without a coordinator? Can you go straight through the Dr? I am thinking about using Dr Garcia for my surgury.. opinions either way would be great or can you even do it without one?

  9. Does anyone know about IUD and the Sleeve? All this talk about periods and im wondering if I need to address anything with my IUD before surgury?
