  1. Is anyone scared about crossing over the border? I was cutting a little Hispanic girls hair the other day and she said that she wouldn't go there because they try to get into your vehicle and they climb all over it trying to get in! But she said mainly at night. Ugh. This is freaking me out!
  2. When are you all paying your deposits and getting plane tickets?
  3. This would be sooo much easier if I had someone doing it with me! I would love for both of you to be there when I'm there! That would be great! We could all support each other!
  4. Do it! We can all do it on the 11th!
  5. I'm going spring break too! Haven't sent my deposit in yet though.
  6. I'm so sorry to hear this! Thank God you're alive and on the road to recovery! This isn't the first story that I've heard about the band eroding in someone's body.... It's a very scary thought!
  7. Awesome! what company did you go with if you don't mind me asking? And who is your coordinator? I've talked with several... Ready4Achange, alighterme and Mexico bariatrics.
  8. Yep! That sounds like a plan to me!!
  9. Lol I don't think I'd know how to act being able to strut down the beach in a bathing suite instead of an oversized tshirt and shorts... This is definitely going to be a different life for me! But sooooo looking forward to it! what about you guys?!
  10. Haha yeah! The view would be nice though but I need to save the money
  11. Dr. Lopez but haven't decided if I wanna go to TJ or PV... More than likely TJ though because I'm not gonna be able to enjoy the beach and all that coming out of surgery.
  12. Meeeee! Lol I picked a Doctor and hopefully I can stick to it! I need to send my deposit in ASAP so I will quit changing my mind! I read a bad experience and keep doctor hopping around. Ugh...
  13. Yep! And it's not that much more! Look into it! It's beautiful. I'm undecided too... I also was checking plane tickets in March and the tix to PV were like 200 dollars cheaper than going to San Diego.
  14. I mapquested it lol PV is right at 1000 miles away and San Diego is 1500 miles away. But you're right, Tijuana is much closer to the US border.
  15. Did you look into going to PV? It's sooo beautiful!
  16. I've read a few bad experiences today and it's got me second guessing myself... But I just have to do it. I can't continue gaining weight and the whole diet and exercise thing just doesnt work for me. One of the main reasons why I want this surgery is because it helps with the hunger hormone. I will be more apt to stick with it then! I've always been able to lose weight with diet pills but once I stop taking them, the weight comes back!
  17. I'm nervous and super excited at the same time! I'm actual eating a Baby Ruth as I'm writing this, but thinking that it won't be long until I'm not gonna have stuff like this anymore... I think it's actually making me gain weight right now lol
  18. Are you going to PV alone? I am looking into going there, but will be on my own.
  19. Scrolling around on here the past few months, I have rarely seen anyone have complications. This is actually really terrifying to me.... I'm glad that you are alright now! Did they ever figure out why that happened exactly?
  20. I seriously just need to put all the surgeons I'm considering into a hat and pull a name out lol I can't make up my mind
  21. I'm just now seeing this PV and it's looking mighty tempting! Looks beautiful there!
  22. I might be able to go the same time you do! That's around the time I'm gonna go but it all depends on when I get my income tax check in lol
