SUPER EXCITED!! (and a little nervous) Getting sleeved by Dr. F. Garcia --- hoping to find some new friends!

I'm having my surgery with him January 25th. I'll pot here and let you know ho it goes.

I'm 4'10' date=' 12 weeks out and down 70 lbs. my starting weight was 273, 257 surgery, and 203 now. I don't think my pant sizes are decreasing as quickly as someone average height as I've only gone from a tight 24 to a 20, however, the weight loss is great. Just curious what someone my heights goal weight is?[/quote']

I'm 4'10 and my goal is 105-110. I was happiest with my looks when I was 93 lbs but now I'm 12 years older and I've had a baby so I don't think it's possible for my body do get that small again. I'm having surgery in two weeks! So excited.

Lulu we should totally try and link up at the hotel when you arrive on the 24th! I will still be at the Marriott on the 25th too

I'm actually arriving in TJ on the 25th and having surgery the same day. I live in San Diego so I am able to bypass the hotel before and after. I will just spend the 2 days in the hospital.

Age: 30

Height: 4'11

CW: 198

GW: 105

I'm thinking of putting my deposit' date=' but am still trying to figure out the day to schedule because of work. Will they allow you to leave upon discharge from the hospital?[/quote']

Yes, but they said its only because I live in San Diego and could go back easily if I need to.

Was anyone asked to wear these before and after surgery? If so where did you buy them.

I will probably be gone by then. I'm only staying the two days in the hospital and not going to the hotel afterwards.

I am thinking of booking January 25th with dr. F Garcia. Anyone else going at that time? I think I will be going alone so it would be great to meet others going at the same time.

I'm so scared to actually put my deposit down though. It's scary to go to another country for surgery.

I'm thinking of scheduling on 1/21 with Ortiz too. I'm still trying to decide though. I'm not sure if I should save 5k by going to Mexico or just have surgery in the states.

Hi, I think you are going to Dr. Mueller right? I am going with him too. I also have to do the 6 month diet. My first appointment is next week with the dietician at his office. It totally sucks to have to wait so long but there is no way around it.

I did call my insurance and the surgery is covered. They said I would just need to meet the requirements of my medical group. I just can't seem to find out what the medical group requirements are.

I have anthem blue cross *** with sharp community medical group and I keep hearing my medical group would require a 6 month diet but my insurance doesn't. When I first asked for the referral for surgery it was denied then I filled out a form listing past diets I tried and I was approved for the consult with the surgeon. Does anyone know if that means the surgery will get approved?
