  1. Where to get this stuff?? Anyone have any reputable names? How much did your little luxuries cost in USD??
  2. Any surgery you have which requires anesthesia commonly results in hairloss due to the trauma... It isually always grows back... Just seems to take forever!
  3. I did hcg shots with supplements 8 years ago, lost 60 then when I stopped I gained back 70 And then 2 years ago I lost 30 with hcg homeopathic drops from www.yourhcg.com and when I stopped I gained back 40. I had energy while doing both and felt great. Was never hungry ... Realized it created a false sense because once I stopped, it was on me again. You can only do them for so long at a time. But It is a matter of changing the eating habits for good!!
  4. I will be sleeved March 22 with Garcia....would love to buddy up with anyone who will be there then! Walking crew... For gas!
  5. I am going alone March 22 to Garcia thru Ready4AChange and I am so excited... Figuring out flights is a pain! (Huge expense to figure into budget for times needed) Does anyone know if MiHospital has WiFi?
  6. I am booked with him in March!
  7. Our insurance covers it too but we just got it with my husbands new job and need to be on it 3 years before even applying for it so I have decided now is the time and paying for it is totally worth it! I will be sleeved with Garcia in March!

  16. Today I booked my surgery with Dr. Fernando Garcia for 3/23/13 and I am sooooo excited!! Let the journey begin!! Anyone else have these dates?? Also, any who are already sleeved, would love to hear what to not to forget to bring with me!! Also... what "hidden" expenses $$$ should I budget for on my trip to Mexico??
  17. Make sure to have your hairdresser put in highlights that are very strategically placed for fullness-look trick and this will help while you go through this transition..... I went through the same thing several years ago and it was very Tramatic.... I had handfuls of hair just coming out daily and eventually it did grow back.... I am on 5,000 mg of biotin and it really helps a lot once I started taking the biotin every single day, without fail... it took a while for the biotin to work but eventually hair is all back now. Keep up the protein and get all vitamins in, I hear after this surgery, its common but come back, dont use heavy styling products to weigh it down or clog pores... And do not start minoxidil until your sure you can use it daily, hairloss from this surgery is temporary...once you start minoxidil, you cannot stop!!
  18. So I was going thru my information I have compiled together for my future surgery in Mexico and when I came to Dr. Garcia,...... it seems there is a Dr. Fernando Garcia and then a Dr. Ismael Cabrera Garcia, ........ so then I thought, ok I need to clarify this... Can anyone clarify the two, have you used either and if so which and your experience with them please. I want to make sure I am making a decision based on the correct Garcia as I see so many posts with the name Dr. Garcia and I want to make sure I know who is who. My questions would be: 1.) Who did you book thru, cost and which Garcia? 2.) Your experience and facility and hotel used 3.) Would you recommend? Sooooo many posts lately where they just put "Dr. Garcia" and its all blending together and with so many booking companies with all the same doctors, it can get confusing whos good for the doctor but also who is a good booking company with a good reputation for doing as they say!! Thanks a ton in advance!!
