  1. Are you planning on using Dr. Garcia?
  2. I'm going to go to Mexico alone for my VSG, if you went alone; how was your experience? Please share your story with me.
  3. I'm scheduled to have mine with Dr. Fernando Garcia in TJ Mex. ; I will be going alone; because I'm having to be private about my procedure. I'm sure they will have other people that will go alone also.
  4. How far is the hospital from the border? I worry about going far away from the border. LOL,
  5. Brighteyes, Aww, I will definitely be praying for you and I know that it's going to line up perfect for you. Take it to God and leave it at the altar, it's already worked out; just trust and believe. I'm going to go for surgery in October; where are you having your surgery and what doctor.
  6. Trying to follow this crazy ass story; so this chic went to Mexico for weightloss surgery. However, she ended up having some type of fling with the damn doctor. What the hell is going on?
  7. If you're going to use Ready 4 A Change, how far in advance do you have to schedule your surgery with Dr. Garcia? For instance, if a person want to have surgery in November, how soon does Ready 4 A Change want you to call, schedule, and pay your deposit? Thanks
  8. Are you guys saying that, this fee isn't included in the overall price. Would the coordinators take care of this? Why would anybody have to even give their credit card information?
  9. Who's doing your sleeve? I wish you well; I know you're super excited about having the sleeve. Good Luck with your weight loss journey.
  10. Are you getting sleeved in the States?
  11. Where are you planning on going for your surgery when you're ready?
  12. Yes, Ccornacchia714 it's a sign of healing. During the healing process your skin will itch.
  13. Where are you having your surgery at? I'm looking forward to it also, still in the research phase. When did you decide to have surgery and how long did you research? Being nervous and asking yourself a slew of questions is normal. You will do fine.
  14. Athinnerme commented on nygurl's blog entry in hockeyMa's Blog
    I will follow your progress, thanks for sharing. I hoping to be sleeved in the next few months or so. Who did your sleeve?
  15. Hope you're feeling better. Why did he remove your gallbladder, did you know he was planning on removing it. What was the indication that your gallbladder needed to be removed? Your surgery time was very late, what type of complications were the others having?
  16. What was your weight and height before sleeve?
  17. Go head hot mama, I Love It!!!
  18. A few Frappes from Starbucks a week will get you there. If you feel comfortable at 15 that's okay, you'll just have to work on it, but don't over do it. I haven't been sleeve and was wondering about weightloss in a person that started off about where you started, my weight is 237 and I would be alright if I could get to 150, no less than 140. Good luck to you.
  19. Okay, great thanks for the responses guys.
  20. I would like to start looking at the pre-surgery diet that you have to follow to shrink the liver, can someone tell me where to look for it at? Also, if you go through Ready4AChange, do they e-mail you the diet you need to follow before surgery? How many days is the pre-surgery diet?
  21. Oh that is so good. I'm happy you're getting sleeved soon. My weight is steadily creeping up and it's starting to bring on depression. I don't go many places because it's so difficult to find decent clothes. I find myself wearing the same outfit repeatedly; because I may look halfway decent in it. Where are you getting sleeved by and where. What was your sleeve cost?
  22. I had a tummy tuck and completely ruined my waist, or what little I had. My pants nor skirt will stay at where my waistline is suppose to be; however my clothes always try to find where my old waist skin use to be. Which is where the skin was stretched to all the way to the pubic mons. I'm going to have a sleeve soon and hope that this weight loos with help me get another waist. There are days I wish I never had the tummy tuck.
  23. You gained all the 155 pounds you lost from the band? What happened? What was your weight before starting you journey with the band. Are you preparing for a sleeve, also?
