  1. Is this a normal size or small? I don't know about the sizes.
  2. What lifting restrictions are there?
  3. I was just wondering what kind of pain meds every one got?
  4. I'm official! I have plane tickets and a date set!!! Dr Garcia on april 6th. I'm so excited. I have been gathering up stuff now so I won't forget anything. I have chewable vitamins, gas x strips, heating pad and a small pillow.
  5. That's right. Just be confident in your decision. I'm going in april 6 to Tijuana. Im more excited than nervous now. Reading all the great tips and good advice on how to be prepared has helped calm my nerves tremendously.
  6. Good luck!! You did a great job getting there!
  7. If you can come up with 3500 then you should try to get all of it instead of financing. You can do it!! Have a yard sale! Keep the faith. You are worth it!
  8. Oh ok. So unsweetened ice tea in moderation may be ok.
  9. Why can't you have caffeine? I better be trying to get off coffee and iced tea.
  10. Wow! It took courage and you deserve all the benefits you will get out it! Good for you!
  11. You are right. Thanks. I know that Dr Rod is a great surgeon but Dr Garcia was my original choice and I think I'll just stick with him. My husband is more comfortable with me going to TJ by myself than Juarez. It seems to be working out better anyways. Thank you for all your encouragement. Im trying to go the first week in April.
  12. Yes. I emailed a few times and but no reply. So I think that actions speak louder thing is starting to apply here. I have made up my mind to give my deposit to dr Garcia tomorrow.
  13. Alma has really worked hard at r4c and has even emailed me on the weekends. I haven't heard anything back even about my medical questionnaire. It's just a little frustrating because I am so anxious and excited to get started.
  14. I have been waiting for a week to hear back from so that I can schedule my appointment. How long does it take? Dr Garcia looked at my medical questionnaire that same night at 9:00pm and approved me. I'm starting to rethink my choice and go back to dr Garcia.
  15. Wow!! Uh huh! Your working that girl!
  16. Big giant woot woot!!! Yeah I'll say it again. WOOT WOOT! Food for you!!
  17. Good for you!!! You are doing great! What hospital were you at?
  18. Got the passport all taken care!! Yeah!!!
  19. I am going to Juarez. The first week in April. I'm thrilled!! Don't worry my sister got the sleeve and was the same way and now has lost 100lbs in a year.
  20. Thanks for the info !! I'm happy with my choice with Dr Rod! In very excited. I spoke with a coordinator before for Dr Garcia and ahe said they did not have in house financing. Im very pleased with my choice and really excited!!
  21. That sounds great !! Im so excited for you! How long did it take you to get an answer back?
  22. Thanks. That's pretty impressive !! Sounds like it was a good experience!
  23. Thank you for all your help answering questions. I'm going in April and I'm so excited!!
