Hey I am March 23rd with Garcia! I feel better knowing someone else will be there. What company and coordinator are you using?

With my luck if I do that they will find it and I will wind up in a Mexican jail!!!!!

Ok maybe its different when you have surgery. Then they know you aren't just there for the narcotics.

I am scheduled to have the Sleeve Surgery with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana Mexico on March 23. I am so excited but also worried. I know the sleeve is made so you can't eat large amounts of food. My problem is that I already don't eat large amounts. In fact I hate the feeling of being full. I am a snacker. It is not unusual for me to go 2-3 days without eating a meal. I will eat junk food and sweets throughout the day instead. I eat stuff such as little debbies, ice cream, frozen pot pies, ramen noodles, and similar junk. Do you think the sleeve will help me eat less and better? I know it is not a miracle cure but I hope it will be a tool to help me eat better and no sweets. I would love to hear from someone who has had the sleeve surgery and who had the same bad eating habilts as me. Please let me know what you think from your experiences with your sleeve. I have researched all the different surgeries and this one seems to have the best results with the least side effects. I don't think I have heard of anyone who was unhappy with the results. I am 32 years old, 5'3", 310 pounds, with a BMI of almost 55. I have to do something and I feel like this is the surgery for me but I don't want to spend this hard earned money if it is not going to work. Please let me know what you think, whether it's good or bad. Also I would love to meet people who are having surgery around the same time as me in Tijuana. THANKS!!

You sound just like me and our weights are not that different!! When did you have your surgery? Your comment makes me feel alot better.

Thank you all for your input. I totally eat out of boredom. I very rarely get hungry. I don't expect this to be a miracle cure, just a tool to help me lose weight. I know I will have to do alot of work myself. The nurse I talked to said I would only have a 4oz capacity for food. Even though I only eat small meals I know I eat alot more than that. I just don't want to sabotage this with sweets.
