    Smoking...ugh!

    I smoked up until the night before my surgery. I was supposed to quit one month prior but I just couldn't. I haven't had a cigarette since and it feels amazing!!! You can do it...willpower!

    Always cold!

    This is too funny because pre-sleeve I was always hot and now I'm always freezing. Last night I slept with my slippers on my feet and my jacket on! I was in Target last week and couldn't even go near the refrigerated aisle...way too cold!

    I was sleeved on 7/4 by Dr Garcia. I highly recommend him and his team. The best decision I've ever made in my entire life!!

    New here!

    Hi all! After many years of not wanting weight loss surgery (I'm scared of anesthesia) I've finally come to the reality that this is something I need to do! I have an appointment next week with a fabulous Doctor. Can anyone tell me what to expect?

    Speechless

    Print out the insurance companies requirements and show it to him. That's what I did when my Dr was being stupid about the necessary paperwork.

    WiFi at TJ

    Between my husband and I we had 2 iPhones and an iPad. The Marriott gave us three envelopes w/wi-fi passwords. We never paid anything and when the code expired (24 hr limit) they gave us three new codes.

    Tijuana Bariatrics?

    I had surgery with Dr Garcia but I went through Ready4AChange. Maybe you might have better luck going that route?

    Did you feel like your laptop was safe?

    Nope, never. There's a safe in the room at the Marriott also. I left my iPhones and iPads in the room, no problem. Even at the hospital..

    help with pricing and airports

    No clue what other airport you could use, San Diego is the closest.
