  6. How long would you say the shedding lasted! My heart dropped when I saw the amount of hair that was coming out in my brush. I am willing to cut it if necessary, long, thin hair is not cute! However, I was hoping you could shed some light on how long this might last!

  8. I hit a stall and trust me it does not last! Maybe you should reevaluate what you are doing in the gym/ or what you're doing as far as exercising. Sometimes when you start weight training your body loses inches and remember muscle weighs more than fat! Be encouraged!!!!

  11. I went to Dr. Garcia in March 29! Best decision ever. They are still supportive and just a phone call or email away! Best wishes to you!
  12. Yes, There is air conditioning. I actually used all my covers because I was kind of cold. The IV will be an issue because of the lack of fluids. Whether in Mexico or the US, that would be difficult for any Nurse.
  13. Florence was great. I was there a little over 7 weeks ago. I only had one nurse who had limited English but the others were great. A doctor was there 24 hours a day and they were very attentive. It was peaceful, temp was great. I have no complaints really.
  14. Hi, I went to Dr. Garcia. I was actually there with cindysc. She and I hung out and still keep in touch. Research until it feels right. If you want you can see my story under prettynpink in Mexico. Message me if I can help. Good luck to you

  20. Hey there! Had mine for like 9 days. Since surgery. It was on time but lasted for what felt like forever!

  22. The nurses were great and the hospital was real quiet! When you're dehydrated any nurse would have a difficult time finding your vein. She didn't tough me with a needle until she was certain she had a good vein.
  23. Went alone, and I was truly at peace. I relaxed, recovered, and had some time for just me! Hubby took care of the kiddos, and I was content with going by myself. I felt safe. There is always someone with you!
  24. I went to Dr Garcia on March 29 and still do not feel hunger. My stomach "turns" when its time to put something in there. Talk to Dr. Garcia, I am sure he would be ready to offer suggestions. Good luck to ya

  27. I personally believe Dr. Garcia could be more expensive if he worked out of a larger, more upgraded facility. I wouldn't be surprised if his price increased over the next year or two. He is a fantastic surgeon and his team is amazing. Good luck with whomever you choose
