You are very welcome Laura.

Personally i think its no ones business who he is with...if the lady which is not a minor consented its their business.. It was Ok until she found out he was dating other women...she is scorned...but in all other countries Dr.s act less professional and you can take it a different way if you are not from the same culture.

Thank you for all the compliments :-)

So happy i did this i havent seen 230 in over 10 years.. The day i was going to have surgery june 6th Today june 25th

So glad all went well..you could email the Marriot..and in the folder is their phone number..

You look awesome!! Congrats girl.

I remember in the hotel room i tried to remove a lil corner..then i jumped in the shower and yanked it off in there..glue residue is so powerful my shirts were sticking to it..LOL...i decided to leave it alone let it come off when its ready..hes the boss lol...

I felt safe walking around in Tijuana...not many tourists as i expected..

I had the staples...but they are taken out on the 3rd day...i sprayed a antiseptic and i stopped covering them...so they can dry....are yours pink or do they look dry?

I was 247 when i had the sleeve, i weigh 233 now..and im 6ft.

It really doesnt look too bad..12 days postop Still have all the tape residue lol

Hey Dave..how are you doing???

I had a ritz cracker on day 4 postop..chewed til mush..

Im still here in Tijuana and i can vouch that i have had better treatment here than in the states by far...

I flew in around 10:45 am, and Samuel was already outside..he took me and hubby straight to Oasis, i checked in was given a room, was told to undress they gave a gown and thigh high compression stockings to put on. Immediately after i was taken to get chest xrays, lab work, ekg and was taken back to my room..all the doctors and nurses were awesome there were 4 of us waiting for surgery..they advised me i would be last because the 3 before me already have complications..which was ok with me.. I was in no hurry because i chatted alot with the staff..oh before i forget they weighed me.i was 242 lbs...down 14 lbs while on my preop diet.. At 8 pm Dr. Garcia came into my room, he apologized for taking so long then he explained the surgery and drew on his ipad what he was gonna do...adding the removal of my gallbladder..10 minutes later i go to the OR..they start prepping me..before i know it im back in my room. The treatment that i have had (btw im still in the hospital) has been outstanding, not even in the US was i ever given this treatment...

Thank you all..i am doing Great...hands Down Dr. Garcia is the best and his group of doctors and nurses give you the best treatment better than the hospitals in the US

Im finally sleeved and gallbladder removed..i was in pain. Yesterday but today i feel pretty good.,i will post my whole experience in as soon as i can...thank you all for all your support. :-)

On my way to the airport.. Official before pic taken today..so excited.

Yes i keep drinking water with dasani drops for some flavor..i only had to do 1 week preop diet and lost 7.5 lbs,..:-)
