  1. FYI people: Kristina has been my mentor on here - i had a little bumpy road starting here and she helped me with my social retardation lol To be totally honest I don't feel scared or anxious anymore I think in most part because of this site. I've had a breast reduction and it was painful but to style worth it. Biggest fear is having complications on the flight home - that would be a little scary haha And the diet I have w Garcia is now light bfast day before surgery then liquids - I CAN TOTALLY CAN DO THAT!! lol I'm flying into LA for 2 days (shopping for size S clothes) and need to book my flights to SD, not sure how long my layover will be but on the way home could be easier?...
  2. Ur I got my 100th notifications email! Haha to be honest I'm gettin my info off here - also I have a friend in Canada who went a few weeks ago so I feel it's fairly legit. People say - "aren't u worried those people are paid by the drs?" It's quite possible there's a few but generally I feel confident it's all good. I was looking at cancun w dr Perez but plans have changed and dr Garcia looks very popular and great reviews. I'm hopefully traveling w a friend who will also have the surgery (I've given her this site to read) an as long as her money comes threw we are on our way in 6 weeks! Failing that ill be going solo ... But I see lots of woman do and are all feeling very safe about their decision. So excited!
  3. No I haven't yet - may hopefully .... But I think this looks like its worth the extra $1000 - plus I don't like my belly button lol
  4. Dr Garcia does it in TJ - extra $1000 ... I've had a quick investigation and it all seems more beneficial ... Less incisions (obv) also quicker healing time. Sound good to me! Lol
  5. To be honest I haven't even tried this product but I have just bought it for my auckland - LaX trip (and home again) in a few weeks . I've got friends who have tried it and say its great! Www.fly1above.com It's a 100ml bottle of concentrate you put into your water bottle Benefits - electrolytes (fatigue) , vitamin B (energy) polyphenol (supports circulation) low calorie ... As I'm on a loooong flight anything to help w circulation sounds good to me. I'm worried about blood clots - will also get the compression socks. I'm on my iPhone so won't list the whole ingredients but its apple juice / cider vinegar, magnesium etc ... Have a look on the website - just though someone might be interested.
  6. Has anyone had their sleeve done via just the one hole in their belly button?
  7. Hahah thanks for ALL those replys lol
  8. Hahah thanks for ALL those replys lol
  9. Thank you!!! Exactly what I was looking for!! Less worried now
  10. Isn't Mexico warm / the desert?!? Lol I'm going to google temps in may
  11. Hahaha Atlanta ... Try flying back to Auckland New Zealand after! They suggested we stay 3 nights in the hotel ... I'm also paying and extra $900 to fly premium economy from LAX -> NZ .... Going to be the longest trip home ever! Lol
  12. How stupid can they be to ignore her - obviously that would end up on here and be VERY BAD ADVERTISING ...
  13. At this rate. So am I! ... Want to book it already
  14. Yes that are, I may not be as big but I have ALLLL the same feelings towards food as everyone on here - only diff is I don't want to waste anymore of my life and leave it till I'm older. Thanks but that photo has a lot of apps enhancing it haha x
  15. Believe me I called my friends in tears after "the fat chick" comment... And it went on for days - I never really thought I was big enough for this surgery as an option ... But I've come to the end of my tether. I feel invisible now which is hard when i used to get attention. I have 0 confidence and that in itself is very unattractive. I pictured a very different life for me by this age. And I know it's what's on the inside that counts but you need confidence!!! Thanks so much for your kind words and yes I think that lady meant it as a compliment - it was hard to fight back tears in a crowded plane tho!! Haha x
  16. And if its just to make sure my stomach is empty why can't I have a Starbucks hot chocolate? Lol they're filling ... Wonder why it has to be clear?
  17. That's another problem - I'm on 30 now - what will 3 days not eating do!? What if I'm under and I've flown all the way there! Grrr so many questions. I'm trying to eat all the yummy things now for a back up supply lol
