    Good Luck to you both! It is really a wonderful feeling once you see the weight fall off
  2. Also, I don't know about the single incision but the 5 ones that I do have you can barely see them and they are tiny. I use shea butter and Vaseline to help it fade away faster in which it is working
  3. Go to him! He is the best! I did TONS of research on him and he has had no fatalities or mishaps! My biggest regret is that I did not do this sooner! Their English is good, He is accredited as well through BBB, the hospital is clean, you have your own privacy, the hotel is clean, etc. Talk to Ms. alma (love her to pieces) and she will take care of you!This was my first surgery and I have nothing but positive reviews to give. I made videos about my journey and I encourage you to do the same so that way you and your loved ones can see your progression! If you have anymore questions, please ask me! http://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=17cEIHL0Dg0&u=/watch%3Fv%3DuRXk9RALuyk%26feature%3Dem-upload_owner
  4. My doctor was Dr. Fernando Garcia at ready4achange in Tijuana, Mexico! It was the best experience I 've had
  5. @@naan Good Morning! I hope you are enjoying your wonderful Friday! I have a question for you and please forgive me if I come off strong because it is not my intention, but I am being honest... When you decided to get this surgery, you knew that it would be a life changing process. Why deprive your body from its needs? I have a VERY BUSY schedule myself to where I can't even spend a full day with my own husband, but I make darn sure that my body is being fed what it needs between liquids and food. You do know that you can really harm your body by depriving it right? You might want to take the time out to see what lacking can cause on the body. Have you tried taking on the go protein shakes? I carry a bag on me all day which includes my meals, shakes, water, etc to make sure that I have no excuse as to why I can't keep something in my system. Also download "water your body" app which is an alarm to remind you to put something in your body. Why put your body through something like that if your not "mentally" ready to put your body first before the rest of your life? Your health is number 1 everything else can wait. If you can go to the bathroom you can sit on a toilet and drink something while your using the bathroom.. Hope this helps

  12. If you have your mind set right, the recovery is a piece of cake. This Friday will make 1 month for me and I feel amazing!
  13. Hi there! How are you? I am doing really good! The best decision I ever made! Weds. I move to step 4 so I am really excited about that. I love how I am feeling and I love learning new things about myself
  14. Hi there! I am just searching to see if anyone will be traveling to Mexico on December 8th to be sleeved on December 9th? These are the days that I will be there (Dec. 8th-13th) and I wanted to be able to have that buddy system for support. Thanks

    DECEMBER SLEEVERS WITH DR. FERNANDO GARCIA

    It was the best decision I ever made! I loved it there! Everybody was so nice and respectable! I really want to go back! I have posted pictures and my experience on my weight loss journey as well!
  16. Please don't beat yourself up! Those 50 carbs are not going to kill you! You have been doing good. Just think of it as a reward for all the hard work and go to the gym tonight and sweat it off. I went on a cruise before my surgery and I worked out daily. I did good on the boat but for two nights I had ice cream and a piece of cake. I realized that I have been on point for all these months and now that I am about to make a life change, I am beating myself up on something that I haven't treated myself to in a long time. I enjoyed what I ate (never did I overdo it) but I worked extra hard in the gym. I have been sleeved and that did not mess up what I had. Hope this helps

    DECEMBER SLEEVERS WITH DR. FERNANDO GARCIA

    Okay I will be arriving in San Diego on the 8th around 225pm and leaving at 12 on the 13th. So we will be right behind each other I have been doing 2 protein shakes a day for some time now but I will start on the pre-op diet probably on the 3rd of December. I can't wait to hang out with you! Super Excited!!! Yes, it's better to start now with drinking your protein shakes because it took me a while to get used to do 2 a day and now I love them. What shakes are you using? Also from my understanding please pack your towels and wash cloths because I keep reading that the hospital runs out of them. So just be prepared

    Okay!! great that is right around the corner! Please keep me updated as well on your stats! I am trying not to be anxious, but I am a little, I am just trying to knock off at least 10more pounds before the surgery!

    Dr. Elias Ortiz or Dr. Fernando Garcia?

    @@kimbella morning! I just went on Google and printed out the pre and post instructions for my surgery. I then went oordered a panthlet from a dr in my area and it was all the same.

    Excited but scared

    Morning! That sounds great!!! I am looking forward to those encouraging words! That sucks 6 months! I heard that some insurance requires that. We have Cigna and mine was only 4 visits which was 4 months, but hey what is another 2 months?-lol I will have to try that and see how it will do with my system. Before I was using whey Protein, but it was so hard on my system. My taste buds started to change, and then atkins became too sweet for me. That's when the staff referred me to the one that I use now. Thanks
