I heard that Dr. Garcia changed to florence because they are charging him the same as Mi Doctor, but the facility is newer and nicer.

Gassing the room is short term and will get better. Not!!! Over nine months out and still gassy all the time. Was fun at first until I realized I was no longer in middle school. The dog also refused to be my scapegoat any longer. lol.

Girl I'm taller than that!
And unlike the last time I lost weight, this time my body is morphing into a blemish free model ready shape!

That explains why I'm growing taller!!!

I just had surgery last Wednesday (7/24) & was back to work on Monday. Granted I did half day on Monday, but was back at full day on Tuesday & Today. But I think I'm definitley not the norm.

It's 9:37pm my time and she is answering all my questions; I'm so happy! I can book Dr. Garcia for Saturday 8/31, work half a day on Friday 8/30, and be back at home that Tuesday! I'm excited!

Okay, so I've been trying to figure out who will be staying at the hotel with me over the Labor Day weekend. Roll call! I'll be there Sunday - Wednesday.

No one is going to be spending Labor Day weekend with me?

Well, I'm hoping that I can make it at least 5 hours, then it counts as a full-day Salary is nice occasionally!

I think it's time to jump. I'm going to book Dr. Garcia on 8/31. I'll fly out after work on Friday, and be back home Tuesday. Hopefully, I'll feel up to going back to work on Wednesday (I just sit at my desk all day). Total cost with Airfare will be less than $5100. I've heard only positive things about most of the Drs. so I'm sure any decision would be a good one.

Larinea was just on chat. She speaks spanish. She's more than happy to have you join her in your adventure!

I told my Mom that some of the surgeons have practiced, trained, and/or been certified in the US. They just choose to work in Mexico as it's so much cheeper without all the high malpractice insurance costs etc.

Yup. Someone told me that TJ is safe unlike the Texas border towns because all the docs were sick of loosing money from the medical tourists who were too afraid to go. They went on strike and demanded the city get cleaned up. Of course, their strike meant the city lost a lot of money so the government had to clean house. They have, and TJ is safe again now.

8/9 seems to be a popular day. I'm sure you can meet with other sleevers in the SAN airport and go in a large group. Would that make you Father feel better? Have you checked out the August sleevers topic and connected with those peep?

I read through some of your posts... You're going with Dr. Illan?! he will actually Skype with you! So your Dad can see him on the computer and talk with him!

It just sunk in that I'm going to be in TJ the home of the most AMAZING fish tacos in the world (or so I've been told) and not able to sample one! HAHA. Ah well. "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

You will be fine! The most dangerous part of your trip will probably be getting through the TSA at the airport!

I have created a Facebook page titled August Sleevers if anyone would like to join.

I am going to be on my way to Mexicali, and surgery with Dr. Aceves. That being said, I read part of whatever little dust-up happened over someone coming home un-sleeved. From what I read, this was her own choice.
My choice is to go forward with my trip and I will ask about his complications. There are thousands of threads on these forums and I know (even though I may not have much of a life)that I have not had time to go through all the complications, just as some people do not share their "easy" outcomes - so that others don't get the wrong idea. Could it just be possible that all the people who had complications did not post their outcomes??

I understand why the mods are doing what they are. It helps to control flaming etc. However, it also leads me to wonder whether there's been a horror story about my coordinator or Dr. that has also been hidden that could have helped me decide to go with someone else.

It's Sunday afternoon, and I'm about to call alma back and pay my deposit. Then I need to book airfare.
THEN This S*&T is real!!!!!!!!!!!! Money on the line and all.
