Hello,

pretty new to this side of the board...had my heart set on the band and then watched how the weight just didnt come off for a friend of mine and then watched my cousin have the VSG and watched the lbs just literally melt off in months. Made my decision alot easier!

Anyway, if all goes right, I will have surgery with Dr Garcia in TJ on June 14th. Was hoping to connect with other people having surgery on or about the same time! My support system right now is my husband, who is leaving in less than 1 month to go work in Alaska for 6 months :-( The only other family I have is my sister, who doesnt approve and my father who has other things on his plate to worry about. I did get mmy Aunt to go with me to Mexico and we are both excited at the chance to spend some time together (she lives 6 hrs from me)

Really looking forward to finding friends to connect with....Im always down for a good text conversation, or email!

Goood luck to everyone!

:-)

Ugh, small hiccup in my plans. My aunt who was supposed to go with me to Mexico cant get the time off of work. Its totally understandable and im not angry or mad or anything but just a little more apprehensive about going alone. I REALLY REALLY wish my husband was going with me but by that time he'll be working in Alaska (he leaves april 18th). Im a tough girl and I dont fear going alone, just wish I had someone to be there for me when I wake up...

Anyway....still looking for someone who will be in TJ the same time as me June 13th thru the 18th!

I am sorry to hear about your change of plans. I will be going May 10 alone too, and NJShannon might be going then to. Check out the monthly forum maybe someone else has posted there.

Goofy, what doctor are you using again? We are gonna go ahead and try to commit to a surgery date today - and maybe bumping it up a bit to June 14th.

Oh just found it.... Garcia! I don't think we will see each other though... but we are looking at the 14th.

yes Debly, commit!

Debly, Im thinking about flying out on the 13th and having surgery on the 14th or possibly taking a super early flight that puts me in San Diego at 9am and having surgery later that afternoon...I havent decided yet?!?!

Delby, & Goofy, I just may have to change mine to somewhere inbetween those dates.

Cissie you're a Dr Kelly patient aren't you? I'm getting them all jumbled up! Maybe we can schedule the same day??

I am with Dr Kelly! I know! I am getting confused... I saw someone suggest makina a calendar so we could keep track with eachothers dates and Dr 's. My issue is, that we are getting a settlement on june 5th, and I can't afford plane tickets until then! I priced them know at 4-5 days away and they are insane! Like 450, instead of 170. So that's the whole reason for the switch. I hate to put it off even one extra minute, but dang I can't justify that extra cost, when, at two weeks out, they Go back to the lower price....

June 25, 2012 with Dr. Garcia..... nervous. Good luck to you.

June 28 with Dr. Kelly.

Hello Sunny! I am scheduled for June 27 with Dr. Kelly!! How are you holding up through the anticipation?!!! We will probably meet soon. :-)

Hope you are done and not having a rough time. Be sure and post when you get time. June 27th is getting closer for me - I screwed up and thought I read the "no ibuprofren" was the 3 days prior but now I see it's 2 weeks so OOPS - I always take ibuprofren for morning headaches so no more now I guess til after surgery.

I'm doing great! Cousins be happier with my decision and the dr and nurses and everyone else are just great!

So you had it done already and are where? Home or still in Mexico?
