New Here And Excited

Hello everyone!!! I have been lurking for a bit and just trying to read up and absorb all the information that is here!!! I am happy to announce that tonight I will go home and pay my deposit with Dr. Garcia! I talked to alma today and she said that the two dates that I am considering are open.... So I will be going to Mexico the week before memorial day. I am a little nervous but it's not too bad since I have had another surgery in Mexico and feel confident that this experience will be just as wonderful as my first experience!!!!

Sorry i am so ruse. My name is Kisha and i am a mother of 7 and have been denied two times by my insurance. They say that even though my BMI Is 39 and I have degenerative bone issues I still don't qualify. I was devastated and I think in that process I gained five pounds. But I remembered the last time that my insurance denied me and decided that it's was time to take matters into my own hands ago!!! So here I am....

I wish there was a 'what to expect...' thread because I have a ton of questions. But I will keep going through all of the threads.

It's my time now!!! And once I set the official date tonight I will be in countdown mode!!!! I just wanna scream!!!

Kisha
