Hubby is staying home with the kids and all of the close people in my life are working or I have yet to tell them.. im being really picky on who I tell because people are so opinionated and don't take into consideration peoples feelings anymore, or we get the why cant you just diet and excersize...

So u get to stay at a hospital? I like that idea better than a recovery house and being brought back and forth in a van for pain meds.. Lol how much are you paying for your sleeve? I know dr. Almanza is 4500.00

yes, well the first night pre- op is at hotel, then 2 nights at hospital MI, thats the name of the hospital, then 2 more nights at hotel. I cant imagine going back and forth in a van and staying at a house.. im sure its going to be fine for you but I feel more comfy at hotel/ hospital. Dr Garcia is $5000 for everything but airfare to SanDeiago. I think its worth the extra $500 for comfort and stability. But who am I to talk, I haven't gone yet Ask me in a month ..

My surgery is 8/7/12 with Dr. Garcia. So excited! Good for you I hope to hear all about it when you're done!!!!

I wish it was tomorrow.. at first when I was scheduling I didnt want to do it too quickly, now im wishing I had done it sooner lol impatient just a little

Is anybody having the spider method done

I don't even know what that is.

The spider is when they go in and make one incision to do the surgery to other way to to make about four incisions

I'm scheduled with Dr. Garcia on 7/30. Also travelling alone. Wish I could be with the two of you… Best wishes to both of you.

You too! I am fortunate to have my sister going with me.

I have not heard about the spider method either. I will be going by myself too. I did ask a friend yesterday and she was receptive to the idea but has to clear the time at work.. we will find out tomorrow. Crossing my fingers!!
