Whaddup, fellow Octosleevers! Just wanted to let the Mexico peeps know that I started a new thread called MEXICO OCTOSLEEVERS! I'd like to compile a list of sleevers going to Mexico to have their surgeries. It is so great to be in contact with others in the same sitch, and I heard from other MEXICO people that they wanted to know who, if anyone, they'd be in the hospital or hotel with. Its in the SELF PAY/Mexico section, and I just started it, so add your name if you're going to Mexico! Good luck to everyone. I cannot believe October is right around the corner...good vibes to all

October 24
