New Here, And Getting Sleeved In About Three Weeks! Very Nervous. Any Advice?

Hi my name is Jaclyn, I am a 24 year old hairstylist in Florida. I am getting sleeved on September 24th, 2012 and I am nervous as hell! I have never had a surgery before, and I have never thought to fly out to Mexico to get one done... But I am. I have an appointment with Dr. Fernando Garcia. Anyone had surgery done by him? Did everything go well? Did you feel safe while you were there? Hospital clean? Nurses? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am definetley looking forward to my journey. I am tired of not feeling comfortable in my own body. It is time for me to think about myself for a change, I deserve it! Everyones' stories on here are always an inspiration to me! Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you guys!
