Hey Everyone, I am also going with Dr. Fernando Garcia, aiming for a Feb 2013 date as well. I have been speaking with him an his staff for over a week now and am pretty confident in my decision. BUT, I have to most likely go alone. Which I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to do that. SOOOO, I was hoping there would be someone(persons) that wouldn't mind "buddying" up through this process. I live in the Washington DC/ surrounding areas. So it would be lovely if someone from this area is considering him during the same time. But anywhere is okay I just don't wanna do this alone. If that's cool with anyone we can go through it ll together. If interested let me know what dates because I haven't scheduled yet. Maybe we can exchange contact info.

Hey Sade,

I am also going to be going alone...I don't want to, but I will. I am in school, so I plan on having my surgery during our Spring Break week (March 10).

If you wanna go in March we could be buddies! Lol I have to go during spring break, I have one other buddy as well, but the more the merrier!

We can be sleeve buddies! I am going in March during my Spring Break.

I am arriving on the 10th:) hope to meet you!

Yes me too... I'm excited

I am super excited. I had a appt. with my PCP today. I was very very nervous that she would turn her nose up at me. Well she was actually great about it. Gave me her okay and guaranteed her support. And when I told her I was considering Mexico. She didn't shoot down the idea. It isn't her first choice but she will support me regardless if the choice. She understands my struggle. Woot woot woot woot......

I actually just scheduled it yesterday. I'm so excited and nervous. I'm not really nervous about the surgery itself, but I'm nervous about finally being thin. I know it sounds crazy!

No - I understand - I feel the same way.

I am narrowing down on my date. Looking at the 9th for surgery.

I just moved my date up to the 16th.

I arrive on the 15th and my surgery is the 16th! I'll probably see you there!

I will be sleeved February 28, 2013 and I will arrive in Mexico on the 27th

Woot woot woot woot.... I got my date and flights booked. Arrival 2/4/13, surgery 2/5/13 and I don't have to go alone anymore. My god friend and her mom is going with me. I am super excited and nervous all at the same time.... Just wanna scream for fear and joy. My emotions are all over the place right now. But it'll be worth it in the end.... I still would like to be support buddies with you guys. Keep in touch etc.
