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.

Houston here going on February 4!! Sade n I r sleeve buddies! Luv to meet more that r going the same days as us!!

I'll be sleeved on the 16th with Dr.Garcia. Wish I could have gone earlier.. but I have a two year old at home and have to fly my mom in from Florida to watch him while im gone... anyway I am sooo excited that I can't sleep or think about anything else... I am also eating more than usual.. feeling anxious and I eat. Is anyone else experiencing this as your surg date gets closer?

That's good. My boyfriend doesn't want me to go alone, but if someone goes with me I will be responsible for their ticket and meals. Still trying to convince him that I will be okay.

With the package deal her transport to and from Mexico and lodging is on me so she was okay with paying her own flight. ...I understand ur BF being scared my mom was. My plan was to try and really get to know you all so ill be comfortable going alone meeting ppl their.
