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.

3 weeks until we are in Tijuana! Time is going by soooo fast! Are you ready to start the preop diet? I went to GNC yesterday and got some shakes and vitamins and other things.

Looks like I won't be able to go until February 18 now. Stupid Fiscal Cliff delayed filing returns till the 30th n that's how I'm paying for my surgery.

So I'll be behind u guys a couple weeks after

I am going this Friday i think I'm going to try to imitate optifast. Which is pretty much all liquid. Dr. Garcia just has us drinking to shakes and one meal.

Medifast is similar and a little cheaper

I don't know why I thought it said all liquids for 2 weeks, I will have to go and re-read that paperwork.

Me too.

If you are in Houston, we'll have to get together some time... It would be good to have someone to chat and hangout with who's going through this as well.
