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.

If you are in Houston' date=' 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.[/quote']

I am! I live in Katy. N that would be awesome

Feb. 15th!!!!!! Dr. Garcia' date=' ready to lose!!!!!!!!! Extremely excited![/quote']

You decided!! I'm HOPING for the 15th but it will probably be a week later.

My surgery date has been changed from feb 8 to feb 26th. Anyone else on the 26th with Dr. Garcia?

I am on the 27th

I was trying to figure out how to pay my remaining balance. I am scared if I get a money order or something it will get lost... Probably my nerves.

That's great only issue with that for me is I don't have time to deposit it. So I'm just getting a Cashier check and I'll fill the rest out later. To insure it doesn't get lost ima keeping it in my pocket.

That's reasonable. I'm a little nervous about that too. That's y I kinda want to use my credit cards but I don't want to pay the service fee because I'm using more then on card. Plus I don't want that much in credit.

R4AC... I think I would rather do that. I am going to email my coordinator to get that information.

Thanks

I know! I just don't want anything going wrong... I don't have a Wells Fargo here, but I will just have to drive to one. I just don't feel comfortable carrying a check for that amount around. I get there at 9...it came by sooo fast!

How has your preop diet been. This full liquid might kick my tail!

It's doing okay I have little struggles here and there. But it turns out we weren't required to do a full liquid. Our paperwork says Protein shake for breakfast and lunch and a salad for dinner. I double checked with Alma days after starting and she said I didn't have to do full liquids. Just follow the plan and the day before surgery clear liquids with nothing to eat after mid night. I was so frustrated with that but decided to stick with the liquids it's not going to hurt anything.

I thought 3 days of clear liquids and laxative before the surgery.. But I do plan on having a last meal before surgery lol I've read that it doesn't hurt anything.
