Dr Garcia January 25th

I am thinking of booking January 25th with dr. F Garcia. Anyone else going at that time? I think I will be going alone so it would be great to meet others going at the same time.

I'm so scared to actually put my deposit down though. It's scary to go to another country for surgery.

I will probably be gone by then. :( I'm only staying the two days in the hospital and not going to the hotel afterwards.

I'm thinking of putting my deposit, but am still trying to figure out the day to schedule because of work. Will they allow you to leave upon discharge from the hospital?

Yes, but they said its only because I live in San Diego and could go back easily if I need to.

Congratulations Lulu on your decision. You won't be disappointed. I had my surgery on Sept 10th and have lost to date 62 pounds. You will meet others at the hotel don't worry about being there alone.

Where is all of your stuff when you are in surgery? Do you have to leave it in the hospital room? I was thinking about this the other night. My suitcase will have my phone, passport, money, all that junk in it.

Yes all your stuff is in your room. They will lock up your wallet but be careful we all seem to have $20.00 taken from it.

I'm glad my mom will be there and my sis. I can ask them to keep an eye on your stuff too. It's up to you.

Awww! Thank you so much! I may have someone coming with me, but that's not 100% yet. I sure hope so because I really don't want to go alone. Even though you will be there too!! :)
