@amandaraeleo I now totally understand now seeing it from that perspective, I'm new to this forum, so I wasn't aware of ppl selling doctors or coordinators posing fraudulently thank you for another perspective!!!!! Trust me I am a real person my surgery is scheduled on Jan 11, 2013, my nerves and anxiety level are all over the place. I have learned a great deal of knowledge from this forum, so I was just trying to pass on what I learned, but now I will be cautious in my posting.

Thank you for the advice and helping me see things from a different perspective, I understand totally now

This is a public forum but we still have rules our members must abide by. I understand your intent might not have been to promote or advertise your surgeon but you have to understand how it appears to everyone else.

You posted (and re-posted) the same contact and sales info about your surgeon, in multiple forums.

This is clearly not allowed according to our posted Forum Rules.

Thanks for your cooperation!

I just went alone last week and was sleeved by Aceves. I felt comfortable the whole time. I met a fellow sleever in the shuttle from the airport to the hospital' date=' had my "last meal" with them at the hotel, and we were always checking in on each other in our rooms. I never felt alone and was grateful to them for the companionship! I think you will have a similar experience and will definitely run into fellow sleevers while doing your walking in the hospital. You will be fine![/quote']

So were you able to eat a real meal before surgery?

Yes! We could go eat whatever we wanted and have no more than 2 drinks. We went to an italian restaurant inside the hotel we stayed at and I ordered a margherita pizza. I must say that I was so tired and nervous that my tummy was in knots and I could barely finish one piece. I took it "to go" and ate a couple more pieces a few hours later. I forced myself to eat something since I had been fasting for the pre-op tests. I gave the rest to the traveling companions of a fellow sleever.

I travel to Cancun Alone all the time!!! ( for Pleasure) So for my Surgery I traveled to PV alone and I had Dr. Garcia also........as far as traveling alone it really wasn't a problem but if I could make a suggestion......If you go to Obesity Guadalajara Facebook Page that is Dr Garcia's Page and book directly thru them.......There was alot of misinformation that I received from Ready4Change....Booking right thru Dr. Garcia you get info first hand

I too am going alone in Feb. My husband wants to go but it will be difficult for him to get enough time off to accompany me, I just don't want to put it off again. I'm ready to get it over with already! I pray all will be well, I have a friend that went to Dr. Almanza and she went alone. She insists that I should go alone to avoid having to entertain a guest, more time for recovery she says. I'm nervous because I've never been out of the country before and to go alone at that! I too am using Dr. Garcia and r4ac.

When is your Surgery? I am looking to book mine soon and trying to find someone to buddy up with who is also going alone. The thought of going alone scares me HAHA

I am going alone March 22 to Garcia thru Ready4Achange and I am so excited... Figuring out flights is a pain! (Huge expense to figure into budget for times needed) Does anyone know if MiHospital has WiFi?

I believe they do. I use Priceline and sign up sp they can alert you when the price drops.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
