Today is my BIG day

I am up early. I live in SD and have decied to drive to the border park my car, walk into TJ and catch a cab to MI doctor hospital. Having surgery with Dr. Garcia. My best friend and my Mom were sleeved 2 years ago with Dr. Vamboonen. I was there for both. I chose Dr. Garcia because of all your comments and my experience as a guest for the other sleeves I went to on TJ. I will keep everyone posted. Right now im starving! Gonna get my babies off to school then I am on the road! Food doesnt taste as good as it feels to be thin and I am ready to be on the loser bench with all of you.
