Anyone going to Dr. Fernando Garcia between May 6 and May 11?

Just wondering if anyone else will be going to Dr. Fernando Garcia during the week of May 6 to May 11. My surgery is on May 6 at Florence Hospital. Just want to meet up with others having their's the same time to share experiences.

I would be keen for our own little group for people having surgery within a few days... Then we can specifically ask how their progress is going and make sure we are all healing well?

I would prefer you create a group outside of the 2013 Mexico Sleevers. Thanks!

Ok. I can surely do that too!

will you be staying at the Marriott like the rest of us? I would imagine that you will be released to the hotel on the same night I fly in (the 9th).

 

It might be good if we all PM each other our first/last names and phone numbers so we can check on each other for support. I am guessing if I tell the Marriott "I am looking for 1hotmomma" they will think I have lost my mind. LOL

We could provide that information on our on FB Group.

Add me when you start the group..May 10.. deposit paid..plane tickets booked.. and butterflies in my stomach..dantonicabowers@yahoo.com

let me know when it is up and running. Not going to hand out my email and I am not searchable on FB due to my IT job. so someone will have to work with me on this.

I am not doing the spider. Not because of cost, but primarily because from my lapband surgery, you cannot even see the incisions that were there after a year. It is just not important to me, but totally understand everyone else wanting to do it.

I saved this article from yesterday as I have had this happen. 30 minutes in TJ without realizing I had not turned off my data package. $200 later.

I could have bought a great pair of shoes in 30 minutes. :unsure:

I wanna pipe in here and say that you guys will not be disappointed with dr. Garcia.

Don't forget to ask for pics!! I got pics of my actual sleeve, the stapling while it was happening, and the portion they took out.

I'd add it but I'm afraid some might not want to see.

Eek. Sorry to anyone that saw the "rough draft". It was a mess.

I will take the action item to work on the group.

You know I will take care of you :-)
