Any other Dr. Garcia patients on July 5th?

I will be heading down on the 4th for surgery on the 5th with Dr. Fernando Garcia through Ready4achange...anyone else going to be down there, or at least at the Marriott? I am coming alone, I believe, which gives me a little apprehension, so I would love to be in touch with anyone else who will be down there at the same time. B)

I'm getting my Sleeve on July 4th with Dr. Garcia. Will be arriving on the 3rd and I will be at the Marriott. So If you need a buddy or someone to talk to, I'll be there :)

I will be staying at the Marriott. My surgery is 7/1 with Dr. A. Ortiz @ OCC. I haven't booked my flight yet... but should be staying until 7/4.

 

Best of Luck!

I'm having surgery on 7/3 with Dr. Garcia! I fly home on 7/6 so I'll be at the Marriott on 7/2 and 7/5. My name is Emily and my email address is eatorok@gmail.com for anyone who wants to get a hold of me while we are in Mexico!

I have surgery scheduled for June 14th with Dr. Garcia and am staying at the Marriott! I will make sure to let everyone know exactly how it goes :)

I'm also having surgery at OCC on the 1st and I'll still be at the Marriott on the 4th so maybe I'll see you there!

Yay July Sleevers! We can high five in the halls of the clinic or hotel as we're walking off our gas pains. Party in my room!! Oh wait. I forgot it's not spring break in Mexico. ;)

My email address is sophia.m.ponton@gmail.com if anyone would like to stay in touch. My Surgery date is July 4th with Dr. Garcia. I'll be staying at the Marriott. I have exactly one month! I'm so excited :)

I will be at Florence/Marriott July 12 thru 17. Surgery with Garcia on the 12th.

Well... plans have changed and my date is now July 1!!!!! It works out better for my work schedule and it's 2 days sooner! I fly out on June 30! OMG that is this month!!!

Yeaaa! Congrats! Same day! :)

Is the OCC the same as Florence Hospital? I will be getting sleeved at Florence on the 5th with Dr. Kelly.

 

OCC is the Obesity Control Center with Dr Ortiz.

I'll be checking into Florence right about when you're checking out! :) Wishing you lots of luck. I thought it seemed possibly too soon when I committed and booked it, but now it feels like time is dragging! Ready to get to the other side and and start this interesting journey.
