Ha! I will bring mace and a mean attitude' date=' look out. If you knew me, that would be super funny. I'm about as intimidating as a butterfly. But my cousin who is traveling with me ... don't mess. She's mean. And will never leave my side, especially now. Thank goodness.[/quote']

But that's the thing...people shouldnt think they need mace. If you went to a bar and a guy said you were pretty you dont mace them but u also dont sleep with them unless you have the maturity and want a booty call

I agree with everyone, Kristina, you are great! Please don't lose any sleep over this. You've handled yourself amazingly! You are very much respected.

I think it's an incredibly smart idea to take someone. I know a lot of people go alone and are fine but in my opinion there's always safety in pairs :)

I dont agree with everyone on here. Yes Kristina you were a good friend in the time she needed you but now when the worst happens you are pulling away. Real friends stick by them even when they are wrong. Blindsided is only human and we are made to make mistakes even if it hurts people you care about. She needs you to help her through this. And also if you wanted no part of what was going on you would not of let her or him pull you into the mess that took place. That is whats wrong with people no one stands up and continues to stand even if your loved ones or friends are wrong. I do have real friends, I could probably do something so stupid and each and everyone of them would be by my side no matter what, just like I am for them. Thats what friends do.

Seems to me that BS pulled away. Kristina shouldn't be made to feel guilty for protecting herself and her integrity. I have no doubt that Kristina would be there for BS if she needed her, but that said, she doesn't need to enable her in this ridiculous situation. You are bashing someone that doesn't deserve it.

Or sometimes you realize your friend is not who you thought they were and choose not to associate yourself with them anymore.

This doesn't change the fact that by all accounts Dr Garcia is an excellent surgeon.

Well... IMO Dr Garcia... who I also respected has lost my respect. He that surrounds themselves with the devil is no better. This is Dr. Garcia's chance to clear his name by saying adios to the looser... just saying

But there's really no proof.

Dr Garcia does not need to read this forum or listen to any of us. If he's been acting inappropriate over a period of time with patients... he knows, so do nurses, hotel staff. Its not a private world we live in. I will follow up next month when my hubby is back in TJ and see what actions Garcia has taken. He should be protecting his business and many... and I mean many have changed their surgeries from him to other surgeons. And I for one... like that. Sorry Garcia lovers... but this is his chance to make thing right. IMO

I must be really naive. Maybe that's a good thing.

Bowing out now.

All I know is with friends like some of you who in the hell needs enemies. If blindsided did lie ( which I really believe she didnt) so be it. But if she is telling the truth I feel for her, because she was used which is wrong. I hope and pray for all the stone throwers out there that you all are saints but doubt it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
