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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
