Anyone having surgery with Dr. Garcia in TJ last week of October?

[gretchen_e 4]

Hi y'all! I'm trying to get my ducks in a row for surgery in TJ with Dr. Garcia, and am hoping to have it done either October 25th or 26th. I need to confirm dates with Alma, but it looks like that is the best window of time to take a few weeks off work. The hubby said he would go when I first decided to have surgery, but is now being a bit of an a**hat and so it looks like I'll be going solo. Would sure like to meet some sleeve buddies to share this journey with me! :-)

I went there solo at the end of July to have mine done and did just fine. The only real reason I wish that hubby had gone with me was to help with the little things in the hospital room (2 days) that I didn't want to call a nurse for. Examples: I wanted to send out emails but couldn't handle getting my computer out; I dropped my hairbrush on the floor; my drain bag sprung a leak and made a mess of everything; etc.

 

Although we decided together that I should go alone (we were on a very tight budget) since I've been home I've discovered that he was the one who suffered more while I was gone. I had no idea until recently how much he worried about me while I was gone. :-)

 

If you need to go by yourself, then do...you can handle this! Sending good thoughts your way and wishing you good luck on your journey.

I highly recommend taking someone. I needed help getting into and out bed, even. You will probably be sore and uncomfortable and the extra hands are good.

Hi Gretchen_e, I am hoping for the same dates as you, I sent in my medical questionnaire to Alma over a week ago and still haven't heard back yet. Also waiting for an insurance payout for final funding. Where are you from? I live in Las Vegas.

I would suggest you resend your email to Alma. I had sent her an email that she hadn't responded to so I emailed her again a couple days ago and she had overlooked it. Her office had flooded so I think she was distracted with that. Once I sent the follow up email she had responded fairly quickly.
