Im still in Mexico going home to Missouri tomorrow. I had my sleeve done 9-13, friday with Dr Garcia. What a great experience I have had. I too came alone and I dont regret doing that at all. There is not anything here to be afraid of. Everyone from the second you walk off the plane has been so accomidating and friendly. The surgery went smoothly and Dr Garcia is wonderful. You will meet a lot of people floating around the hotel that is also having surgery at the same time with different companies. Fun to sit and talk with all of them while you enjoy your gross chicken broth or even groser popsicle.

You have made a wonderful decision and you will have no regrets. I promise. Let me know if any questions come up that you need answered. Best of luck to you on this amazing journey.

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. That is great you had a wonderful experience. How many nights were you there total between hospital and hotel?

I flew in Thursday night and stayed at the Marriott. Friday and Saturday night at Florence Hosp and finally Sunday and tonight at the Marriott. Go home tomorrow. So 5 total. Bring a swimming suit. You cant swim after surgery but you have 1 full day to yourself to relax in the warm sun.

There is also a business center in the lobby you can use to print off your boarding passes for your flight home.

I am also scheduled on the 28th with Dr. Garcia!

And I live in Florida too-Orlando!

Jean-Beans,

That is great!!! I was just in Orlando yesterday. I am there all the time. Are you going with anyone? I am going alone. I just booked my flight. Southwest coming in at around 2:00 on the 27th!!!
