I just put down my deposit for July 4th! I will be going alone, is there anyone else that will be there at the same time?

Hi! I'm scheduled for July 6th with Dr. Illan. I am wanting to go alone but my husband and mother are freaking out about that so I assume one of them will end up going with me. I'm nervous for the countdown but super excite for the life change!

I'm scheduled for July 6th and will be going alone. Deposit paid and flights booked! I really struggled with the decision... but with the endless research I did... both common sense and my gut told me Dr. Illan is the one for me. ?

I'm in the same boat Carmella!! Lots of research put in; I feel like I could give public speeches on the procedure. I look forward to seeing you there!

Haha! Tell me about it.... I've been obsessed! I' m glad at least one other person is confirmed for that day... we shall walk the halls together post op. ??

So glad that you guys replied! I too put in a lot of research. I am nervous and as the date is quickly approaching, I am getting more and more excited/anxious. I just came to the point where I knew that I had to do something and the more research that I did....the more I knew that this is what I had to do and just had a "feeling". I am hoping that you guys know what I mean. I feel like I sounded crazy when I tried to explain this to my family.

Samantha, I had the same feeling. I'm still dealing with my family's "feelings" about this. I have good support from others that have already had one done; some in the U.S. and some in Mexico.

I am confirmed for July 7th with Dr. Illan!!

We'll see you there!!

I can't believe how quickly time is starting to tick away. I start my liquid diet the 27th and my birthday is the 28th *womp womp* BUT wine is liquid, so I think I will have a glass of that rather than some cake

My surgery is July 5th with Dr Ariel Ortiz. I'm flying down alone on July 4th. I've been on Pre-op liquid for a week already. Protein drinks and green salads. I just want the 5th to be here!!!
