The point is all the doctors you listed are very good. You will get excellent care from all of them. I personally chose Dr. Garcia and my surgery is scheduled on Monday. I am so excited. You have to choose a doctor that makes you ready to have surgery. All of them are excellent and have great reviews, you cannot go wrong no matter who you choose. With that said it has to be your decision and no one elses do not let anyone sway you. Just look at the facts about each one and go with who your heart and gut tells you too and you will not go wrong. Good luck I am sure you will make a great decision.

I am with FatGirlSlim I just want to be a loser sooooo bad . This is the only forum that we are aloud to call ourselves a loser lol.

I am so happy for you! I will be following you shortly but mine is with Dr. Garcia. I will be in Tijuana on Sunday and surgery Monday! My prayers are with you and cannot wait to share our tale of WLS!

I will let you know how my experience goes on Monday. We are driving so we leave Saturday morning. I cannot wait!

I just watched your videos and I really enjoyed them! Good job we need all the info and support we can get.

I have heard a lot of people talk about the fact they went alone and were fine. I would not feel comfortable going alone just because I would want someone to talk too but I would go alone if I had too just to get the surgery.

Thank you. I am scheduled with Dr. Garcia on May 7th. I am so excited/nervous!

I also went through alighterme.com and am dealing with Linda and Sandy. They are great and wonderful with all the questions I have had. They contact me the same day when I email or call. The process is very easy and understandable. Good luck. The price is very reasonable also. I will sleeved on May 7th with Dr. Garcia.

I will there May 7th with Dr. Garcia! We are driving from Oklahoma. I also have a friend coming from Alabama but she is going to Dr. Almanza on the same day. I will be with my husband but will be more than happy to be your sleeve buddy.

Yeah I called it food funerals. It was kind of liberating though because I could actually eat something without the guilt behind it. Then it just became to much then I still felt guilty.

I am going to be starting my preop diet on Monday. I have surgery on May 7th with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I am starving all the time and it gets worse the closer I get to my preop diet day. Did anyone feel like they had to eat everything they see or think of before their surgery. This is ridiculous and it is starting to make me extremely mad at myself. I am eating until I am miserable anything and everything. My husband thinks I have lost my mind lol. So someone tell me have I lost my mind or this normal for the pre vsg patient?

How much was it to fly because we are driving and it was way cheaper than flying from Oklahoma

Thanks everyone.

I started my preop yesterday. It is not very fun lol.

Although price is an important factor with limited funds I totally agree with Finding myself you need to go with whoever you get the best gut feeling with. Do not go by price or who you should use according to someone else. Everybody has to make this personal experience for themselves and be at peace with it. Follow your heart after you have gathered all the info and checked your finances go with whom you feel will change your life for the better.

I am using a lighter me for Dr. Garcia. The price includes a hotel night stay before surgery, 2 days hospital stay in a private room with a bed for your guest, 2 more nights in hotel after surgery. I have never been told something false from the coordinators. I do not know what is going on there but they have been easy to work with answered all my questions. They are willing to do basically anything I have asked. So no problems here with alighterme. com. I am VERY happy with my decision to use Dr. Garcia and he is also cheaper. The price of $4500 is only good on the week of May 14th and June 11th otherwise I am paying $5000 for everything.

I am with you. It is time for me to make decisions for me and not worry what anyone else thinks. Its my life, my mirror l look in everyday, my clothes I try to shop for and my problem. So I will fix it and surgery is my new saving grace. Amen our new life is coming.

I guess I didn't read far enough before asking if your taking your antacids lol. I have heard of people taking more than one type and more than one dose also per day to control it. I hope you get some relief.

Are you taking any antacids? Products like prevacid or nexium will cause the acid in the stomach to calm down and the hunger pains will subside. You can buy antacids like prevacid or prilosec OTC. This should help.

That is what we did. They double check everything and make sure the photo is the right size. Its great. The post office is the place to do it all.

I would definitely exchange or refund the unopended products. Sams should take back your tubs of protein and you can exchange them for things you need.

Wow that is scary. I do not want to be hungry and starving after surgery. I hope the wanting feeling goes away. That would be pure hell to be so hungry. I am so glad you are doing well now though. Good luck with the weight loss and I hope it keeps falling off.

Some people act like an idiot out of fear especially men it seems because they do not know how to handle this emotion as well as we do. I am proud of you for doing this as well as myself. This is our new start and everyone on this forum is behind you and will cheer you on. I feel like this is one big family and we disagree sometimes but we are always there to pick someone up that needs it. Congratulations on us making the best decision of our lives. I am praying for the doubters and people that just do not understand. What is your youtube channel name?

I thought about buying it but haven't yet. Where did you get it?

My preop diet is 2 weeks long. The last 3 days are clear liquids.
