Thanks for the advice! It just surprised me when I found that out, with the diet required both before & after I don't see how it was possible for her not to lose more. I didn't know if the surgery failed, or if that was a real possibility...

I can't wait to hear your report!

I also am seeing Dr. Garcia, my surgery is May 15th. Can't wait. Like you I've been denied by insurance twice (although it's been a long time, 2002 & 2006, don't currently have insurance). Decided I HAD to take matters into my own hands and here I am

Fatgirl (lol), I can't answer your question, but I am an RCA at the USPS and I've been asked to go back to work to sub about 10 days after my surgery... Not sure how I feel about that. They did tell me that they would help me load my car, but I just don't know if I'll be up to it or not. It's an 8.2 hour route & 125 miles of bumpy gravel. I have a high threshold for pain, and i'm definitely not a baby so hopefully I'll be fine. I read of another main carrier who is taking off 6-8 weeks!!!

Sounds like there will be a nice little group of us there then...

Yes, from what I understand, it's one during surgery then two more before you leave Mexico (within the next 4 days).

I am also being sleeved on May 15th by Dr. Garcia and will be staying at the Marriott. Are you guys with Dr. Garcia as well or a different doctor?
