    Sleeve: The UNTOLD Story

    I had Dr. Garcia and my experience wasn't like that either. My coordinators were available at the drop of a hat, I was in surgery within 2 hours of getting to my room, and no naked folks in plain view. I'm sorry that was the experience you had.

    DiamondEyed and Vintage_Starlet

    I've been the most sore today (day 3). The heart burn has kicked in, but is easily taken care of with zantac. I have no regrets. I'm already down 5lbs from surgery day. I went to full liquids today. I was able to do yogurt, but it sat heavy on my stomach for a while so I may hold off on that for a while. Life is good and it's just going to get better!
  3. Diamondeyed and I are in Tijuana and doing great. I had my surgery earlier yesterday and she had hers last night. Everyone here at Mi Doctor is wonderful! Dr. Garcia has done a wonderful job! Diamond wanted me to help send a update for her because her phone isn't working that well here. I will try to post more details a bit later, but did want to make a quick update saying we are both well and sitting on the losers bench!
  4. Diamondeyed, I spoke with Rosie and for Saturday it's you, me, and a married couple. So there will only be 4 surgeries that day. She didn't know the order yet.

    TWO DAYS, THEN ON THE LOSERS BENCH!

    I'm calling rosie today to go over a few things. You are the day before me. I think I'm more nervous about making sure i do everything right at the airport than i am the surgery.

    Insomnia again!

    I think I'm mostly concerned with what to pack clothing wise.

    Diamondeyed, I'm getting sleeved on the 16th and flying in the the 15th. I'll probably run into you there!
  9. I am on day one of my pre op diet for Dr. Fernando Garcia. I just want to be honest right now and say.....I HATE THIS! I know I can do it, but I don't like it and I feel a bit like a child who has had their toy taken away. I never realized how completely addicted I am to food until now.

    Holy Cow, Booking the Flights Now!

    I had done everything, but book my flights and I did that tonight. It made me a nervous wreck! It definitely made it feel more real. This is really happening!
  11. Tessie! I am having surgery with Dr. Garcia on the 16th as well! I hope to see you there! Gorgeous picture btw!
  12. I arrive on the 15th and my surgery is the 16th! I'll probably see you there!

    Fun And Maybe Some Laughs

    I won't miss wearing layers and layers of spanx just to smooth everything out. I won't miss being out of breathe when I go up and down our stairs. I won't miss feeling like I'm stuck in a giant shell that isn't me. I look forward to the day I hear, YOU are pretty instead of "you have such a pretty face!" I look forward to being able to keep up with my children. I look forward to not being a "new" me, but being ME.
