    Tim H. replied to GrannyGoes4it's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    : rollseyes: ?

    Tim H. posted a topic in Rants & Raves

    Okay, I've just got to ask, what does this mean when I see it in posts? I work around teenagers all day, so when I see the term "rollseyes" I automatically think it's a term of annoyance and disrespect. But, I've been seeing people use it quite often around here. And I can't quite figure out the context.

    Hey all, I'm having my surgery on the 18th too. I'm glad to find the support here. Okieathart, I'm also from Oklahoma, but I'm traveling to Mexico for my surgery. Today is the second day of my preop diet. It hasn't been too bad so far. There was a surprise party with cupcakes at work today, and I survived without cheating. I can do this!

    Okay. I have this app on my phone, and I guess the emoticons just don't show up. So, I'm glad you explained (and the wacko too). There for a while I was thinking there were some really rude people around here. Haha

    Dr. Garcia March 18th

    Tim H. replied to atlsleevegirl's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    Hey, I'm getting sleeved with Dr. Garcia on the 18th, too. I just started my pre-op today. I'm sure we'll see each other there. A friend of mine, who doesn't post here, will also be sleeved on that day. Nice to meet you; my name's Tim.

    Any March Sleevers?

    Tim H. replied to futuresleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm starting my two-week pre-op tomorrow. Hopefully I can stick with it and lose 10-15 lbs along the way.

    You should check it out sometime. It's one of my favorite childhood movies.

    Cold 8 days pre op.

    Tim H. replied to schavez2010's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    My surgery is two weeks from tomorrow with Dr. Garcia. Yesterday I also came down with a terrible cold. Fever, chills, headache, chest congestion. I'm hoping it clears up.

    Nice

    For Dr. Garcia's pre op diet, can I mix the protein shakes with skim milk or almond milk?

    Any March Sleevers?

    Tim H. replied to futuresleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My surgery is March 18th. Not looking forward to the pre op diet So ready for a change, though.
  13. Tim H.
    What a great report. Thanks for the details. I'll be in your shoes in about two and a half weeks. *excited* I hope the rest of your recovery goes well.
  14. Tim H.
    I can't answer for everyone, but for me the reason I'm going to Mexico is because my insurance would not cover the procedure in the US, so I have to self pay. $5000 in Mexico vs $20000 in the US is the main reason. Having said that, after looking into Mexico, I'm very excited about the surgeon who will be performing my procedure. I'm more comfortable with him than I was with the surgeon I was seeing in the US.

    Thanks oklafarmgal. My name is Tim, by the way. I'm looking forward to this next chapter in my life.
  17. Tim H.
    Thank you for sharing all the details. I love reading the good, the bad, and everything in-between. I'll be having my surgery at Mi Doctor in a couple weeks.
  18. Tim H.
    Alma and Ready4aChange are legit. I'll be having my surgery with doctor Garcia on March 18th. If you go back to the main page of this site and look all the way down near the bottom, there's a whole subforum about self pay and surgery in Mexico. It may answer some of your questions.

    Hi everyone. I live in Mcalester. I met with Dr. Kirk at Bailey back in the fall. Then before Christmas, my insurance turned me down. But, my mind was made up by that point that I wanted the surgery. Since I'm now self-pay, I've decided to go to Mexico. I'll be having my surgery in three weeks with Dr. Garcia.

    ON THE WAY HOME.....SLEEVED!

    Tim H. replied to Diamondeyed's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    Awesome news. Happy for you. I'm counting down the days
  24. Tim H.
    Seems like a good deal, so I just bought some too. But, even with my Prime membership, the estimated delievery date isn't until March 15th. That's just a couple days before my surgery.

    Intro and thanks......

    Tim H. replied to pantala's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    I also chose Dr. Garcia because if the great things I read on this message board. I'll be sleeved in mid-March. It's nice to talk to some of you and read so many peoples stories. It's comforting...like a little family.
