    It says there's less healing time & less pain - good for our long journey home. I'd prefer 1 incision spot to 4 , even if the scarring is minimal I have scaring around my areola from a reaction to sutchers from my reduction so would start feeling like bride of Frankenstein .. Also I don't particularly like my belly button (it's very deep) so a new one is just fine by me!

    i just bought aloe vera juice

    Can I ask why not enough of your stomach was removed? Did u want a slightly larger bougie (spelling?) or did the dr not do the proper procedure ? I'm asking because I'm a lower BMI and I was thinking of asking the dr not to give me a super tiny sleeve!

    Florance vs Mi hospital

    Haha yes I did think of that - no one has been to both lol ... *Nurses who speak English is a big bonus *beds I've heard a few times are very uncomfortable at Mi hospital *noisy because of street and construction also at Mi I just didn't realise I may of had an option where I go, till now. I thought that Mi hospital was where he worked out of - more decisions! Lol

    Prettynpink headed to Mexico!

    I've asked Alma if I wanted to, could I go there - you've made it sound very appealing! ... I've just put up a thread - thanks for your post!

    Prettynpink headed to Mexico!

    I'm with dr Garcia on May 11 ... So he must work out of a few hospitals? I'm going to Mi hospital ... Is the Florence one nicer? I guess it must just depend on which day you choose where he's working out of. Thanks for your play by play (I forwarded it to my dad) I like sending him all the great detailed posts so he knows that I will be safe and everyone is happy with choosing to go to Mexico. Glad you're doing so well!

    SURGERIES IN MAY!

    There are some very nice girls going for surgery may 11 ... I've heard everyone say that they are fine going alone as everyone is in the same boat & very friendly - don't worry too much. I know a lady who flew all the way from Australia by herself and she said she was %100 comfortable the whole time.

    At Mi Hospital!

    You are a 10/10 support person and your wife is a VERY lucky woman! Thanks for all the great updates. I've forwarded some onto my dad as he's worried about me traveling so far for surgery. So thank you again for the time you're taking to let us know what to expect! Rebecca

    Dr Garcia SPIDER TECHNIQUE

    Hi! Don't quote me but I think u have to be under 40 BMI and that's all I've heard. It's a trickier surgery (obviously) and takes longer so it's $1000 more - see you at the hotel in 5 ish weeks!

    Dr Garcia SPIDER TECHNIQUE

    I know! I was almost heading to cancun for mine .. It costs an extra $1000 but I'm happy to pay that as long as he's not "practising" on me lol ... Alma said he's done "like a hundred" but I'm just doing a little more investigating ????
  18. I'm going to start my own forum so people who can't stand me won't be annoyed by me any longer and people who get a kick out of my witty sarcastic banter can come along!! Lol
