I'm going in October and would love to go with or talk to someone who is going in this time frame! My contact is kristi who is setting it all up. I believe that's her name. The doctor I've chosen is a lady, Doctor Valenzuela. If anyone can share anything to calm my nerves. Thank you,,,,Deborah.

I'm going to have my sleeve first week in October. Anyone else going then. I'd love to journey this with someone. I'm freaking out already.

Why four weeks. Can I ask what you're drinking for drinks? And how many per day? So, you get nothing solid?? Only Protein drinks. I'm wondering what kind because I need to do one week of Protein Drinks and need to know which kind to get. Any suggestions. And how many can I drink per day?

I'm starting this blog for myself, and If anyone wants to reply, give me some advise, or just say hello I can use the encouragement. I'm off to Mexico soon (I hope) I was thinking first week of October, then said if I don't do it sooner I will chicken out. I've read the horror stories, and I've read the success stories, and I'm praying to be a success story. I've battled my weight most of my adult life and I'm done being stuck in this body that doesn't allow me freedom. I've been think, I've been fat, and I've been obese.... I think I've heard about a million diets, and I know for a fact I've tried them all.... people will always offer advise on how to lose the weight, my answer to them is simple I know how to lose the weight,, I've done it one thousand times, it's keeping it off that I have trouble with. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I say to myself "you don't look over 220 lbs (I'm 221 as of this morning) however, yesterday I went to get a temporary pass to get on the air base, and when she took my pictures I didn't know who was staring back at me... It was at that moment when I walked to my car, crying, I was going through with the surgery. I have saved, sold things, and am getting an extra job for three weeks to pay for the rest. Anything has to be better than living in this hell, and never going out, doing anything and avoiding as many people as possible.... I'm done,,,, I am going to be happy and live life again........ (I will post the pic that was taken of me on base yesterday) even if no one reads this blog, I will keep it for me, as i'm going to Mexico alone (I hope to meet some new friends when I arrive in San diego airport) So, one day, I'll sit my adult girls down and let them read this blog....... because come one.... if I told my girls, mother, or sisters and friends. HEY, I've decided to fly into san diego, drive across the boarder with a stranger, who will take me to a hotel in a country I've never been to, and lets face it has not got a good rep. here in the USA... and then I'll meet with my Doctor the day before, do some pre-op, and yes, I shall have surgery the next day,,,,, THEY"D lock me up~~~

Get the hell out!!!! You look great!

Oops auto correct. I've read so many profiles.

I work on an Air Force base for child development. Surgery scheduled for first week of October.

Thank you so much. I'm so scared and anxious. I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. I have decided on doctor Fernando Garcia. Sending deposit and booking surgery first week of October. Yay

I'm thinking garcia too.

Thanks for sharing. I will stock up on sugar free puddings and ice pops. Any other suggestions. I heard Walmart has some great Protein shakes. I need help on which proton shakes to buy. I'd like to get them pre made. Any suggestions ?

What a nice story. Glad everything turned out for you!!! Post pics of your weight loss. Kudos to you.

HELP! I'm at a huge loss. I'm trying to narrow down as to whom to choose for a Doctor. Two to three hundred dollar difference is not a big deal. I'm wondering of anyone can tell me who to lean towards. I'm scares enough and want this all over and happily sitting at home @sigh@

Another thing. We can use out cell phones in Mexico? In the hospital?

Ca_medic who was your doctor???
