Way to go! Can't wait until I'm on the losers bench! Only 62 days to go!!

Good luck to you! Check in when u can!

This thread makes me confident that I chose the right surgeon, thank you for sharing your experience and reassuring us all that we are doing the right thing! Good luck with your journey!

You look amazing! congrats on your loss!

$50-$200 depending on availability at the gate

If possible try and upgrade to first class, so much roomier! and you wont be squished in between two people. The seats are bigger and there is usually just one person beside you. I hate flying coach! although maybe that will change post op?!?!

Thank you!!

Yay!!!

June 14th with Dr Kelly in TIjuana Mexico! I can't wait, these next 91/2 weeks are not going to go fast, I can tell already!! But at least I have a sleeve sister! Excited to be on this journey with her!!

Thank you, I'm finally excited about doing this 100% All this time I was kinda scared and nervous but now happy that someone else will be there that I "know" lol sounds silly I know, but I'm super glad im not alone!

Thanks for all the great info, I did a little more research since ive been home and Im 99% sure I'll go with Dr Kelly. I even went as far as cancelling with Dr Garcia. Thanks everyone for your input and thoughts! Debly, we'll be sleeve sisters! yay!

Debly, I sent a message to DrKelly to see what the price difference was between him and dr garcia. Who knows, If I get an answer I like...We may be having surgery on the same day with the same dr!

Hmmm maybe I'll look into him...

How much is the difference between your surgeon and dr garcia? My sx will be $5000....excited to be in tj the same time as you, even if we won't be in the same place lol

I feel so alone in this journey :-( my husband is super supportive but he is leaving for work in two weeks and will be gone for 6months. My best friend lives in another state, my sister is thin so she can't relate to anything I say and when I do talk about it she acts like she really isn't interested, my mom died two years ago and I know she would be my main support if she was still here....anyone wanna be my text buddy? Or email? I just want someone I cant get excited with who can relate....ya know??? My surgery date is June 14th in Tijuana. 37 years old Married Mom to three...17,14 and 10 (boy,boy, girl) Work full time, veterinary technician goofycathy@yahoo.com Email me for my # to text :-)

Thank you everyone for the support! I really appreciate it, sometimes it's good to feel like you have soneone in your corner!

From the looks of things, I'll be traveling alone. My aunt wasnt able to get the time off of work and my husband will be long in Alaska by then, bummer!

Debly, Im thinking about flying out on the 13th and having surgery on the 14th or possibly taking a super early flight that puts me in San Diego at 9am and having surgery later that afternoon...I havent decided yet?!?!

Ugh, small hiccup in my plans. My aunt who was supposed to go with me to Mexico cant get the time off of work. Its totally understandable and im not angry or mad or anything but just a little more apprehensive about going alone. I REALLY REALLY wish my husband was going with me but by that time he'll be working in Alaska (he leaves april 18th). Im a tough girl and I dont fear going alone, just wish I had someone to be there for me when I wake up... Anyway....still looking for someone who will be in TJ the same time as me June 13th thru the 18th!

good luck! We have approx the same bmi and the same amount of weight to lose! The only difference is that I have to wait until the middle of june! Cant wait to hear how the surgery and recovery goes!

Good luck! excited to hear about your experience!

Hello, pretty new to this side of the board...had my heart set on the band and then watched how the weight just didnt come off for a friend of mine and then watched my cousin have the VSG and watched the lbs just literally melt off in months. Made my decision alot easier! Anyway, if all goes right, I will have surgery on June 14th. Was hoping to connect with other people having surgery on or about the same time! My support system right now is my husband, who is leaving in less than 1 month to go work in Alaska for 6 months :-( The only other family I have is my sister, who doesnt approve and my father who has other things on his plate to worry about. Really looking forward to finding friends to connect with....Im always down for a good text conversation, or email! Goood luck to everyone! :-)

There is no way you can miss that concert! Sounds like a blast!

May? wow, that is coming up soon, I bet you are super excited! I feel like June 14th is a million miles away! cant wait to hear all about your experience! June 9th! we'll be losers together, Ill just be a few days behind you! Cant wait to hear how it goes for you!

I'm so excited! I'm also going to Mexico, with Dr Garcia :-) yay!
