Thank you' date=' thank you, thank you!!! This is informatin I can use to make contact and get info from them! And hearing about wonderful experiences, as well as not so wonderful, helps me get a bigger picture! :)

How or where would I get a passport? I've never had one before.[/quote']

You can go to your local post office and get the form. Or just google passport and the link will come up and you can fill it out on line and print to mail. We were just there,and my cousin had no passport, just her drivers license and birth certificate, got through, no problem! So, unless you are planning on seeing other foreign countries in the next decade, id say save your money!

Dr Garcia's website is www.obesitysolutionsinternational.com

He is $5,000 in a hospital with Cardiology and ICU units

Alma (coordinator) - alma@ready4achange.com Phone - 210-745-1114

Melissa (Patient advocate at hospital) - melly@obesityintl.com

Dr. Garcia - drgarciagovea@hotmail.com

I have my passport already, but hubby has one that is expired (by a yr). We are not going to renew his as it cost just as much as a brand new one, he will just take his expired one (he's still the same person right?) and his Birth certificate and ID....I think it will be just fine!

Don't waste your money, you can get back with a drivers license. I had my D.L and certified birth certificate. Another wan only had the license and we crossed very easily nobody said a word.

We went through with birth certificates and drivers license as well. Another gal with us only had a drivers license. (This was a week 1/2 ago) nobody said anything. It was smooth....best wishes!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
