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!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
