EMSJen 6 Posted April 25, 2013 I went to dr. Garcia in mexico... demonstrates our awesome health care system here in the US.. I live litterally behind north cypress hospital and am a paramedic, yet I don't even have the option of getting health insurance so everything has been out of poket. I am not sure about a meet up group but I'd definately be interested if people are looking to start one. Keep me posted! Denn, who is your surgeon? I went to Tijuana, it was definately an awesome experience!!! Pm me your email if u want to join a mexico sleevers group on fb 2 Francgutierrez and TxBritt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EMSJen 6 Posted April 25, 2013 the sx was 4700 but i had to pay 500 extra because of a surgery for GERD i had 15 yrs ago that he had to undo.. so $5200 + airfare.

Carole Flower 22 Posted July 14, 2013 Hi, I had my VS on April 4, 2013 and I can now say "I love my sleeve!" Every day is wonderful and then again not. Right now it’s a day by day process. I'm still trying to find out what works for me as far as scheduling my meals and Snacks. I have found, if I drink something in the AM before I eat Breakfast. It throws everything out of whack. I eat breakfast and have my Protein Drink later in the morning. I'm still not eating that much but I do get my Protein in, fluids intake daily and my Vitamins. This is the most important thing to do for me. I have not really started to exercise. It's on my list of things to do tomorrow. I have lost 60 lbs. My mother is 86 and I hope I will be around at least that long.If I can do this you can too I had my VS in Sugarland.
