What is the pricing for Dr. Garcia? Also what are the airports people are using besides San Diego?

The cheapest airline tickets I found was through United Airlines. Just go to every airline website and enter the dates in and they will quote you a price. :)

Kayak.com is great about pricing the major airlines. Southwest and frontier do not come up in their searches so you have to do them separately.

Dr. Garcia is $4700 and is all inclusive of 3 total nights at the marriott and two nights in the hospital..all things are covered except for air fare...they do charge this price for all BMIs up to 50 and then do a step increase after that for up to and over 70bmi. Airfare to San Diego depends on when you buy...i bought with in a month or so of the surgery and during the summer monthes, so was higher, about $400...on expedia.com....that is the airport everyone uses though...I'm actually here right now waiting for my procedure to begin! :) Good luck~

I bought thru Southwest.com and only paid $98 each way flying from Salt Lake City to San Diego. I'm pretty sure there isn't any other airport they use, because your driver will pick you up and drive you across the border. Completely safe!!

I head they have better rates if you book on Tuesdays, don't know if that's true but worth a look! Do you need a passport for Mexico or is the birth certificate & valid ID still work!?

Update....Southwest is in fact cheaper on Tuesdays. I looked into booking airfare last Thursday because I need my itinerary for surgery date confirmation & looked from Sacramento to San Diego & it was $165 one way & decided to wait to check today & tada it's only $98 each way, would think since its only an hour and half flight it would be cheaper!

      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.
