Wow! The support is almost overwhelming! I LOVE this site! I hope to have Dr Garcia Govea. I will relay your message! Thank you LadyBug, Ronnie & Roxann! I hope it's not too hard to get the time off work. It's going to kill me if I get the money saved up and they say time off is not easy or something that would postpone my sleeve...

You will be so glad you went with Dr. Garcia Govea. He is a gem! A real down to earth sweetheart! I received better care there than any hospital I have ever been in in the states! PLEASE tell him Rhonda sends her best (he will surely remember me)

Hi... I hope all goes well with your surgery! I had my surgery on Dec 9th and I am doing so much better. Don't stop if this is what you want. I will only say one thing is you can't eat much afterwards.. its a hard adjustment if you are use to eating a whole lot. I eat 2 teaspoons at each meal but am doing pretty good! Don't let anyone discurage you if this is what you want! I wish you all the luck!

Hi Mellisa, welcome to the site. I just had my sleeve surgery on Dec. 17th, still on full liquid diet, but I'd be glad to answer any questions if I can.

I start driving truck on Jan 3rd. I hope to save up enough money to have the sleeve paid for in full in just a few months.
