Tijuana, here I come!

Oh Happy Day!

I just got off the phone with my OCC coordinator, Carolyn, and have booked my date to be banded. I'm going to TJ on July 20th for pre-ops, and surgery will be on the 21st. I will be staying at the Marriott and most likely going by myself. Carolyn says about a third of the patients come alone and it is no problem. They pick you up on the U.S. side and escort you everywhere, so I'm not worried.

Just wanted to share my exitement!

Best of Luck!

Thanks guys! I'm going to journal everything and will definitely take many photos. Funny, I typically HATE photos of myself for obvious reasons. They make me feel bad. But now I'm anxious to record through photos, all the weight that someday isn't going to be there anymore. I just received all my paperwork and will go fill it all out, knowing that in 3 short weeks, I will be driving down to Mexico and starting a new life. How GREAT is that??????????? >
