You people are KIDDING yourselves if you think that MONEY isnt the reason people actually go over the boarder. It is one of the deciding factors... It is hilarious to me when people say they wouldnt sacrifice their health but STILL manage to make it over to MX for surgery. One surgeron is just as good as the next and if you say money has nothing to do with it then I guess you wouldnt mind staying home and paying double or triple the price for the same thing? Where you may also get shittier care, and possibly staph because you are just as likely to catch it in a US hospital = D I CHOOSE ALmanza because of price and my ability to speak directly with so many happy people on this forum DIRECTLY about him. I am sick of seeing all the posts trying to make me and other like me feel bad because we cant shell out the extra 5000 to go somewhere else JUST BECAUSE people say it is better. I am not even paying for my surgery. My father has agreed to do so and contrary to popular belief, he doesnt want to shell out 10 or 15 thousand. I WILL NOT feel bad for paying less than anyone for my surgery. Call me naive or stupid or whatever. I am not saying that it is a brilliant decision but what I am saying is that I am not different THAN ANYONE shopping around for surgery. Everyone is guilty of wanting a cheaper price. ANd EVEN ONE of those stories?so are you saying that if you found out your surgeon had one leak or discrepancy you'd cancel your surgery. Probably not.

Yep I am definitely Vlogging this whole experience. I WISH someone would have done it ALL the way through so I could have watched, so that Is why I decided it would be a good idea...Not much on there yet but here is the link = D It isnt private or anything... YouTube - MyChunkyChannel's Channel

Lol Next Saturday is my night and I have decided to make it an easy night and just go to Outback or Olive Garden. You know some place that serves LOTS of carbs lol..I start my 3 day liquid diet next Sunday...Good luck

Awwe. Thanks Mary = D It is getting so close I can barely contain my excitement. This week it is going to be so hard to act like a normal person ...lol

I totally understand being upset...and it is scary...it really hasnt even hit me yet that I am going but Ill be all nervous and scared = /

Sandy what are you talking about? That whole post was by someone who hasnt even had surgery yet and has CHOSEN to go to Almanza. I too have chosen to go to Almanza but I must say that is the SECOND incorrect outburst in this thread hun. I understand you are passionate about your job and you don't want anyone bad mouthing, especially those that have not experienced it first hand but you are looking very defensive...and almost, accidentally I am sure, a little rude....You just have to take the time to really read these and respond logically...

Well then Looks like we southern ladies are going through this together = D

@jodoza The 15th or 16 of THIS month or next? The reason I ask is because I will be at EM on the 19th. Pwn is flying down with me = D I am doing a Vlog for the whole trip including recording my surgery (pwn is doing it cause i'll be knocked out) my trip down and back up and my recovery...If it is next month you cant watch on Youtube to get an idea of if it is something you would like to do or if it would help you decide the other way too. Best of luck either way Tiff

I am a crazy coke addict...I MEAN Coke-cola = D But It really is only for the caffeine..I don't see anything wrong with caffeine, so after the surgery I am just going to opt for modified sweet tea...Iced tea+splenda or stieva or a liquid sweetener +raspberry torani....hope it is good cause that is really the only ideas I have.....LOL

I am guessing that is how you spell it lol. Just wondering if anyone had it before surgery and how they lived with it after...Did it just go away or what? Did you see any increase or decrease in your THS levels? Could you take your meds right after surgery? How is it even possible for it to disappear...Someone smarter than me chime in.. Thanks = D

UGHHH WHY IS THIS POST EVEN STILL UP!... I have been trying so hard to ignore it but I get an email every 5 seconds with a new post. All this is now, is a mess. I mean, do any of you have a leak or problems with ANY of your surgeons? NO. I dont either. If we did, we should be talking about that AT the very LEAST. No one is, but yet this thread is FOUR PAGES long...HOW? People like me I guess = / YAY for posting off topic = D

I am scheduled oh 4/20...Yay for us, and really that article does sound right but it would be interesting to get other opinions = D
