My experience was great. Everyone was so sweet. It was my birthday and everyone on my floor came to wish me a happy birthday. I recovered quickly. It was a lot simpler then I thought it would be.

I am going to mexico in one week and the only pre op thing I was told was stop my aspirin a week before and clear liquids for 5 days before. I have done a few things I read like no drinking during meals, eat slow tiny bites, drink a lot throughout the day. But I'm reading all these pre op diets and I'm worried.

I know they cut out that hormone but how come I crave EVERYTHING. And of course none of it is something I can have.

I'm having my surgery tuesday and my birthday is Wednesday so I feel ya

Thanks. My sx is Tues so ill have to pay the price to get it today.

I am on a clear liquid diet and need protein. Can I drink a shake or continue my glucerna?

Thanks for the encouragement everyone

I am leaving April 16 to INT Hospital in TJ. I will be staying at the lucerna after the sx. Anyone going my way. I would love to actually know someone there!

Thank you I'm going to check this out

That terrifies me

Thank you. I'm actually most worried about flying. I haven't flown in 20 years!

Thank you so much!

I heard from her!!

I fly out April 16 to Tijuana. That is the day before my 27 birthday. I had a stroke last year in august and decided it was time to live. I want children with my new husband and I want to live long enouhh to see my stepson graduate. I am scared. I am going alone because we can't afford for my husband to go. I am technically going with a group but I don't know anyone. My Dr is Dr. Jaime ponce de leon at the INT hospital. I don't know much about him. I did so much research but I still feel I'm lacking. My doctors here in Houston are all for it but there are a lot of negative feelings from family about mexico. I can't afford it here and I have to do something. Wish me luck!

No it isn't. I got ahold of another coordinator and she at least verified that my procedure is booked but I don't know about transportation or lodging

Dr jaime ponce de leon

My coordinator hasn't answered my emails or calls. I start my clear liquids tomorrow but some people are saying they started a diet 2 months ago.

How do I get ahold of trish

I don't know!! I don't know who to call and find out

I'm kind of panicking. I was reading on here that my coordinator Laurie Wolf may not have been a wise choice. She doesn't answer my emails and her phone just went to voicemail when I called 5 minutes ago. I paid her deposit but I don't know how to check and see if I'm even scheduled.
