Your a blessing lady. Gotta run out but wii reach out to you tomorrow.

Sorry yes I have someone accompanying me, I going alone but my friend got some time off from work to go with me.

What was your coordinator name at Florence Hospital? What is your first name? Was your surgery on the 19th of December?

Also on the pre op diet, what was your total protein and carb intake for the day?

Nice to hear from you ky89, I don't have a Facebook account. I don't know that many people. Lol. I was paranoid again....I have a question for you. I paid my $250.00 through pay pal, after re-reading the paperwork they seem to want a cashiers check made out to him. Did you do that for the remaining balance? I don't feel comfortable sending it to his bank account. Can you give me an idea about your diet/eating habits?

Hey Lynnez are you out there? Would like to talk.

Hey lady, where have you been? Haven't seen anything from you are you ok? How's everything going? 21 days left before I am a sleever. I bought some pure protein powder, Chrystal light and some stevia powdered sugar. Just before my flight leaves I'll get the gas x. I am excited and nervous. I am praying my recovery goes as well as yours did. Your story is amazing. I can't help wondering did your recovery go so well because of your age? The body tends to recover better at 25 than at my 47!!!!!! I guess I am being paranoid again. I am such a worry wart. Did you have these feelings of excitement and then share panic?

Hey Ky89, I read your post earlier today, but I was out and about. I could not wait to get home to write you back. It is really nice to speak to someone about my fears with regards to this wls. Especially, since you went with the same Dr. that I am going with. Your answers to me make sense. I am much older than you (47yrs young) lol and struggled with this decision for almost a year. When I went to Medical Tourism, I filled out the information for the BMI answered some questions and then Bianca emailed me the next day. We spoke and I made the decision to place the 250.00 down payment. She then emailed me a questionnaire with minimal things about my health. It was payment (of course), travel procedures and hotel. once I completed that, I was then some how paired with Dr. Mario Camelo Ramos. I then initialed off on another questionnaire indicating what the pre op instructions were. I went on line and found little information on the doctor, only edited testimonials of less than a minute and of him sharing his experience. All his credentials are in spanish so I did not understand what they meant. Was this how your story went as well? As I pointed out before, If I had not gotten in touch with you, I probably would of cancelled my surgery. What are you eating now, if anything? How are you tolerating liquids? How are you getting your Protein in? What is your support system like? Here I go again with the questions? I just can't help myself. Lol.

Are you in the military? What made you pick Mexico? Wouldn't Singapore/Thailand be closer?

Thank you so much for your feedback. My surgery date is January 19th, 2015. I too fly in a day before. They are going to let me have my hotel day the first day and since my flight leaves so early on the 22nd I will stay at a hotel in San dieago the night of the 21st. My flight leaves at 6:00am on the 22nd. Did you loose weight from the pre op diet and did you find it difficult to adhere to? Are you extremely hungry?

It doesn't say when your date for surgery was, so forgive my many questions. Are you swallowing ok? Did you have a drain? What are some suggestions would you give a nervous nelly like me. Did I mention I was a wuss?

Ky89 thank you for responding. I was getting really nervous. I was contemplating canceling my surgery until I heard from you. Did you end up having Dr. Ramos as your surgeon? Are you back at home?

I went through medical tourism corporation. When I filled out the questionnaire. A medical ordination by the name if bianica contacted me and told me I was assigned to this doctor. He operates out of Tijuana Mexico at the Florence Hospital. He is on the Internet but the few posting are of him speaking about his credentials. The testimonials that are listed are vague.

I just read your posting. I to am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Ramos and can't find much info on him. Did you have your surgery? If so what was your experience.
