I notice that some of you went to Mexico for surgery. I am self pay and I because of it, chose Mexico. My surgery is set for July 23rd. DId you worry about crossing the border for surgery...where do you get fills when you need them?:cursing:

I just joined this blog today. I am having my lap band done in Mexico on the 23rd and I am getting a little nervous. I tried a couple of doctors here and quickly found out that I could not afford to have it done. My best friend went to the same clinic in Mexico and had it done and she is fine, so I decided to go there. I am a smoker and am trying to quit, but can't seem to get past my nerves. The doctor in Mexico doesn't require it, but in reading up on this surgery it seems best. I am sure I would be nervous no matter what but the thought of leaving the country for heath care, smoking...and I have a cold right now...seem to be getting me overwhelmed. I know I need to quit smoking to get over the cough, but smoking is like my best friend and to give up two loves in my life ( food and cigs)at one time just seems really hard. Anyone else having this problem?

I wont be much help as I am pre op too...but I really needed to talk and I was wondering the same thing about the vitalady suplements. I do not have a prediet either, so all I can do is wonder about the post op all liquids. My surgery is next week and I am just turning into a bundle of nerves
