I had the surgery done on Friday, July 11, 2008. I thought I would be fine to go back to work the following Tuesday, but I made it 1/2 day and left and didn't come back until that next Monday, so I was out about a week. I had never had surgery before, so I was in for a shock with the gas alone. I had it done in Mexicali, Mexico by Drs. Abril and Ham and of course I was nervous, but it was a wonderful experience. I work at a hospital, so I know the ropes a little bit and they were very professional and the facility was beautiful. I would definitely recommend it.
