Mexico Octosleevers! Add Your Name, Date And Surgeon!

[carpediem2012 7]

Oops, one more thing! The night nurses spoke less English than the day nurses. There is wifi in the Hospital, so I downloaded the app iTranslate. It was wonderful!! It helped me and them. Just a thought.

Ice is pronounced "yallo" and a GREAT ond to know. Heehee. Getting to the bathroom and showers is a breeze.

I really think Mi hospital is cleaner than our hospital's here.

Is this ok? I just drank an 11 oz slim fast. Only 2 weeks out. Feel fine.

Thanks I'm done and all I have is heartburn, Dr Lopez found a hole in my esophagus and 30% of my stomach was in my chest cavity. Holy crap. He fixed it thank God.

Told me if it wasn't fixed within 2 years I probably would of gotten esophageal cancer , kind of puts thing in perspective. But I'm done healthy and it's wonderful in PV

Hey, that's cool--you'll get a little more time to prepare! Glad you're still on the sleevers list;-)

Erp kind of stressful when the coordinator doesn't seem to remember booking you on a certain date! Hoping it was just a misunderstanding and I'm all set to go on the 28th, if not then I guess I might be going in for surgery on the 29th... which isn't a huge deal but my flight home is the 31st and that's one less day to recover before flying, argh! Hope it works out.

Ugh that stinks, I emailed my coordinator last week to just check in.

[julielle 199]

Ugh yep, she has me down for the wrong day. I'm not sure what to do. I have several emails from her where she confirms that I'm having surgery on the 28th, and now suddenly she's basically saying that we always agreed on the 29th. So I have 1 less day to recover which just makes me feel oh so much more secure in my decision to fly to Mexico for surgery because I have to come home a whole day early

I'm so sorry but honestly I'd prefer to be home recuperating. Which doc if you don't mind me asking, u can private message me.

[julielle 199]

I'm with jaime Ponce de leon, this is no error of his though, this is a breakdown in communication with the coordinator I guess!

I would honestly rather be at home recuperating too but, we're talking about the difference of a night in a hotel and a night at home, not a night in the hospital and a night at home. I'd still be doing the 2 nights at the hospital, I'd just get no hotel stay. It would have been nice to have a stress free day in a real bed to recuperate before having to spend all day flying (Leave San Diego at 11am and get home at midnight, blech!)

My issue is that If they felt it was safe to let everyone go home after only 2 nights, then why wouldn't they do that to everyone? If they make everyone stay an extra night in a hotel it must be for a reason, that's what worries me.
