swampdonkey 36 Posted October 12, 2012 No date yet if everything goes right I should be able to get early January at penn medicine in Philly, met the doc for the first time he seems to be really cool and down to earth.. How was your experience in MX? I'm from South Jersey,Marlton area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikki82 147 Posted October 12, 2012 Marlton? I'm right outside Mt. Holly. My experience in MX was wonderful! Everything ran so smoothly. We had a driver pick us up from the San Diego airport and then he drove us across the border and then to our hotel. I had preop testing and the next day was surgery day. It was great. I had no pain, whatsoever just discomfort and a bout of nausea from the anesthesia. It makes me sick. But so far so good. No complaints here. I'm even considering going back to MX for plastic surgery. That or the Dominican Republic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beckyrn10 8 Posted October 24, 2012 I live in northern NJ. Was sleeves yesterday. I love my surgeon!!! I am a nurse so I was very picky with what I wanted and how my procedure would go. I am extremely pleased with his care. I am some pain today. The gas pains are the worst. Must WALK after your surgery. It will be the best thing. Good luck!!!!
