Easter in Mexico!



Recommended Posts

I just got everything set to have surgery on March 28th. A stay for the weekend, I need all the rest I can get, then back home on Monday the 1st of April. I then looked at the calendar and realized I will be there for Easter! Just as well, I'm getting the greatest gift I can possibly imagine.

Anyone else in for and egg hunt at the Tijuana Marriott?

Me I am!!!!! I was waiting to see if someone else would be there. I am gonna schedule for the 29th. So you can fly in the same day of surgery. I may consider that too. Where are you coming in from? And what time do you have to fly in by in Order to have surgery the same day.

I'm flying in from Phoenix, arriving in San Diego around nine am. I proposed that time to alma when I was scheduling and she said it would be fine. I'm not sure if there is a time limit. The only additional thing she said is that I will need to wear compression stockings in flight. As well as adhere to the no food or drink for eight hours (that will be tough, I always get dehydrated while flying).

I look forward to meeting you! Where are you coming from? Are you traveling alone? I will be:)

I'm also requesting March 29 with Dr Garcia. If there's room on his schedule I'll be flying in the day of surgery around 11am. Do you know what the earliest time is on our discharge from hotel day? Alma told me I only needed one week of a preop diet, but I think I'll do two weeks anyway. Basically I'm already so anxious. Hope they have Versed in Mexico!

I look forward to meeting all of you! I'm a little apprehensive about going alone to Mexico and going through surgery without any loved ones by my side. I'm grateful ya'll will be there going through similar experiences.

I'm flying through Denver on United on the 29th Questions I have are, do we tip the driver, will I get to wear my underpants, and how much is texting going to cost me, oh and whether I'm going to wake up after surgery. Just the little things!

Tip the driver if you wish and no sorry no underpants you have to go commando! Texting cost me .75 cents a text but phoning was ridiculously expensive. Of course you will wake after surgery, no worries, best wishes!!

Deborah,

I just found out how much texting and calls will get me for! 50 cents a text and $2.29 a minute calling! I have a Sprint iPhone and the very helpful young man there told me that my best option was to buy a phone card in Mexico for calls. And also to block my services after landing in San Diego. But, I will be able to access any wifi around to get on Facebook or google plus. iPhone has messaging phone to phone. And google plus has an awesome chat that is similar to Skype, but much more efficient.

Looks like we're all going alone. We got each other though. So if you have an iPhone you can text anyone that has an iPhone and its free. No matter what carrier they have??

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
