I'm done. You just HAVE to be right don't you? Or maybe you were her nurse. She wasn't going to aspirate, her freaking throat was dry. I came to this site for help and support during my surgery process. All I've found is:

1. People who like to complain. A LOT.

2. People who still want to have their cake and eat it too. Good god. If I see one more post about being 5 weeks out and wanting alcohol!

3. Debbie Downers and Negative Nancies. Get over yourself. Everyone has bad days. Your horror stories are not even told to educate, rather scare people. Want sympathy? Look it up in the dictionary.

4. High and mighty 'Veterans' with flippant responses.

NurseGrace, no one was attacking you personally on your I'm sure 'fabulous' bedside manner. I'm a teacher. You don't think people attack my profession constantly?! I ignore it and take the constructive criticism to improve my self. One teacher at a time.

I cannot stand this bickering and blatant disrespect people have for each other on here just because you sit behind a computer. I will go through this silently or find some other support. Good luck to you that really want to change their lives. Those who wanted a quick fix? Shame on you.

Post anesthesia everything is numb and deadened back there from intubation. During surgery you are not breathing on your own and your airway is not maintained on its own. post op everyone is a huge choking risk because just because you can talk or mouth words doesn't mean full funtion has returned. Sorry you don't like the facts.

First of all I'm far from ignorant and all you said sound great. And I'm sure that everything you said is true. But your telling me after all she said you wouldn't have ran out of there? Where did you get yours done? I'm Dominican and there are also great surgeons in my country. But most people go to those county to get preceder done because its cheap not so much for the surgeon. Most of them don't have insurance and it not cheap in the states. I get it. But check out the place first. I don't know about you. But I did alot of research before I decided on who was going to preform my surgery.

I would not have put myself in a situation that required me to make a last minute decision about my surgery...as in getting up and running out

And btw.. I consider my dr in MX my personal dr and I have been to your "3rd world country" MX for three surgeries, my daughters twice and we go there by choice. And are going back in the fall.

You're too uneducated to be making the comments that you have already allowed to escape your ignorant mouth.

Ok, I'm probably being a tad harsh, but it's obvious you insist on backing up something that has no merit

Do some research before you continue, please?

You're lost? Are you saying you haven't read the entire thread?

*sigh!*

I had surgery in Mexico, though I did not use her surgeon. My experience in no way was similar to her experience. I know the OP says she spoke to a lot of people and they all had the same experience as her, but my experience has been the opposite. First of all, colored pee wouldn't have even fazed me, considering that my Multivitamins color my pee too (because of the Vitamin B I believe?) so I'm not surprised that a blue dye would color your pee green. I did not use her coordinator so while her experience with her coordinator does sound bad, mine was not like that. The naked on the OR table does not seem to be an issue at the hospital I went to. Diarrhea is a common effect from surgery so that didn't bother me either, I had diarrhea after giving birth vaginally AND a c-section, so it's just how the body reacts to things like this. So none of this made me run the other way, because I did do my research before going. I didn't just have a kneejerk reaction that "OMG Mexico = bad!" like you seemed to have. We did our research, so that's why it's strange that someone who admittedly did NO research is coming here to tell people that they shouldn't have surgery in Mexico.

Nah. I just don't like the fact that you appear to be a know it all ****

The only odd ball I had is that I spent my entire night throwing up saliva and what appeared to be alot of blood. Even then I still had totally faith in my doctors abilities and knew I had made the right decision. The next morning after talking to one of my physicians about it, she informed me that she thought that might happen because my ethnicity has a high sensitivity to anesthesia on top of having major surgery.

[julielle 199]

Still, would be nice that they tell you that before you start coughing up the blood right

Everyone can make their own decision
