Hi,

I just got back from having surgery in Mexico. Where are you going and are you using Medical Tourism? If you use Medical Tourism they will meet you in the hospital and they will keep you company before and after surgery. BiBi was with me most of the time I was there and she was wonderful. I'm not ready to go back but I had an awesome experience while I was there.

Hey I live here in TJ, my date is June 8 but I will still be off work... What agency or clinic/hospital are you going to? Depending on the agency you should have someone to help you. But you could also message me for anything too. I know what it feels like to be alone in a different country, it's definitely out of most of our comfort zones. *tip ask your cell phone company if they have a mexico plan. Some offer plans where you pay a fee then have a certain amount of texts or min. Otherwise you may not like your phone bill. Also, turn off your data when you cross into mexico, the clinic should have WiFi... You can also use an app like Skype or text plus for free text and calls over WiFi. Also we're so close to the USA that we have lots of us stores here, you'll see Walmart, home depot and of course lots of fast food places, so you might feel more at home than you think!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
