Irrational worries about pre-op testing

[marypups 111]

I'm scheduled to fly to Mexico next Wednesday and have the surgery on Thursday. I am worried about everything! My current worry is about the pre op testing. I'm worried that, since the testing has not been done in advance, I will get to Mexico, have the testing, and have them tell me there is some reason I cannot get the surgery done. I have no reason in particular to think this will happen, but I'm worried that I'm about to spend a bunch of money, fly to Mexico, get my hopes up and then it won't happen. Does anyone know people who have been turned down once they arrived? I did fill out my health questionnaire but have not had blood work, etc. done.

I am a worrier and I want this so much. Please advise!

I also went to Mexico for my surgery, I am currently 6days post op and I know that there was one girl with us that couldn't get the surgery and they refunded her.

_{Why couldn't she get the surgery?}

My surgery is on Thursday with Dr. Zavalza in Tijuana. I have been thinking the same thing. That would be a total waste of time and money since we won't get our airfare refunded. Our flight is only 1.5 hours but we paid 700 for it. I can only imagine how expensive it is for those people who live further than us.

I'm not really worried about being turned away. I'm not aware of anything wrong other than reflux and this muscle pain in my shoulder. My Dr has reassured me at 3 different visits that it is muskloskeletal related, I'm convinced I am dying lol!!

I am a worrier too. I'm going to ask my primary Dr to do a full exam and beg for an EKG a few weeks before.... I'm more worried about dying in Mexico and my family unable to ship me home (irrational I know). I trust my doctor and don't really think that will happen to me.
