I feel the exact same way. I'll be having surgery on Sept 11th in Tijuana at the Clinica San Juan with a Dr Gonzalez. I can't find any information about him. I've paid the deposit and bought my airline tickets. Big time nervous here!!!!

I was originally scheduled at clinic san juan with dr Gonzalez. Bianca called and offered me dr. Camelo . I had researched dr Gonzalez with no luck. After having the sugery at hospital florence with dr camelo im thrilled with my decision. Even while there, i mentioned dr Gonzalez but no one knew him. Dont be nervous, but everything in gods hands and follow the pre op. Also take 50billion Probiotics or 1 tsp apple cider vinegar every day. It will help with recovery. Also, dr Gonzalez does NOT give you take home meds, if you want them, it cost $150 additional. You also have to get your stitches removed but dr camelo uses the kind that di solve.

Good luck and God bless you

My surgery will be September 10th also, and I'll be with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. Is there something in particular you're feeling 'lost' about? Who is your surgeon - maybe we'll be seeing each other soon!

I believe it's normal to be nervous, as my surgery date approached I was a bundle of nerves. But don't feel lost, you have made a decision that will most definitely improve your health and your life. You are no longer a spectator, you are doing something to better yourself, not a lot of people take that step. Keep yourself busy, that's what helped me stay focused.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
