Mexicali Here I Come

By Readyfourchg

· 706 views

I am on my way to Mexico in the morning to Dr. Aceves. My bags are packed, I have checked, rechecked, and triple checked what I may need. I am scared as the world, but I know that in about a month I will be ecstatic. I have thought about everything the could go wrong and decided to focus on what could go right. I do not have the co-morbidities, but fertility and joint problems. So, I have thought..can't I just do this myself? Then, I remind myself that I have been for the past 30 years and to no avail. I am in disbelief that I am taking such drastic measures. Plus, I am afraid as I lose the weight the comments I will get. Silly, right. Nevertheless, I will keep everyone posted and provide specifics of what they do.

 

I'm going to attempt to sleep, because I have an early morning and a life changing flight!

    You'll be in great hands. I had Dr Aceves and the staff made me feel so comfortable and safe. I was so nervous but once I met them all my fears disappeared. And there was no pain at all. I went to the pharmacy across the street the day before I left to get another box on pantazol (anti-reflux). They give you one box but the grains were so much easier to take than the pills I was glad I had it. I also got an extra box of supradol (pain pill) but I never used them. They dissolve in your mouth but I really didn't have any pain to take them for.

    Byebyefatgirl, you are so correct. I definitely think I need Ambien.

    Amykins, thank you for the heads up, I will definitely get some medicine before I leave. Thank you both for the prayers I will keep everyone posted.
