    My fantasies are pretty simple....just to be able to change in front of my husband, get in or out of the shower with him in the room, be excited about going on a tropical vacation and wear a swimsuit (maybe not even a bikini) and be able to book one of the nice, romantic hotel suites with the jacuzzi tub we can both fit in.....Ive avoided all of these since the day we got married (almost 4 yrs) just want to be able to enjoy these things with my hubby!

    Here are a couple of things I would change if I were to go back to Mexico and do over.
    1. Make sure that my cashiers check for the doctor has the correct name on it. I wasn't given the exact information, and it caused a lot of stress on Mexico.
    2. I would like for there to be a FAQ list that was given to me before I went to Mx so I would have a list to make sure I had all completed before I left. A list of reminders would have been perfect.
    3. Take gas x...not that it worked for me lol...but the gas pain hurt sooooo badly.
    4. Take dry broth packets so you can make hot broth in the airport.
    5. Download on your phone or IPAD an app that translates English to Spanish.
    6. THIS IS A BIG ONE!!!! Pain and Anti Nausea Meds---when will they be given to me??? Make sure you have a good discussion with Dr.Kelly about this. I have now heard of 2 other women who did not feel like they were given these meds that first night after surgery. It may have been a certain Dr...but Dr.Kelly has been told of this concern, and it is still happening.
    7. Take an empire style dress(es) to wear after surgery so they don't touch your incisions.
    8. Dr.Kelly does not want Omar to be paid extra for things that are included in his job duties.
    9. Take a piece of hard candy so you can have something in your mouth after the swallow test!!
    This is all I can think of right now....Oh...I suggested to florence hospital to have their admission paperwork in English. My boyfriend who went with me is a cop...and he and I had to give them our licenses whe we got there...just didn't feel right....as well as signing something that I couldn't read.
    Overall, the experience was good...a little stressful, but good. AGain...these were my experiences and are meant only to help the next person to not have to go through the same things.
    If Anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask

    I was telling Jen today that I would jump at the chance at going with someone if they didn't want to go alone. Good luck to you all, you chose a great surgeon!
