    I'm going to Mexico on Monday morning all by myself. I grew up living in San Diego (still do). It's a different country...clearly, hello? But I had a lot of fun going down there and noticing those differences traveling around. Now things have changed requiring a passport, etc. But after booking my appointment, I'm glad that my local family won't be able to go. Just me!

    The hospital is Sooo close to the border too.

    I wish I had a sleeve buddy too tho~[/quote']

    I just came back last week from surgery and didn't need a passport. I just had my ID and birth certificate.

    Here goes my journey...........

    Me and my husband drove form Las Vegas to San Diego where we were picked up by Ricardo( alighterme me new driver). We had to wait an extra hour at the airport cause it took him a little longer then expected to get across the border( wasn't his faught tho). Ricardo is very nice and he drove us straight to the Marriott hotel and got us checked in. The Marriott is really nice and clean. After getting settled in we went to the restaurant to eat. I didn't like the broth but my husband loved his meal, he has steak:)

    The next day Abraham pick us up at 8:00 sharp to take us to the hospital . Once there I was checked into my room to relax before the testing began. I was then visited by Dr Lopez and Eduardo . Dr Lopez sat with me and explain the whole procedure. He advise that I will be given a cd of my surgery and All my lap paperwork to take back to the states. . Eduardo asked if I had any concern and he answered all my question also ( p.s. he is fine ..... Lol). Then i meet Dr Ortiz very friendly man, who advise me that he will be helping with my surgery. Finally had my rest ran ( EKG and blood test ) went into surgery around 12:30 . All I remember was the lady giving me a shot saying it will make me dizzy and next thing you know I wake up and I'm all done. When I woke up all the way I was in PAiN. I walked a little and spent most of the day sleeping . They gave me pain meds to help he sleep through the night .

    The next day I felt so much better !!!!!!! But I was starving. I had to drink the blue stuff( It was so nasty) then I drank this white stuff and did the X-ray to make sure no leaks . Then finally I was giving apple juice. The apple juice felt like heaven... Lol I'm now just relaxing in my room watching tv and drinking juice. Tomorrow going to the Marriott and I getting this IV taken out.

    To be continue ..... If any specific question please asked......

    I've heard lots of good things about him! That is pretty cool that he gives you a DVD of the surgery! When I was researching surgeons there wasn't many on here at that time that went to Dr. Ponce. But over the months I've been reading more and more positive experiences! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

    Dr Lopez gives u a CD also!!
