Going to Mexico, letter for grandparents to care for children
coexist23 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone. I leave for Tijuana, Mexico on March 6th. My parents are watching my kids and thought maybe I need to type up a letter for any dental or medical emergency. My question is, do you think I need to get it notarized? Thanks for any help. -

After trying about 5 different kinds, the only one I didn't gag on was Premier. In fact it tastes just like choc.milk. -

O.k., Just talked to Zoriahdiana5. She is unable to cut and paste and ask f someone else would do it. This is what she wrote: Gooooood Moooooorning!!!! Well I've been up since 4:30 this morning. Just couldn't sleep much again. Well I slept pretty good just not all morning. Lol. Thought I'd write to u guys before I jump in the shower n get ready. Omar is taking us to Breakfast. Once again, HE'S AWESOME!!!! Never thought my stay would be so comforting. He is just too good to be true but he is true n I'm a witness to that!!! I'll write u guys after I'm admitted to the hospital. Surgery is at 4pm pacific time. So whatever time that is for y'all, that's the time. Lol. Oh yea, can one of u ladies copy n paste my postings to VST pleeeeaaaasssse!!! =) I can get on the site but I can't copy n paste. N yes, I'm being lazy to REWRITE this all over again. Lol. Hugs n kisses!!! -

Having second thoughts!
coexist23 replied to jenniferg's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is the same date. Any time I get nervous, I just picture my children without a mother. That is what will happen if I don't change my lifestyle. This surgery is a wonderful tool that will help with that change. Good luck. Everything will be fine. -
When are you going?

Did you feel safe crossing the border into Tijuana?
coexist23 replied to FABby40's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I can imagine it's scarier getting back into the U.S. because of all of the U.S. security. Lots of security and big guns (and dogs) -
Nearly ready to go!
coexist23 replied to SoCalDixieGal's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I know, right. Chicago, Detroit, ATL!!! The U.S. is not exactly the saftest place. -
I am getting mine taken out at the same time as the sleeve. It's an extra $500 with my doctor in Mexico. I am not about to "go under" again when I can just do it at the same time. That would more scars, more time off work. NO thank you

Can anyone tell me about your experience going to mexico, for surgery, alone. I am going to go at some point at the end of winter, probably alone. Husband will have to stay home with kiddos. I will be going to MI hospital in TJ and Dr. Garcia will be my surgeon. I am going through Ready4AChange. Thank you for any help and support.

Worried about the craziest things
coexist23 replied to TxBritt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's great for 1 week out. I always lose weight in my face first. Hopefully the double chin!!!! -
My local Center of Excellence surgeon is apparently the **** around here. Even though my insurance doesn't cover any WLS, I still wanted to go. I listen to his spill about this and that. When asked about his leaks, he says he's only human. WHAT????!!!!!! Really. Dr Illan and Mexico, here I come. For $4,000, no deposit, hospital, hotel, and the wonderful "Omar".
