I am a self pay patient and my total surgery cost... So far has been $8500 is it that much cheaper to go to Mexico with travel and hotel costs? I'm just curious? It never even occured to me to go to Mexico.

I had surgery on Oct 17, 2012 and I'm going to work tomorrow.... Im not 100% but close I have a desk job, no heavy lifting or anything... Oh and I'm 41 so you should do great with two weeks off

Sunny and 86 in Texas today

I know I can't really lay in my bed yet I got in it yesterday pretty easy then couldn't get out ... I've been sleeping in the recliner... But it works. I had the hernia as well, my best advice is to keep moving I just went for a walk around the block and it felt good.... My side started to hurt a little so I stopped at the block ... Don't over do it but definatley keep moving it makes all the difference .. And no a car ride for 8 hours that would be awful! Look forward to talking with you... We can do this!

Tank top and shorts.... Not daisy dukes or teenage shorts just above the knee shorts. And skirts just above the knee too!

Hi ! I had my surgery on Wednesday as well, I feel so much better today. I haven't drove yet either but will have to on Monday because I'm going back to work also.... I'm in DFW area. Where are you? It's been pretty hard I have a 14 yr old and a 1 1/2 yr old the baby doesnt understand what's going on and the oldest had his first homecoming last night in High School Bamd so I went to that last night only lasted till half time . I'm ready to feel completely back normal and get this weight off so I can keep up! Lol. How are you feeling so far?

Mr Dr said 3 weeks or as tolerated

You will be fine the hardest part is the gas pains from the gas they put in you... Hopefully you won't have a. Problem with it

Ok so how are you doing ? I'm doing ok just the gas pain is awful and I'm so thirsty but can't or don't want to drink anything just started on ice chips and that has helped ... I've been getting up and walking to the end of my driveway then come back in to rest.... How are you doing ?

I hope and pray all goes well... I'm going in at 5:30 in the morning as well... Be sure and Keep us posted!

This is better than Facebook lol ... Y'all are keeping this Texas girl entertained!

Everything everyone has said is exactly how I feel, I thought I was the only one who felt that way... But my #1 non health reason is... To just be normal.

I'm using premier Protein shakes I got them at SAMs 30grams of protein .
