... begins and ends today. I really want sauerkraut and pork! Did anyone else have an "official" food funeral? An unintentional food funeral? No food funeral at all? Tomorrow I begin my preop diet. I plan to focus on a very regimented and structured preop diet to maximize my efforts. Wish me luck! Amanda Rae

Thank you for sharing your positive experience and congrats on your success! If you think you've seen negativity trying visiting the Self Pay/Mexico forum! I'm going to Mx in March for surgery and it is an overwhelming choice on top of an overwhelming choice. Ironically most who post negatives didn't have surgery in Mx,! They just can't believe someone would... Sigh... Have a safe and successful recovery and please stick around! Amanda Rae

Amanda RaeI believe a lot of rates are going up at the 1st of the year.I may have to push my dates back a week to 3/18. Dr. Lopez and I have conflicting schedules! Lol! Amanda RaeHooray!!!
