  1. My surgeons in my Ohio area wouldn't do it with lower BMI patients even if I was self-pay. And, they were priced in the mid-20,000. Mary
  2. Well, now I have nice clean teeth and the chip fixed. Medical Tourism is pretty cool. The most painful thing I have experienced is when they are pushing the meds through the IV tube. It stings / burns like crazy at the entry point. The Doctor was in the room when the nurse was doing it this morning. He was Wow, you are really sensitive to the drugs. Oh, yeah, you can tell I have never been a drug user. I came back at had some of my SF jello, took a nap, had some soup. Walked down to the pool, laid there for awhile soaking up the rays, then walked around the lobbey. I am now back on the boards bored. Mary

  11. So more updates. I was really Lay impressed with how time the nurse took finding the vein for the lV. My hands were super cold so she made hot water with a rubber glove did some other tricks, and my vein appeared. So far no nausea, a little gas pain - nothing bad, was a bit foggy on my initial walks but all is really good. Excellent care by all Mary
  12. [i got a shot of it's. Most other meds were pushed thru the IV only antibiotic was allowed to drip
  13. My NUT said high quality vitamins and B12 can help mitigate hair loss. She shots are the best then a liquid under the tongue next best, Mary
  14. I am doing fine. Vision is fuzzy but tummy is good nice and caring staff.
  15. OK I have a dental check (no one told me about that) to make sure I could chew my food sufficiently. Blood has been drawn and I am waiting for the NUT, oh and paperwork is complete. I am going to get my teeth cleaned and my chip fixed while I am here. I never find time for the dentist at home. The new me is starting! Mary
