  1. Lol. Right?!! I can't change my date because I already asked off from work. We should definitely meet up though and have broth and smoothies!!
  2. Wow! I live in Lakeland, Fl (It's between Orlando and Tampa).
  3. Woot woot! I am a nurse too:)
  4. EXACTLY! I will be sure to tell you how things go . Are you a nurse?
  5. I was told Dr. Ortiz but my paperwork says Lopez so I need to clarify.
  6. I am June 11th Mexico at Mi Doctor Hospital
  7. I just applied today through the clerk of courts. I choose to expedite it for $60.00 more. They said it should take two to three weeks.
  8. My date is set in June my MD will give me my pre/post op diet soon I hope. My mom had the gastric bypass and she had to go to a support group prior to the surgery and she said most people were saying "they had a last meal" the day before. I was just wondering everyone's thoughts. I know doctors orders are best but just wondering everyone's thoughts and experiences. Thanks for your thoughts.
  9. I'm June 11th with Ortiz at Mi Doctor Hospital
  10. Did anyone eat the day before surgery?
  11. Thanks for the info! I can't wait.
  12. I would like to know as well. Also wondering if you can claim Aflac. I have the hospital plan which pays you for your hospital stay but not sure if Mexico is covered or not.
  13. Good to know. Is there anything you wish you would of brought with you? Also, did you feel like your pain was controlled ( I have heard they give NSAIDs for pain)?
  14. Good to hear, thanks!
  15. Hmmm...thanks!
  16. Hmmm I'm wondering if I should expedite or not then
  17. OK so I'm going tomorrow to apply. They said it could take up to 12 weeks so I will have to pay for it to be expedited. You only need the passport card and not the book if you are going into Mexico on land.
  18. Thank you. It will cost me total $4650 including guest and hotel.
  19. How long did it take for everyone to get their passports?
  20. I was looking in to Dr. Almanza but have switched to Dr. Elias Jesus Ortiz at the Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana. I am scheduling tomorrow for June 11th.
