  1. I like the idea of a table. I understand the risk that the results might be watered down by the possibilities that co-ordinators might be posting their "results" posing as patients. That being said, we are all at risk for this occurring to our own results. Many of us have made charts or have taken notes collecting our information. It seems wise to me to pool our efforts and organize this information. If I was at all competant with spreadsheets, you can bet I would have one to submit right now. I'm still in the process of selecting my Doctor. A number of factors are at play for me: Airport to fly into, Cost, Experience, Operation location, Drain vs. no Drain, Dr. Experience, Hospital Stay, Same day Surgery, Post op medications, Accomodations in Hospital, Hotel accomodations. Most of the factors that I'm interested in will have very firm unbiased answers. Since the accumulation of a lot of these factors could significantly assist me (and others) in deciding on a surgeon, I don't see where the risk would be? I for one, would be happy to assist in the making of the chart by providing the information that I've gathered.
  2. I love progress photo's! I can't believe this has only been 11 weeks. It is a very noticible difference! Well done!
  3. That's amazing! You are doing great. I'm glad your back is feeling better!!
  4. I would say the articles in Cosmo or other popular women's magazines are similar in nature to the articles in Men's Health and Maxim. Both of which are sold by the tic tacs and juicy fruit.
  5. Amazing! You are looking fantastic!!!
  6. I'm in the same boat. I've decided to get this done in Mexico and am currently researching doctors. It's very overwhelming. I've decided on a doctor and then I'll read about another doctor and start considering them. Airport is an issue for me. There seems to be a better flight selection into San Diego than some of the other destinations. I wish it was easier to decide.
  7. You are rockin' that sleeve! Way to go!
  8. Hello Everyone, I've spent a few weeks poking around forums and websites. I'm interested in getting some additional information about Dr. Ramos Kelly. I've seen a few posts talking about different ways to book surgery with him. What is the best way? and how do I go about it? Thank you!!
