  1. You guys have made me feel soooo much better!!! Thank you ????
  2. Hi everyone, I need help and advice please. On once of my incision sites, a small piece of the internal sutures used to strengthen the wound are protruding out of my wound. My surgery was on April 15 and my other scars are healing nicely but I'm freaking out a little about this. It is a direct route to my insides!!! I am keeping it clean but the doctor said it could take 6weeks for them to dissolve. Has this happened to anyone else?
  3. I was just informed that the balance of my surgery needs to be paid in cash. This makes me kind of uncomfortable as I am traveling to Mexico alone. Is there a reason why they want cash?
  4. I'm headed to PVR and was just told that they want my final payment in cash. Is this typical? My husband is very worried about me traveling alone with thousands in cash. Aren't there other ways to securely give them my money? Bank check, travelers checks? Sorry, I realize now I just posted that in the wrong spot.
  5. @@Jess pics please!!!!! I would love to get an idea of scars and before and afters
  6. Hi David, I need to go back and find them again. I think at least one of them emailed me the quote. You need to go through the whole process of filling out all the information about when, where and who is doing the procedure. Then the price is based on the level of insurance you want. If I can pick up where I left off when I was first researching, I will be happy to give you the company names
  7. I sent you a message. I hope we can connect so I can find out how everything goes for you. I have no doubt it will be great. All the best!!
  8. I am using Dr.Hidalgo in PVR. I haven't heard a lot of chatter about him on the boards here but I feel really good about him being my surgeon so far.
  9. I will be in PVR on the 15th with Dr. Hidalgo. I am staying at the Sunset Plaza. Anyone wanna be a buddy??
  10. Thanks @@JamieLogical that is a great place for me to start

  12. I'm going with Dr. Hidalgo in PVR. Scheduled for the 15th of April. Anyone going to the coast?
  13. This is a great question. Something I had wondered too. What will happen to your luggage and cash while you are in surgery? I wonder if there is a safe place for everything??
