Hello!
Was searching around the Internet last Friday when I happened across this site. I'm so glad I did! Since then, I've spent hours reading posts, writing down tips, and generally putting my mind to rest over my upcoming VSG on May 12th.
I couldn't figure out how to go back and edit things on my profile (starting weight, etc...), so here goes. Would be great to have a buddy to share in the highs and lows of our journey together.
Surgery Date: Friday, May 12th
Location: StarMedica Hospital, Juarez, Mexico
Surgeons: Dr. Jose Rodriguez-Villarreal & Dr. Elmo Aramburo
Funding: Self-Pay
My only main concern at the moment is travel. My husband is travelling with me from our home in New Hampshire to El Paso, TX (via Atlanta). This doesn't worry me for the outward journey, but am a little concerned about spending 8+ hours traveling 2 days after my procedure. Has anyone had a similar experience and is able to offer any advice?
