Surgery scheduled for 04/09...anyone else?

Hi,

I'm scheduled for surgery on 04/09 with Dr Almanza in Tijuana...is anyone else going? I would love to meet someone on this forum that will be there around that time.

Question: My sister is going with me, what would she be doing for those 3 days...will she be bored? will I be so out of it to keep her company? If someone traveled with you, what did they while you were recovering?

I just realized this afternoon that my date is a bit over three weeks...it is starting to be so real now!

Anyone else for 04/09? Would love to get to know someone else doing it around the same time so we can be supportive to each other. Please let me know!

I am scheduled for 4/8 in San Francisco so I will be the day after you.

Mexico is a wonderful place to go and I'm sure your sister will not be bored.

But hopefully your sister is really there for you and will be available for you after. To take care of you and make sure you have everything. My sister would never do that for me..so you're lucky. I won't tell her I am having surgery because she won't be supportive...just tell me scary stories...

My husband is my big support. Anyway let me know how things are going.

It freaks me out that it will all happen in three weeks.

I will be the day before. I can't believe i'm so nervous I can't even do math anymore.

LOL

I'm glad to meet someone else that will be there around the same time. I just registered with obesityhelp.com and they have a Mexico Forum....There's another person that will be there the same day as you and another one that will be there the next day. So many Dr. Almanza patients there and they all have great things to say about him, check it out!

What is your name? So I'll know to look for you!

Lizzie,

My name is jessica but I will be having surgery on 4/8 in San Francisco not in Mexico.

Lizzie,

My Brother went to Mexicali with me for my surgery and he found

things to do. He did help me when I needed him but I was not really

out of it and did not have any problems with sickness. He got with

other relatives of patients and they would go eat together and walk

around to see what was around the Hospital.

Good luck with your journey.
