I made it!! I am in Mexicali, Mexico one hour away from my plication procedure with Dr. Rafael Abril. I am so very pleased. The hospital is small and privatley owned. Very clean, very nice. I am calm and feel secure about this now. finally!! I was such a worry wort. I will re post after I wake up and let you all know how it went. If anyone is looking for surgery and is afraid of Mexico, like me...chill out, they really are great down here!!

Surgery was GREAT!! I saw my doc this morning and accused him of not even doing surgery. My body is not sore, I do not hurt anywhere other than my incision sites. I was nasuas after coming out of anesthesia, but that is totally normal. He said my stomach was very very large and had to plicate it three times, he said normal is two times. My throat hurts from the tube, but not bad. I can suck on ice until later today, then sips of water. The nurses are wonderful, the doctors team was fabulous. I am so grateful, worth every penny. Ciao!!!
