Is there anyone out there that has gone to MX from Alabama? Particularly from the birmingham area? I need to find a new PCP as the one I have is not supportive of my decision at all. Never even mentioned going to MX after she was so blunt about how she felt about it. So bummed.

GirlFriday, I'm not from AL, but I'm from Louisiana and I know what you mean. I told my niece and she's a nurse about the MX option and she was not in favor of it at all, without even listening to me make my case. Then, I thought most medical folks probably get annoyed when we go to MX because they know it's cheaper.

I'm in Huntsville and had surgery with Dr Ramos-Kelly in Tijuana in December 2011. My PCP is very supportive and it thrilled with my progress. If you are not getting support, there are other PCPs. Good luck with your journey.

Hi there! I had surgery at Stringfellow Memorial Hospital with Dr. Clifford Black of Anniston General Surgery Center in Calhoun Co, AL. I do not reccomend Stringfellow. Dr. Black and his staff are awesome, though.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
