Did you or do you plan on going alone?

At first I was thinking about bringing my husband and kids but i have serious doubts about bringing the kids. I think i would rather them stay in the states.

I hear that the area is not as bad as people make it sound, but i have never been there.

I didn't have my procedure in Mexico, however I did go with a friend while he had his procedure. I can tell you, my visit was mostly tending to my friend, we took little strolls to the plaza and did some light shopping, but he did get tired quickly. I did venture out on my own once or twice for a short time. But my main focus was my friends well being. So ultimately do I count that as a vacation, nope not at all. However it did put my friends family at ease knowing that I was with him and I did call/text updates.

Good luck on your trip and the surgery, wishing you the best!!!

Thank you! I am so excited!

If anyone having surgery with Dr. Kelly needs a companion I'm more than happy to go! Just give me enough notice that I can get off work! Would love to see Dr K again and be a shoulder to lean on for support! Absolutely 100% serious about this!

Cathy, do you live close enough to go? Or do you need a flight?

My surgery is August 15th.

Cathy' date=' do you live close enough to go? Or do you need a flight?[/quote']

It's a quick flight. There is one that leaves my area at 5 am and has one layover, I'm usually in San Diego by 9 am!

ATLSara, I am also going to Dr. Kelly, my surgery hasn't been scheduled yet, I wonder if I could do it the same day as you. I am in Florida btw...it would be great to have someone else as a newbie there going through it at the same time.

I am trying for 8/31 too. I'm waiting to hear back from Omar. ATLSara, when do you leave tJ?

Girls, if you haven't already done so, join altsara and I in the August2012 group called august sleevers where ya at. There is a huge list of people being sleeved in August. Stay in touch and let us know when your dates are set. I am 8/31 in TJ with Garcia

Ladybuglv I am planning on arriving on the 31st morning and leaving the afternoon of the 4th. That's what Omar suggested.

BTW, ladybug has been my typical online name, ever since college when every apartment I had seemed to have ladybug infestations!

I would have gone alone too because I just would not have wanted to be distracted.

LTL Sara, it's been mine too. I've been using it for 10+ years. I just add whatever city I live in, Las Vegas now. Ladybugs make me smile

I had seriously thought about Dr Kelly and while I can't explain it, I am just drawn to Dr Aceves. I know Dr Kelly is excellent, and the $ difference would buy ALOT of smaller size clothes. But the little voice inside wants me to fo to Dr Aceves. I'm just gonna have to follow my gut on this one.

Nice to have a sister sleever!
