About to head to TJ for TT, BR/Bl, Lipo

My plane leaves for san diego in a couple hours. I am having a TT, Lipo to abdomen and back, BL/BR, and possibly fat grafting to the buttocks (thinking of backing out of the fat grafting for now) just now sure how Im going to sit or lay on my behind to recover from TT and BL/BR with having my rear end injected with fat!

Anyway I am using Dr Fuentes in Tijuana, Mexico, and his office will pick me up at the san diego airport and we will go to his office to get my markups done today. My surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:30. I will stay the night in his postsurgical recovery, and be released Friday if all goes well. I will try to have my brother that is traveling with me post updates after the surgery. We are then staying in Rosarito Beach in a condo for 8 more days, I did not want to travel to soon after surgery so just decided to stay and rest/recuperate in the beachside condo for as long as I could be away from home!

Please wish me luck, and keep me in your prayers for an uneventful surgery, great outcome, and safety for me and my traveling companions!

BTW- I am soooo excited and utterly a nervous wreck at the same time! i haven't been out of the country in over 5 years! And surely not for a medical procedure! But I GOT THIS! LOL
