Late night fly in now waiting to have surgery.

So I flew in last night (really last) and arrived in San Deigo at 11:30. My phone was dead and had to wait a couple of minutes to charge it up then I called my driver. The company I'm with picks us up at the airport. He had called me the night before to give me his cell # so I could call when I was in. He was waiting for me in the parking lot. Originally I thought I would have had to get a hotel until pickup the next day but he said he would cross tonight. So we did and it took us a whole 30 minutes. I must say that I traveled to Mexico before but in the south....Tijuana surprised me bc I was told it was old and different. It's not. The Marriott is better than some hotels in NY. I was able to call my husband using Skype in the hotel and now waiting in my room for pickup at 9pm. Two days ago, I found myself crying out of fear if the unknown, today many of my ears are being unfounded and that feels great. Knowing my husband is 250% behind me as he says with this surgery reassures me I'm doing the right thing. All surgeries have risks and complications and I'd be stupid o think otherwise.....but that is also true if I were having it in NY....so...so far so good....will keep updating.

Good luck to you!

Good Luck!

Good luck with the surgery and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Good luck and blessings, don't worry, you're going to be OK. Don't believe what they say on TV or people say about Mexico being an unsafe country, Mexico is as unsafe as it is USA or any other country, i live in Florida and i had my sleeve surgery done in Tijuana as well 7 months ago and it was the best experience ever!

Thinking about you and hope everything is going good.
