I fly out April 16 to Tijuana.

I fly out April 16 to Tijuana. That is the day before my 27 birthday. I had a stroke last year in august and decided it was time to live. I want children with my new husband and I want to live long enouhh to see my stepson graduate. I am scared. I am going alone because we can't afford for my husband to go. I am technically going with a group but I don't know anyone. My Dr is Dr. Jaime ponce de leon at the INT hospital. I don't know much about him. I did so much research but I still feel I'm lacking. My doctors here in Houston are all for it but there are a lot of negative feelings from family about mexico. I can't afford it here and I have to do something. Wish me luck!

    Luck! I've read great things about your doc. And I'm headed to Tijuana a few days after you.

    I'm kind of panicking. I was reading on here that my coordinator Laurie Wolf may not have been a wise choice. She doesn't answer my emails and her phone just went to voicemail when I called 5 minutes ago. I paid her deposit but I don't know how to check and see if I'm even scheduled.

    I researched Dr. Ponce and I believe you will be in great hands...All of his patients love him and are doing well...he's a great surgeon...

    I understand your fears as I am leaving out on Thursday 4/11 to have surgery with Dr. Garcia. I am nervous, excited and little scared all in one

    BUT God's got me so I'm ready to do this!!!

    No it isn't. I got ahold of another coordinator and she at least verified that my procedure is booked but I don't know about transportation or lodging
