I fly out April 16 to Tijuana.



Recommended Posts

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
