Hi all,

This forum has been a fabulous source of info and I want to say thanks to all. I think I am going to book my surgery today with Dr. Ortiz - now I am very nervous! Neenagh, you get to hang on to your Dr. Mumford action figure because I think I will go with the guy from Mexico who looks like the star of a Mexican soap opera...:clap2: (that doesn't sound very respectful, does it?)

Cheers,

Laura

Good luck.

Me too! Exciting isn't it????

Just curious for those of you from Canada and going to Mexico for surgery. Who will do your fills?

Just curious as it seems much easier in the US to find a doctor who will do fills. I don't know of any in BC.

I have heard really good things about the surgeons in Mexico, so good luck to you and let us know how it goes.

Hi Paulax,

I think I will go back to Mexico for my first fill, then if all goes well, I will either go to Dr. Woodhead or to Arlington, Washington where a nurse practitioner does them (assuming my port is not hard to find). I am keeping my appointment for April 1, 2008 with Dr. Amson (just in case, or I will throw myself on his mercy one day when I see him at work).

I liked your post about joining the gym/hiring a personal trainer - you are very funny, and I'll hold you, if you hold me (in a support forum, long distance way, of course)

Cheers,

Laura

Congrats Laura !

Good luck I have heard some awesome things about the docs in Mexico, take it easy and remember to ask for assistance at the airport if you need it and don't lift anything heavy.

Congratulations emmasmom!!!
