So proud of all of you who have already had your surgery and were only a few days in to March! Thanks for sharing your stories - they are a big help!

Does anyone know if Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana provides underwear for patients during their stay? I have heard that it is very common to have uncontrollable liquid bowel movements for a day or so post surgery.

At Mi Doctor been here since 7am its now I had my bloodwork and ekg. They do wear gloves when taking your blood. The hospital is a small 4 or 5 story building. Its nice and clean and the service is good. The waiting is killing me though. My stomaxh is rumbling and im getting a headache from lack of food. Inside im sreaming get to me already. Oh I need a blood transfusion because im severly anemic 1 pint= $200. Oh well the show must go on.

Hang in there. The waiting is rough but it will pass. You are almost there!!!

New momma - I don't think they provide underwear. I didn't have that happen and I didn't hear it was am issue for anyone else I was in the hospital with. Maybe buy some cheap ones you can toss if it does happen.

Update - at the San Diego airport super early. Boooooo. I was told to book my flight around 1 pm so I booked a 2pm to be safe and they picked us up at 8:15 am. The border took 30 minutes so a 4.5 hr wait at airport. Tried to get on earlier flight but no such luck.

Feeling ok today but very tired. I did a lot of walking yesterday and had to wake up at 6 am so I'm exhausted.

Yay talked my way into an earlier flight with no fee. Hint; if you fly southwest and tell them you just had surgery they will give you a disability pre board pass at the gate.

Oh I think we have a return flight late afternoon. Maybe we should no it it up I'm just so afraid of not getting to airport on time... I did by travelers insurance though...

Hi Kori, nice to hear someone else with Dr.Osuna. Did you choose her for your surgeon or was she suggested to you by a coordinating Center?
