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.

Im in Tijuana surgery tomorrow with Dr Lopez. The Marriott was full so im at Hotel Pueblo Amigo which is very nice. It has a casino but I don't gamble. So 7am im heading to MI Doctor. I will post as I go.

Cheering you on. Praying all goes well.

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.

Thanks for checking in! All the best ... You are on the home stretch!

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?

I wanted either her or Dr. Lopez and she happened to be taking patients the date I want so it worked out well
