Keep us posted, hope ask goes well. Does anyone know of an app to use while in Mexico to get a hold of people while your there. I know my friend that was just there used the Wi-Fi at the hospital but didn't have it at the hotel.

Viber.. It a good one!!!

Hi make sure you wear compression socks and continually drink water through out the flight. The Dr may give you some other form of medication while you are there to prevent blood clots on the way home. Send an email to your Dr and tell them that you are nervous about the 6hr flight do they have any special recommendations. Don't panic

Ausmith and xtina.. Thank you so much for you support.. Good look to every one that is going to Mexico to have this done!!!! We all be fine!!! Lot of prayers!!!!

Mexico May be an option for me...did you go through Medical Tourism Co or how did you decide?

Good morning all... my surgery date is approaching fast...I'm getting excited not trying to let my nerves show. I'll keep you all updated

Those with long flights make sure you are stretching your legs and getting out of your seat at least once an hour to prevent blood clots! Keep your circulation flowing!

Thank you!! I will make sure i do that!!! Thanks everyone..

I had surgery at OCC in Tijuana 2/25 & it was a great experience. My friends & family were against it also but my daughter went with me & is now fully on board with it, the staff at the hospital & Marriott were wonderful, the Van driver that picked us up in San Diego was also wonderful. I did very well with the surgery as I followed all the instructions I lost 12 pounds on the ore-op diet & now am down 25 pounds total as I put 6 pounds back on after surgery which is expected .

Good luck I am sure you will be pleased & do well
