Hi,

I'm new to this forum. Just wanted to know if anyone has went to Mexico alone and if you were nervous. Also, how much pain did you experience after the surgery?

i went to Mexico alone. i had the same feelings. who's your doctor? what hospital?

Dr. Ortiz will be doing it. When did you have yours done? Were you nervous being there alone?

Safe travels and good luck!!!!

Thank you

i went to Mexico on the 9th day of march. my surrey was on the 10th. i was fortunate in that my coordinator was there the whole time. she keep in close touch with my husband, who could not be there because of work. he was the only person that knew i was in mexico having this surgery. that was once of my biggest concerns. i had a private room in the hospital and got to stay there my entire time. i was so happy i didn't have to go to a motel and stay there alone. i'm not going to lie. i was very freaked out in the beginning. then i started meeting people in the hospital. you will make a little support group of the ones that have surgery on the same day you do. just remember your first waking thoughts should be to get up and walk. walking makes the gases leave your body. if you lye around sleeping you'll never feel any better. i did throw up when i woke up. they gave me something for pain and something for nausea and i was good after that. good luck. keep us posted. you'll do great. just go in there and rock it out!!

I went to Mexico alone in September 2012. I had no problems at all. I was up walking right after surgery and had very little pain per say really just a little discomfort. You will definitely be meeting others who have had the surgery especially at the hotel.

Aubwise- Dr. Ortiz is also my doctor and my date is 4/17/14. I will be traveling alone too. I am sure we'll run into each other. What day are you arriving?

Thank you for all the responses. My husband is the only one that knows as well and he doesn't have a passport so. I will have to be at the motel for a day so little weirded out.

NewBeginning2014- I will be arriving and doing my surgery same day on the 18th. Are you nervous as well? How is your diet going?

_{As the days tick by and the more I think about it, the more nervous I become. The pre-op diet isn't too bad. Actually, better than I expected - but it has only been a few days. What day are you leaving TJ?}

I feel exactly the same way! At first I thought no big deal but the more I think about it the more I start to stress. I fly out the 21st how about you?

I will be leaving on the 21^st also. Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I have been traveling -worked out well while with the pre-op diet, no one to notice what I'm NOT eating!! I haven't had much time to think about it lately...but now I am getting more and more nervous.

What time are you arriving on the 18th?

Just barely checked this. Have we already met lol? I'm at Marriott now. Surgery was ok
