So I am booked for my sleeve in Tijuana on July 29. I am trying to decide if I should bring my camera or not. I am an aspiring photographer, with a fairly costly (well, in my eyrs at least) bunch of gear. I am struggling because I am certain there will be amazing things to see, but am worried something (someone actually) may happen to my camera.

Did you feel safe and secure with your belongings? I dont want to miss any amazing opportunities, but I cant afford to buy new gear!

This is so great to hear!

I hadn't seen a post from you since you were scheduled for surgery so I was a bit worried!

Did you get a chance to take some photos while you were in Mexico? How did it go?

No, I opted not to bring my good camera. I didn't anticipate feeling as awesome as I did (was shopping the day after surgery for trinkets for my kids). That's ok. I will be going back for boobs eventually LOL I can take it then!

The trip was nice, I woke up from surgery feeling fairly groggy and dizzy. But once that passed (a few hours), I felt WAY better than I expected.

Out of the 4 who were done the same day as me, the 4 or 5 that were done the day before, and the 5 who were done the day after only 1 was feeling sick for the first few days. I think I was the perkiest and most energetic though.

Glad to hear you had such a good recovery.

By the way, I downloaded the Camera Plus app to my phone and have been playing with it a little bit.
