Anyone out there headed to Mexico in August?

I start my preop on Aug 7th...nit since in having a colonoscopy on 8/3...I figure since im starving anyway for the test I might as well start pre-op early

What does your packing list look like.

I am a minimalist.

I was just going to bring clothes.

*Flying on an airplane and do not want to be weighed down with nonsense.

That said, I am curious if I need to bring anything for my own comfort or recovery.

I'm going to bring something to make broth with incase I don't like theirs, I'm going to bring my own pillow (my friend said the pillows are terrible) going to bring my iPad to watch movies on. Other than that I think I'll travel minimal too. My friend said to take comfy pants that aren't right around your tummy at all. When are you arriving Harleyguy? Who's your surgeon?

Sunshine ????

Oops just read your above post....lol

We'll have to keep in touch Mike, I'm seeing Dr A too! He did my friends surgery and she is very happy!

Who is Dr. A?

Hi sunshine72, nice to meet you, I'm Dr A. I don't have you booked and I think we haven't skype or Facetime either. Would you like to have a free consult with me?

She's seeing Dr Almanza ... Yikes

I guess there is more than on Dr A, I'm seeing Dr. Almanza....????

What exactly is with the "yikes" comment?

Per the other user on page one.. check out this link on Dr. Almanza. You really should reconsider. Also, BariatricPal pulled him as a recommended doctor and is no longer affiliated with him. Really not a smart move.

If you watch these videos and don't think twice about going to Almanza-God be with you. I'm sure the story is going to get worse for this guy.

Ana Tellez -

You listed several items that someone should bring with them.

Is there a list of items that you can send me.

You have my email.

Thanks.
