Hi. I'm flying to San Diego Friday. Just wondering if anyone else would be there at the same time?? My surgery is with Dr. Garcia.

Everything actually went great. I had watched so many YT vids it felt like I had been there before lol. The only thing I found different was that there was much more of a language barrier in the hospital than I'd expected. A couple of the nurses spoke no English. It wasn't a problem just made me feel very alone ( my mom flew into San Diego, but I crossed the border alone ) Everyone was very nice and accommodating from the hospital, to the hotel, down to the drivers. It was well organized and definitely changed my whole perception of Tijuana.

As for healing I am feeling somewhere between 85%-90%. Im in almost no pain. Yesterday made a week so I'm happy with that! The all liquids post op, had me really weak at first. Today was the first day I've left the house for errands and such. Luckily I'm a teacher so I have a little extra time to get back to normal. I'm going to a wedding tomorrow, but Sunday I WILL revisit the gym.

Hw was 265 sw was 255 today a week later I'm 245!

... lol I hope I answered something. I feel this was all over the place. I took many pics and vids, I will try to have them on yt soon. I'll keep you posted. Let me know if there is anything else you'd like to know.
