I think support from the other people going through this is important, and I want everyone to be able to connect with the people who might be going through this at the same time if you want. So this isn't meant to be more than informative in case you want to message or follow people having surgery in July. If I've made any mistakes I apologize, just message me and I can edit the list There are certainly noticeably busy days! If you'd like to be added msg me, again sorry if I got an incorrect date, I just wanted to try and help because there are a lot of threads about July, and it's fast approaching. Good luck and speedy recovery everyone

Have any July 1-4 people come back to the site to check in? I'd love to hear how everyone is doing! I really need the motivation for my July 10th date. So nervous!

I can let you know tomorrow? my surgery is in the morning, just at flew in a few hours ago. I'm with Dr.Ariel Ortiz with the OCC, for anybody that's curious, Tijuana is a ****-hole, but the Marriott they put you up in is gorgeous! They'll feed you broth, whether you want it brought to your room or served to you in the restaurant so your companion can also eat. There's a wal-mart super close by. The hotel will bring me popsicles and jello anytime, and the bathrooms are nice and big!! Unfortunately the woman I came with who brought her son went to a different hotel because the Marriott is full right now, so I don't have a surgery buddy unless I see her tomorrow.

Congratulations!!!! How exciting!!! Out of curiosity why in Tijuana? Is it that insurance wont cover in US and its less $ there?

I'm from Canada and I was kind of going for something speedy, my province can take years to approve you, but after all is said and done, the Alberta govt program covers it essentially 100%. Privately having it done is around $20,000.Tijuana took 30 days exactly from first phone call to surgery, and I just paid the $9,000 cash.

Good luck! I am so excited for you! I hope you are as calm as you can be tonight and that the surgery goes without a hitch!

Hi everyone, I am 7 days away from surgery! I am getting to the point of impatience. I had a big breakdown on Monday and finally feel a little better! How is everyone coping with the waiting game? It's driving me crazy!

My surgery is Friday. I'm anxious and nervous and in a state of disbelief. Part of me thinks what am I doing and the other part of me is so excited to see the results. I've NEVER had surgery before so that part is a little nerve wracking!! I've been doing a lot of reading-more positive than anything negative. I've cleaned my house from top to bottom, paid all my bills, etc. I want to make sure everything is in order so that I can focus on healing and getting healthier. Good luck!!

Wow! You're sooo close! And yes! I feel the same way! I have scrubbed and re scrubbed the bathroom, in driving my roommates crazy with my incessant cleaning lol

I'm with you I too have been keeping real busy. I do a lot of hands on stuff like Painting, crochet, Canning. Helps time really go by. I Canned 20 lbs of potatoes, Veggie Soup and Zucchini Relish all day Wednesday. We didn't do no cookout or go anywhere. Didn't want to smell all that grilled stuff. We just watched movies and ate sugar free Popsicle. LOL The 12th will be here before we know it.

I am feeling the same as both of you. The 12th can't come fast enough.

July sleevers! How many days are you all requesting!? I'm am only able to take 8 days, I hope that's good enough for healing!!

I'm a teacher so I go back to work on the 28th. I have heard of people being back in less than a week.

Yes! I heard that too! I'm nervous about my commute but I can't take anymore days off! Good luck with your surgery and hope going back to work won't be hard for you.
