HI to all. I have researched for over a year on this board and others and so many people have helped me through out. I would like thank everyone who have responded and helped me along the way. I am having my surgery in Tiajuana on March 27 by Dr. Ortiz. I have done tons of investigating and have found him to be the most reknowned surgeon around. I can't wait.

If anyone has any suggestions to do before surgery feel free to let me know.

Once again thanks to all!!!!

gLAD YOU HAVE A DATE. I'm sure things will go great. You've picked a great place to have it. Dr. Ortiz runs a first class operation. One thing I will suggest for your trip is to bring along some chicken boullion cubes. There is a restaurant at the Lucerna and the chicken broth is just delicious..........but it costs $6.50 a bowl. Each room has a Mr. Coffee where you can heat the water, so if money is an issue, you might want to bring some boullion.

Hi Queenie! Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! You might want to take a heating pad with you in case you have gas pains in your shoulder. Many bandsters have said it works wonders! Try chewable gas-x too, it worked pretty good for me. Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions.

so exciting! My surgery day is 3/19 and I am still waiting on approval but hopefully that will be all set by then... keep in touch about your progress! Our dates are so close :wink_smile:

Congratulations on getting your date! Let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help and support one another.

congtrats.. good luck

So exciting!! I am going in to have my surgery with Dr Oritz on Feb 27!
