I arrived in Tiajuana excited but with a lot of anxiety. However, I trusted the team and put myself in their hands. Dr.Almanza and Dr Lopez and thier surgical team and aftercare nurses are excellent. I can't say it was easy, I would suggest taking a friend or family member with you for emotional support. I didn't do that and I experienced more anxiety I think because I was alone. Like any hospital experience it wasn't perfect , as an American nurse I felt more disorientation because nursing styles are different in Mexico. But trust me when I say the network of nurses and doctors pull it all together and you leave Mexico a brand new you. They do know what they are doing and the system works. It's only been 16 days but this is the best thing I have done for myself in years. I don't regret one minute of discomfort. I'm so proud of myself for not listening to all the nay Sayers who are now looking at me green with envy! Have courage and trust life! You can do it!
