Hi. I had my surgery on October 6, 2016. After 3 long years of battling my insurance company I made the decision to pay for it myself and travel to Mexico. I was very nervous about going to another country but after reading all the testimonials and having several chats on line with agents, I became more comfortable with it. I traveled alone but was never alone. The staff was wonderful! From the first moment of getting into the van, then traveling to Mexico I was with 3 other travelers, then being dropped off at the hospital for my blood work. After that we were taken to the hotel which was a lot nicer than I expected it to be. I shared a room with someone I did not know but it was fine. I hardly slept that night. In the morning the driver came and got us very early to go to the hospital and we were checked in. The hardest part was waiting my turn. It seemed to take forever! But once in the operating room I was ready. The doctors and everyone was so nice and reassuring. After surgery I was taken to a room to recover. I shared a room with one other lady. The staff was fantastic and accomidating. I felt like I was being very well taken care of. After 24 hours we were taken back to the hotel to finish our 3 days of recovery. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. The nurses were very nice and whatever I needed was taken care of. Plenty of broth, jello and apple juice was provided. My advice to anyone coming down for the surgery would be this: When you hear people talk about "walk and sip, sip and walk" DO THIS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! The great thing is that the weather there is fabulous so being outside is wonderful. The hotel has security, so I felt very safe walking the grounds there. The more you walk, the faster you heal! This is no joke. Just 7 days post op I am back to work! Because I walked all the time. It helps get all that gas out of your belly. I am down 15 pounds and am on the downhill slide to better health! I cant wait to be exercising in a few weeks. Right now I take a 30 minute walk everynight after work and walk as much during the day that I can. Sure I am tired, but that will pass. It is a small inconvienince to the reward of being healthy! Do not wait any longer. Schedule your surgery now!
