I honestly do not know where to begin. So I will start at the beginning. I was unsure if I should go to Mexico for my surgery. Someone called me and we talked there was no pressure it was all up to me. It was and will be my decision to make. One day later, after looking around on the website, I was in.I was ready to do it. I paid my deposit and began the 10 day pre-op diet. There was a little confusion on what I could eat, one agent said YES you can the other said NO. Then the day came to leave for Mexico. when we got to the airport There was a few others waiting for the van.the driver arrived with a smile and loaded us into the van. introductions all around and off we go. We went directly to the hotel. the next day was the day. Off to bed and up the van was waiting and we went to the hospital. I really was getting nerves now, what would it be like, did I make the right decision. The van door opened and up the stairs I went, my Heart racing. then it stopped, a smiling face was waiting for us. Off for blood work and an ekg and prep for surgery. I was taken down when I woke to a nurse asking me how I feel. I never wanted for anything. they looked after me like I was a queen. I am so happy I made the decision to go. the next day Off to the hotel to recover a little more. The nurse and doctor are the best answered all my questions. We went to another place to have the x-ray it was like a second opinion that the surgery went well. The driver even took us the the markets and stayed with us the whole time. Four days later I was on my way home.
To sum it up It was the best decision I ever made. Thank you to the team of Doctors Nurses and drivers.
