I was a bit nervous about the surgery Especially since I had to travel to a nother country to have it done... Everyone has a horror story. I arrived on a Thursday evening and it was to late to have my pre-surgical testing done so Ihad that done the same day of. Everyone was very nice and answered any questions... helps that I speak fluent Spanish. The day of surgery your picked up from the Hotel and taken to do your pre-surgery then off to the hospital where your preped for surgery. The doctor comes with a translator to speak to you as a group and explains the procedure and what's about to happen. Dr. Almanza takes pictures with each of his patients before surgery. Then they take you to surgery where the anesthesiologist gives you medication and before you know it your back in the room recovering. The healing time should be taken seriously! I decided to go back to work and I know everyone heals differently cause my incisions opened up...(day 14) I have already lost 15lbs since the surgery. Looking forward to this new start... I am thankful I had the opportunity to do this....New begining is what I say...
