I´m at the Hotel Lucerna in TJ  right now, and when my nurse brought in a laptop i wanted to cry tears of joy!!!!!

This morning my sister was driving down to SD to come and our plan as to drive back home tomorrow morning, Dr  came in to see me, and noticed a wound opening and also that i was just draining too much. He said that he just can´t let me go home yet. So
As you can imagine, I am very bummed.......but on the other hand, thankful that this dr is so committed to my care....he and his entire staff. I have a nurse taking care of me, and we eat, sleep, and laugh together. In the midst of professionalism, the is comradery and friendship. They are quick to come to my aid when I cry......they hug me......Dr Q sends protein bars, shakes and Starbucks.....best of both worlds!!

I want to thank all of you, too, from the bottom of my heart, for your thoughts and prayers. It means more to me than you´ll ever know.

More to follow...................all good news!!!! from here on out

Aye Janel.....I can't believe what you're going through. I'm almost feeling guilty about dropping you off in TJ to start with. I so wish the best for you and wondering if this experience makes you wish you never done this? Is your testimonial to others going to deter them?

Like you said, I am looking forward to only good news from here on out. You are still in my thoughts daily.

  Famous 1 

   Love, Nadine

you know i was looking for someone to blame, and was hoping you´d be my scapegoat!!! silly girl, it was my choice.......things happen....Im just glad I´m here with a story to tell.

yes of course there was a few days when i thought that i´d wish i´d never done this i was in so much pain and so scared. But, if i decide to have more work done, Cosmed would still be the place for me. You would not believe how they have gone way way way above and beyond, and there is no doubt in my mind that they are not to blame for anything that happened to me. When Dr Q first saw that my drainage output was not right, he wasted NO TIME changing back into his scrubs and taking care of things. The next day when I had surgery again, it was he, the anesthesisiologist who is head of anesthesiology here and an internal medicine dr, and another bariatric surgeon who all worked on me.

You know my story these past few years......i never ever try to preach, but i tell you......God is good........all the time....in any cir****tances, He was, and still is my Rock.

Hi Janel!  I'm glad to see you posting again.  So sorry about the complications, though.  I, too, feel guilty that we didn't stay with you in Tijuana for your surgery.  I feel so bad that you are down there alone.  Hopefully your sis will be with you tonight.

Oh Janel,

Dr Q and CosMed are truly WONDERFUL! I'm glad Dr Q is keeping a close eye on you as he did me. I know that having my set-back has made me appreciate Dr Q/Joyce and my surgery so much more. I'm glad you know you're in good hands.

Big hugs,
Kim

I'm so happy you're at the keyboard!  You're getting better and better every day, in every way.
I know it's been a difficult haul and I'm glad the doctor and staff are there for your every need!

Hugs!
