I thought I would just let you know just how awesome it was to have my OH WLS family with me in Monterrey, while I was having my PS done by Dr. Sauceda.
While I was the no less that 7 OH members were there during the time I had my surgery and recovery. And as you know we are FAMILY.
When you go through something like that you need a friend, someone who understands, who is going through, or is about to.
Could not have been a better location. Even, in the US, you wouldn't have that concetration of OH family.
Because of the free internet at the Hampton Inn, I was able post and catch up on evrything. when I got back to the hotel from surgery and got on the computer, there were over 30 posts wishing me well. WOW
I love you all and think that OH is fantastic,
Bard

I'm so glad you're back and doing so well. I really appreciate your reports from Monterray. When my time comes Dr. Sauceda will definitely be on the Dr.s to Research list!

I am so glad that you had such a positive experience there Bard and that there were so many OH members there getting their PS surgery done. It is good to know that there are places out of the US where you can safely get the surgery that you want and not have it cost you a arm and leg and get the results you want. Hey...some of us don't even get the results we wanted here in the US and Texas no less !!!! Hope you heal nicely and without any problems !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Wow, I didn't know Dr. Sauceda was so popular (with American post-ops) .. In fact, I hadn't even heard of him until your posts, Bard ..

Does Dr. S. speak at any of the OH Events, like some of the other Mexican surgeons do? He might want to think about doing that, assuming he speaks English well, unless, of course, he already has more business than he needs!

Glad your PS worked out so well, btw .. Did any of the lovely senorita**** on you while down there?

You made me LOL, right when I needed it.
I meet Dr. Sauceda at a Seminar given by Dr. Alvarez in San Antionio 2 years ago but that is a great suggestion and I will relay that to him.
About being "hit on" I am a notorious flirt, alway have been, but after my Face, and Neck lift I looked pretty banged up as well as having to wear this compression garment around my face, Not a pretty site.
Here the punchline if you will excuse the pun.
Dr. S was there one morning to pick up a patient, and Of course I'm all Black and Blue and joke that it looked like I had taken a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson, quick as wink Dr. S. says " no, that was me, I did that" and did a little Boxer's footwork shuffle. It was classic. Bard
