how long did it take to get surgery date?
For my RNY I was in the hospital for 2 1/2 days and then I had a private nurse come to where I was staying once a day for 4 days.
I got bored and lonely (don't underestimate the emotional side of this journey) but physically I was fine alone. If you can bring someone (Mother, friend) bring them you'll be glad you did. Seriously my one regret re: Mexico would be not having someone with me and cell phone charges are HIDEOUS BTW LOL so it's one less person to call.
