24 hours post-op
Well I thought that I would come back on here and post my experience down here in Mexico. As most of you know I had to be down here for a few days extra for some additional treatments. Safe to say that I was going bored out of mind just sitting in the hospital room. Well yesterday came and it was finally time for my surgery, and of course this was the first time I had become nervous about the whole surgery. To help my nerves I was making jokes with the surgical team and such and this helped me to relax greatly. I started to get the happy juice and felt myself drift off to lala land. When I woke up again they were transfering me to my bed, I was definately still way to stoned to notice anything. When I did wake up more I had some pain to my stomach area and felt really nauseated. I still have some pretty wicked nausea which at times I feel like its killing me lol currently at 24 hours I still have tons of nausea and very little pain. I have been walking up and down the hallway tons to help with the gas (which is helping rather nicely) I a also trying to take sips of fluid to help with the nausea as I am not sure if my nausea is because of the surgery or if its cause my stomach is so bloody empty and it needed something in it. I hope that tonight I get a good nights sleep and that all goes well for tomorrow as I am supposed to get out of the hospital and go to the hotel (which is very very pretty)
Yeah the pain meds can make you pretty nauseated that's for sure. I am not getting morphine they are giving me Tordol which is an antispasmotic and muscle relaxent. I am feeling way better tonight then what I did earlier today
Thanks for updating Dani. I was thinking about you all day yesterday hoping that all went well, Keep us updated on your progress. I hear their chicken broth is really good. Let us know.

On the fence about self-pay options and if Mexico is the right choice (or scared of that option)? Let my experience (first time ever in Mexico) be your guide. Don't let fear hold you back!
