Flying out to Mexico tomorrow for my surgery and the nerves are kicking in!
I had surgery in MX on Jan. 21 and I was a nervous wreck, as was my husband who went with me. I even thought about writing a goodbye letter to my son "just in case". But to get through it, I thought about the reasons I needed to do this and if I didn't do it, I was going to die early anyway. Everything with surgery went fine, and even though recovery has been very hard, I am happy with my decision and I think you will be too. Good luck and keep us posted!
I feel the same, my surgery is Tuesday. I've updated all my 3 kids' baby books and journaled to them and got before pics and measurements. I think I'm ready but definitely nervous and I'm sure the day of I'll be bawling because I don't want to die and leave my babies without a mom. I have 3 kids 8, 6 and almost 2 so I'm scared to death. So we are in the same boat. I'm sure we'll both be fine but these feelings are completely normal. Good luck I'll be praying your surgery and the travel goes perfectly and I'll see you back here afterwards :) Hugs
My wife and I both had surgery in Mexico on September 1.
We drove from South Carolina to Atlanta. We flew from Atlanta to San Diego. From there their driver picked us up and drove us to Mexicali, Mexico. After surgery we were driven back and flew home.
We left South Carolina on a Saturday, flew out on Sunday, operated on on Monday, flew home on Thursday, and we were back home on Friday.
Mexico was fine. Everyone at the hotel spoke English. Everyone at the hospital (except one night nurse) was fluent or close to it. The hospital was cleaner than ANY I've seen in the U.S.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
