I am going down to Mexicali for a face lift. I am going to be able to stay with a board friend
who ended up being a IRL friend because I used to spend so much time with her when I visited
my dad in Phoenix. Also I get to meet Dannielle , nursie girl. She will be arriving a couple of
days befoe I leave.

My surgery date is 5-20 but I will get there around 5-14 to have some fun before surgery. I m
excited to go back to Mexicali!

I just hope I don't come home looking like a freak!

I don't get to go until the middle of May. I am excited though. I'll have Dr. Campos check my sleeve
and do all my bloodwork too.

How do the prices compare to the states? My surgeon told me to go get my consultation. There's a great Kaiser PS that works in Marin County. He came to one of our support group sessions and I really liked him. He promised no wind tunnel results. That scares me too! Do you know people who have gone with your surgeon? How cool that you'll get to meet Dani while you're down there.

I'd rather stay in country because I want so many things done, but I'm considering another country. My son worked on a documentary in Venezula and knows the PS's that operate on the Miss Venezula pageant candidates. I asked him to find out what they would charge me if I went down there. Zach filmed the results of the surgeries and it looks like they know what they're doing.
