Question:
IS ANYONE ELSE GOING TO ENSENADA,MEXICO?
Hi, I'VE GOT A DATE!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'am going to Ensenada,Mexico to have my surgery with Dr. Aguirre on 5-1-03!!! I was wondering if anyone else has been to him? Is anyone else going to him? I was told Ensenada is a big tourist area. I'am only paying 6,900.00 + travel. I'am real nervous and would love to hear from any one about this!!! OH,I wanted to thank Latrisha Nickle for posting all the information on her profile. AWESOME profile you guys should read it it's very interesting, and was a life saver for me! Thanks Latrisha — Kari P. (posted on March 21, 2003)

Hello Kari~ I guess I don't have to tell you what I think about Dr.Aguirre!
Thank you so much for the compliment on my Profile. Your just a sweetheart!
I'am so glad you finally confirmed your date!!! Of course I'll let you know
how everything goes with me. I'am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY for you, I know
how depressed you've been the last couple of months and I am so happy my
profile helped you. It made all the effort I put in it worth it! We are not
long now from being on the losing side! Man, does that sound good or what?

I am so excited for all three of you. As you know I went to Dr. Aguirre in
January 2003 and can't say enough about him. I hope you like him as much
as I do. Best wishes and please keep us posted on your progress. I agree
- Latrisha has done a great thing in getting the word out about self-pay
options. I hope Dr. Aguirre can keep up with all the requests he is
getting for surgery!! Lisa (1-17-03 open RNY Dr. Aguirre; down 50!!

I wish the best for both of you having surgery in Mexico. Has the doctor
given you things to do on the airplane trip home to prevent blood clots?
After surgery we are at risk anyway but I think the altitude can have an
effect also. I know you'll keep us posted.

Sarah~ I'am going to talk to Dr.Aguirre about this and ask can I keep the
wrappings that he uses in the hospital to prevent this from happening
before your up and walking, also I know I will need to walk back and fourth
to the restroom just so I can be moving around, now I'am flying all the way
to Florida and it's only a 5 hour flight so I think we will be alright as
long as we move around some. I know when I was going to drive to Arkansas
to have it done I was told by Dr.Gibbs office that I would need to walk
around the car once an hour and that was going to be a 12 hour trip.

Kari...........Good luck on your trip!!!!! I too will be going to Mexico,
but I am going in June. I am very impressed with Dr Aguirre, he is quick
to answer all emails and has put me at ease. He was not my first
choice....but due to things at work my first choice did not work
out...since then I found Dr Aguirre and feel that someone was up above and
I was meant to have surgery with Dr Aguirre. You will be in very qualified
hands and I will keep good thoughts comming your way on your journey!!!!
email me privately if ya wanna chat... Good luck!!!!!! Jennifer

Kari, I have also read and spoken with that lovely angel Latrisha and have
chosen Dr. Aguirre as my surgeon. I was hoping to have my surgery on
5/1/03 as well so I'll have to see if he can do 2 in one day?? But we'll
be there together if he can. How cool is that?!?! Well good luck and
congratulations on making an educated choice of surgeons.

Hey Guys, I just wanted to tell you that if you're flying after surgery you
might have some unexpected swelling. When I flew back home from PS in MX
(about 4 1/2 hours home) I had some swelling that seemed to come from
nowhere. I was 6 days post op at that point but immediately following the
flight I felt much more swollen and I stayed that way for probably a good
week as I recall. I didn't expect it and hadn't been experiencing it so
think it must be from them adjusting the pressure in the cabin. Having a
plane change part way home I went through it twice. Just a "heads
up" for you guys. And good luck to all of you!!
