South of the Border

Okay Guys, I am heading to Mexico tomorrow!! Its the big day on Wednesday. I will have my laptop with me, and the house I am staying at for recovery has wireless internet, so I will post a lot and copy what I post on the plastic surgery journeys board here too, in case anyone wants to read. I am SOOOOO Nervous, but its like when we were kids and it was Christmas Eve!! Tuesday I am having a dental appointment, and I hear they take American Dental Insurance, so maybe I can get my fillings changed from silver to white and fix a cracked tooth?? If insurance pays.....Delta Dental. So, I am paying for ZOOM bleaching, and its only 198.00 for cash or 220.00 for credit or debit card. Its Pacific Dental and I heard they are going to open an office in San Diego in the spring, so they must be set up for insurance. So, I am leaving tomorrow and Tommy is driving me to the border, and then Alex, the driver will pick me up on the USA side, and take me to my Pre Op appointment. I had my initial consult way back in OCT, so tomorrow is to just go over everything again, plus I had the other surgery and I have lost more weight, so I want to just make sure things are good. Then after my appointment for my pre op I am going to Hacienda Mariposa, the recovery house. The driver there is Francisco, and he takes you all over TJ for appointments and such. I am just SOOO Excited!! Wed. at 7:30 am is my surgery and then I will spend the night at the clinic and after that, I will go back to the house for the rest of the wee****il the 18th. I am SO excited and ready to get rid of all this skin!! What I am not excited about is the incision all the way around my body, but hey, small or big price to pay for all I have been through and to get my body back!! Love you guys!! I will post more after I arrive, and keep a journal Deb!!
