  1. Mommy Makeover at HMN Hospital in Tijuana

    I was originally booked to have my surgery with Dr. Yanez at Hospital Jerusalem on February 8, 2014 in Tijuana. Prior to leaving from my home to come to San DIego I spoke with my patient coordinator and she had advised me that some changes were being made at Hospital Jerusalem since the recent passing of President Andres Betancourt.

    I've been feeling alright....had some problems keeping anything down but I think I'm almost over that now. It's hard to get used to eating in such small bites. Also find it hard to drink all my water every ...
  5. Surgery Day!!!!

    Well it's SURGERY DAY!!! Seems like the days just flew by!! I flew into San Diego with my husband yesterday and on the way over in the shuttle we were with another couple....Joe & Marilyn from Chattanooga. Turns out Joe is here to have the gastric sleeve done too by the same doctor. We are going to all be taking the shuttle back to the airport and then riding to Tijuana together. It was such a coincidence!!

    It's 6:00AM here in San Diego in 2 hours we will leave from here to ...
