    Default Impatiently waiting for surgery

    I am in Tujuana. Got here yesterday. Did all the pre op testing yesterday. Well, it is now 3:38pm and I am still waiting to have surgery. OMG! I am going nuts. I am actually getting pissed. I don't understand what the issue is. I had to be here at 10 am. There are 4 of us getting sleeved and I don't think they have even started yet.

    Dr. Garcia also teaches at the University, I'm assuming it's earlier in the day because my surgery was at 6:30 p.m.

    Good to know about Dr. Garcia not starting until later in the day, that way I can be prepared to WAIT. LOL. Wonder how he chooses the order that you go in? Any tips to get in first that day? I haven't run into any one else on this website that is having surgery that same day as I am but I am sure they are out there. Can't wait ..... 9 days!

    I was sleeved in Mexico a coupke of weeks ago, and I found that most everything was really casual around time issues. In America, we expect things to happen on time. In other countries, it's no always as prompt.
