    Default Friday is the day!

    Hello, I have my surgery Friday! I'm excited and nervous! I'll be travelling to Tijuana Mexico for my surgery. Dr. Almanza will be doing it. I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my life. A much healthier chapter of my life!

    He was very nice. The staff is very kind. I think you will do fine. The nice thing is they don't give you a bunch of pain meds. So you can get moving right after.

    I loved Dr Almanza, The staff at the hotel and hospital were outstanding including the drivers. Couldn’t have ask for a better outcome. You will get top notch care. We could walk all around the hotel and hospital, area nice and safe. one of the drivers even took a group of us shopping on day 3. We had a good time. Happy to answer any questions. Good luck.

    Thank you so much Cody. I been very sick and had togo to the doctor so i had to wear them and take a pic,Wish i could have done my makeup and hair. I could never fit wide calf boots either or if they did they just didn’t look right. I was just to fat. Cant wait to get well, Ordered them online after my recent surgery, I was lucky they had measurements and good reviews i could go by. Macys had a great sale. Bought three pairs of shoes, cute heels to go with my dresses and ankle boots with a heel. Been a long time since I enjoyed fashion.

    Hi Stacey, you are in a great area for Fashion. I’m so jealous. It won’t be long before your ready. Looks like you lost a lot of weight before your surgery, That is great how well your doing, especially someone who recently had surgery.
