Hi !
I just read your comment . You sound so much like what I'm going through right now. I just sent my pics to Cardenas for a quote. I'm very nervous about having surgery in TJ. However, my good friend has had work done with Cardenas and is very pleased. How were your results, your experience? Please let me how it went ?

I'm at BCRH now and I was really concerned I under packed but honestly, they have EVERYTHING here. I just packed basic toiletries, a Boppy (for FG), and lounge clothes (sweat shorts, yoga pants, tanks, a sports bra) and entertainment (iPad w/Netflix). Don't over think the packing, they've got everything you could need here. :)

A Boppy is that half circular pillow that women use for breast feeding but ill be using to sit my swollen, crabby ass on. :) Google it and you can see pictures...Fatimeh recommended I bring it and will probably do the same for you once you get your pre-op instructions.
