  16. Dont worry about the crime, there is crime everywhere and not one time did I feel afraid and I traveled alone. I walked to walmart bymyself and wasnt scared at all...I have been in places in the US that I was afraid of and would never venture out alone!!..I stayed at the Mariott and it is very safe and secure. You will not be in places where you need to worry...Relax and enjoy the ride..!!

  22. I was still tired and week at that time and If I stood up to fast or sometimes when I bent over i got dizzy...Just get your fluids in and rest!!...I had Dr Garcia also and I went on full liquids day 4?? 0-3 was clear..4-17 full...then pureeds forntwo weeks then softs for 2 weeks...strange that we have different diets from the same Dr.
  23. I never felt ignored with ready 4 a change....they were only a phone call away. I would prefer to Not have someone stopping by 2 to 3 times a day seeing me, if I needed them I would call. The marriott shuttle was very comfortable and no wait, they were very sweet and professional. Everyone at Ready 4a change bent over backwards to assist in any way they could. Samuel the driver was wonderful, picked me up at airport as soon as I landed and it only took us 1 hout to cross the boarder back to the states. Rosie came to see me at the hotel and called, Melie at the hospital, i seen her everyday...I never once felt ignored but taken very good care of. I would recommend ready 4 a Change to anyone!!
  24. I had surgery 8/21 with Dr garcia and went thru ready4achange and I LOVED THEM!!! BVery happy with all of them!!
  25. I had surgery with Dr Garcia on 8/21 and like everyone else that has posted, i couldnt have asked for better care or treatment!!...Everyone that was invilved were WONDERFUL!!!..I am so very happy that I chose Dr Garcia and his team!!...I am a Nurse and I traveled alone. I would love to send some of my fellow nurses there to learn good patient care!!...I had them lock up my wallet while I was there just for my own comfort and I got it back with everything intact as I knew I would right before I left the hospital...you will LOVE your experience in TJ Mexico!!
  26. Please share everything with us...and I pray you are doing wonderfully!!!
  27. Yes....That counts!!.....being a nursing student and going thru this....YES!!! you need a good support group!!!
