I arrived Sunday morning around 10am and I was picked up immediately by the driver. I would guess that is was about a 30 minute ride from the airport to the hotel. The driver got me checked into my room at the hotel and gave me his number to call if any questions. I went out and did a little street shopping on Sunday afternoon and then went to bed early Sunday evening as they picked me up at 8am on Monday morning and took me to the Hospital. I had all of my preop, and my scope as I had a lapband that was removed and then the sleeve performed. The cardiologist came into my room and did the EKG and said everything looked good. They did my blood work and when all was back and my scope was done I was cleared for surgery and went that same day.
I was released Wednesday afternoon back to the hotel. I know that some people have gone back to San Diego and stay in the US for a couple of days before flying home. This way if you should have a problem you are close and not half way across the country. I stayed in Tijuana at the hotel Wednesday night and Thursday night and on Friday morning around 8 am Hector came and picked me up at the hotel to take me back to the San Diego airport to catch my flight back to Iowa. They have a special permit to get you across the border by going into a special line so that you do not have to sit for 2 hours waiting to cross. It was very fast and convenient to have this. I checked in at the airport and waited for my flight to board and then on home. Any other questions you might have just ask.
