    Mexico anyone?

    I also took lots of small denominations, 20's, 10's, 5 & 1's, so I could buy from the vendors on the streets. They love it! It felt good to share some good with them who work so hard. The first time I went, I ran out of money and felt bad. This last November I made sure I had plenty. Hope you have a good time!

    I tip the hotel maid every day $5 Every day at least. I tip the drivers and the wait staff We got a very nice thank you note from our motel maid. They make such little money I heard that the nurses at the hospital only make $29 a day . I am sure the wait staff makes very little and a small tip can make their day. This was in Tijuana Mexico

    Who were you tipping?
  4. I could not imagine going alone. Lucky for me my husband was supported from the beginning. I just made sure that he had fun and I bought two extra nights the hotel so you can stay there instead of the hospital. We took lots of fives and $10 bill so that we could so he could have fun and go wherever he wanted. Actually try to make it about him so that it was fun for him. As it turned out I was very groggy and I really needed his help especially on the return flight. I can imagine going without a companion it was really nice.

    I returned yesterday from my sleeve surgery in Tj Mexico. Went with sis a year prior and vowed I would never do that. When I found myself out of control I made the decision to get sleeved myself. My sleeve was on November 6. While the surgery was not fun, it wasn't bad and zipped by. and I am back home. glad I did it. I am looking forward to a life of healthy eating. I am 60 years old and my BMI wasn't very high I actually gained weight so I would have a high enough BMI I went in at 5'4 & 177.9. returned weight 180. That's normal due to the IV fluids this morning I lost 3 pounds. I know I will be happy in the end it's a different culture down there but they treat you really really well and they know what they're doing. it's like assembly line so you just go in and do what they tell you to do and you're done before you know it. We stayed at the Hyatt place and it was gorgeous! They help makes very little money. We took a wax of $5 and ripped like crazy. It felt good. I was worried about insurance but everyone told me I wouldn't need it and they were right. at 60 years old I am in prime health and everything went very very smoothly.
