I am staying at hotel Lucerna (sp?) and apparently that is absolutely lovely. 4.5 - 5 stars.

Yes double check with the actual hospital because my patient care coordinator said it shouldn't be a problem at all but apparently he was wrong!

This was from Clinica San Juan (I am seeing Dr Ramos Kelly) "The sanitary authorities in Mexico do not let us babies in the hospital, and for this, we cannot let one baby in the room, please, I ask you that understand it. But, considering the request of the patient, we can to let her, 15 minutes of visit in the morning and 15 minutes of visit in the afternoon only, NO MORE TIME PLEASE." And from Angeles Hospital: "Each room is private, with a daybed to accomodate your husband, if he is able to come with you. Infants and children are not allowed to stay with, or visit, during your stay. It is only 2 nights, and you may fly in on the same day as your surgery, as long as your flight is in by 10am."

I have a 6 month old baby and inquired about having her with us (and my husband ) but unfortunately the sanitary authorities don't allow children or babies in their hospitals. So the best they could offer me was 2 x 15 minute visits each day... that was a clinic. The Angeles hospital said no visits at all. So if you take your babies, your husband will basically sit in a hotel room with them and you will still be alone for the duration of the hospital stay... so we have decided it is easier for him to stay home and I go by myself. But there are so many patients around getting the same thing done that you tend to make friends there during your stay.

You've just totally excited me, making me realise I will be able to fit so many more shoes! I have wide feet but that should definitely change.

I'm in Queensland too! I looked at a Weight Loss Clinic on the GC but sooooo crazily expensive. I am going to Mexico instead!

Hi fellow sleevers So the surgeon has approved me for surgery and I will be heading to Tijuana, Mexico in about 5 to 6 weeks! Just have to set the date and I am booked and ready to go! After a lot of research I decided to go with Dr Ramos Kelly. I can't wait! So excited for my next chapter to begin. Is anyone else going to Dr Ramos Kelly or having their VSG surgery around the first week of March?
