Anyone having surgery in Tijuana in January 2017? Mine is scheduled at Hospital CER on 01/11/2017 with Dr. Fernando Garcia. Nervous and excited! Anyone getting sleeved around that time frame? Any personal experiences with Dr. Garcia and/or CER? Any info is appreciated!

There is a Facebook group called January 2017 Sleevers. I really like it! Really nice people and helpful info! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you have a 401k at work? If so, you can borrow from that. Not a premature withdrawal but a loan. Really low interest and your paying yourself back through payroll deduction. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

For those that mentioned Tijuana, who's your doctor? Dr Fernando Garcia is doing my sleeve 1/11/17. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello! My sleeve surgery is scheduled 1/11/17. I am scheduling when to close on my existing home and move into our new home. I'm a single Mom of a 12 year old which leaves more of the responsibility to me. I'll hire movers and will have the help of friends and family, but will still need to unpack. Realistically when will I feel up to this? I'd like to move mid March, 9 weeks after surgery. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 44, and haven't yet shared with my dad for the same reason. I understand! My doctor said the risks of these things being a possibility are less of a concern than what is our current daily risks from obesity. Diabetes, sleep apnea, heart disease, etc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes, great job! What was the time frame between surgery and 65 pound loss? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Kharvey2021 I drove through Bastrop yesterday! My brother is in Austin and I work in San Antonio, so we run the same highways!

I'm not getting sleeved until 1/11/17, but I live in Boerne, TX which is 30 miles west of San Antonio. Where on Tx do you live? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is scheduled for 1/11/17, so I haven't been yet, but through MUCH research I chose Dr. Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics. He has done 8000+ sleeves, great reviews, and does the procedure in a hospital that is new, and has an accredited ICU just in case there is complications. $4490 includes transportation to and from airport, 3 nights at Tijuana Marriot (1 is night before surgery), 2 nights hospital, and a dietician we will always have access to. I have been super impressed with Lanelle, his patient coordinator. Answered a ton of questions, a sleeve patient herself losing 116, and made it easy to complete scheduling. Hope that helps!
