I too was sleeved by Dr. Garcia in Tijuana, MX on Oct. 30th 2012. My experience with everything was pretty positive!!! The Mariott Hotel is very nice and the staff that works there are VERY friendly! Arriving at the hospital, Mi Doctor, I was a little surprised at how small the hospital was, but quickly didn't care because it definitely was a hospital, was clean, and the staff was wonderful! My only negative comment is the room they put us in was the back corner room. It was large and clean and had two beds, one for me and my husband, and our own bathroom... they only thing negative about it was that the only window in the room was facing an alley which let in NO sunlight... all the other rooms had nice big windows and made the room feel more inviting. That's my only complaint. :)

I would highly reccomend Dr. Garcia... he took his time explaining the procedure and answered any questions we had. The other doctors and staff were very pleasant too. I guess I lucked out and was the only paitient on the floor, so I got all the attention... it was very quiet.

My recovery after the hospital was spent at the Mariott which was lovely!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
