I haven't booked yet but I know my mom would kick and scream and guilt me till I got on the plane and then send me texts. On the other hand My mom In law has had been through bariatric surgery and 100% me and why I don't wanna tell my mom. My husband supports me in this, he just wants me to be happy and I appreciate that. A good friend of mine from high school is maybe 100 lbs soaking wet. She told me her secret was green tea. Yup! That's the secret for it. She has 3 kids and still her thigh is the size of my wrist.. Irritating. My mom and aunt are such weight watchers freaks it's more like a brain washing cult. I'm ready.

I am with you. It is time for me to make decisions for me and not worry what anyone else thinks. Its my life, my mirror l look in everyday, my clothes I try to shop for and my problem. So I will fix it and surgery is my new saving grace. Amen our new life is coming.

I'm going down on 5/21 with my mother and having surgery on 5/22 and returning home on 5/26. I have checked out pictures and review of the hotel on tripadvisor.com. Just search for Tijuana Marriott!!!!! Most of the reviews are four star and up!!!

I have been at the Marriott Tijuana for the last couple of days. The hotel is nice, the bed is comfortable, there are a few (3-4) english speaking channels, and free wi-fi.

They also offer 3 bowls of broth, 2 bottles of Water, and 2 ice pops (watermelon or cantaloupe) each day during your stay. You can get this 24 hours a day at their restaurant or through room service. Also, if you are traveling with someone they get a 15% discount on any of their food. The prices aren't unreasonable $10-$12 per meal.

I just posted a (super long) review of my experience with Dr Garcia and the hospital. Hope it helps! Sorry about the grammer and mis spellings... It was written from my phone and my spell check is goofy!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
