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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
