Well, im setting here at Mi hospital in Tijuana watching the OKC Thunder vs LA Lakers basketball game. My wife and I got sleeved yesterday by Dr. Garcia. Our surgeries went great. The staff at the hospital are second to none. First class. We get to go back to the hotel tomorrow around 11am.

We have never been treated as good as we are down here, at the hospital and the Marriott. The care that is given is so much better than anywhere we've ever been. It's unbelievable.

It's very important to walk as soon as you can after surgery, this helps with gas pains. All of the doctors and nurses will stress this. It's also very important to follow and be strict on your pre op diet! The smaller your liver is, the easier it is for the doctors to do their thing without complications.

Tijuana is a cool city, haven't seen any violence and have never felt scared for our safety.

If you are considering going to Tijuana for your surgery, please know that it is safe and you will receive great care.

Have you tries eggs yet? We're going camping tomorrow & it's on my menu

Made some egg salad yesterday. My wife and I tolerated it just fine. I've read that a lot of people have a hard time with them. We also made tuna salad with mayo. That went down great too. So far, I haven't had anything that didn't settle well.

You are welcome and all the best.

I just got back home late last night from Tj with Dr. Garcia and had a wonderful experience. I would have to echo everything Jeff said in his original post....it was like he was telling my story. The care, the greatness of the hotel and the bed. I literally felt like I was with family at the hospital. My husband was with me and knows a little spanish enough to communicate better than I could and more times than not he was giving the nurses English lessons and it was so funny to hear them and we would all laugh.....it was just a nice, peaceful trip.

Thank for sharing your experience with us. I'm so so excited can't wait to get my wls hoping to get it done on October.

I have a question.......I was planning to pay with a credit card do you know if they can do that? I'm going thru Alma @ ready 4 a change. That can help out instead of taking out a loan

I paid for the surgery with a cc. No problems.

Good luck to everyone headed to Mexico or that have recently gone. I was sleeved on May 15th and including my pre-op diet, I've lost 82 pounds!!!

Yes, you can pay with a CC with no problems but be aware there is a 3% fee (to cover theirs) added to the total. But, $150 extra may be worth it to not take out loans
