Just Wondering About Tijuana...



Recommended Posts

I brought small bills (nothing over $20) and almost all places took it. I did get pesos back in change though. I used my cc for any bigger purchases (shopping, haircut, etc.).

Every place we went in tj took us dollars. They will help you figure the pesos which changes daily. Everyone was so honest! We went to the 7 eleven, shopping, my fiancé ate at dominios, taco stands, hospital, hotel, and all had American money! It's so close to the us it's almost second nature for all mexicans. And I was impressed with all that spoke englih. Don't take independent cabs, and don't go out after dark.

Tia you've probably told me already but when are you headed to TJ?

As of now, I'm going in mid December. I haven't set an exact date yet. I really hope I find a buddy from this site because it looks like I'm riding solo :(

Tia I did not have a buddy until two weeks before my surgery and when I got there I had two more buddies that Dr Ponce was doing surgery on but where scheduled by a different coordinator and don't come to the forums. So by then you will probably have someone

      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!
