Hey there! I want to start a thread of sleevers who are going to Mexico in October. I have found a couple people who have their surgeries scheduled and it's really nice to be in contact with others who may be there around the same time. I'm going to Tijuana for surgery with Dr Garcia October 27. I'll be staying at the Marriott for 3 nights total with 2 days at Mi Doctor hospital for the actual surgery and recovery. If there are others going to Mexico , but not in October, feel free to post also: I've found it so helpful to find others in the same boat as myself...

I'll make a list if there are enough people to generate one. Good luck! We're gonna rock this thing

I'm so sorry to hear this! Thank God you're alive and on the road to recovery! This isn't the first story that I've heard about the band eroding in someone's body.... It's a very scary thought!

If any one is concerned with the IV stick and afraid, I have a suggestion. The day before your surgery drink tons of fluid throughout the day, try to get in at least 1/2 to 1 gal. of water, this will make your veins POP!!! and it will go ooooooh so much easier on you

Good luck tomorrow, mango926...We're all thinking about you:-)

Almost there! Sitting in my hotel room having my broth and popsicle, tomorrow morning its off to Mi Hospital and a new me! Everyone has been so nice and helpful! Samuel called right as we got off our plane and was waiting for us, he even took us on a little driving tour of San Diego since we haven't been in 10+years! The Marriott staff is extremely helpful and so nice! We went to the restaraunt to feed my husband and for me to broth it up, they brought the broth and some jello which somehow tastes better than what we have in the states! Rosie was waiting for us at the hotel and then also came by tonight to see how I was doing and make sure I was ok and ready for tomorrow, she helped answer all my last minute nervous questions she has the sweetest dispostion. Wish me luck tomorrow! I'll post as soon as I can, I hope all of your experiences go as well as mine have so far! See you on the Losers bench!

You got this! I just arrived today the whole is great! I was pretty impressed;) stay calm and keep us posted

I had surgery in Mexico on Oct 7. Great experience. 20 year health professional and impressed by their facilities. Lost 15 lbs already.
