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

Is this ok? I just drank an 11 oz slim fast. Only 2 weeks out. Feel fine.

Am I still the only one on this site going to get sleeved on Oct 22nd, with Dr. Ponce?????

Was scheduled for Oct 19.. Now moved to Feb. 28, 2013

Thanks I'm done and all I have is heartburn, Dr Lopez found a hole in my esophagus and 30% of my stomach was in my chest cavity. Holy crap. He fixed it thank God.

Told me if it wasn't fixed within 2 years I probably would of gotten esophageal cancer , kind of puts thing in perspective. But I'm done healthy and it's wonderful in PV

Hey, that's cool--you'll get a little more time to prepare! Glad you're still on the sleevers list;-)

Erp kind of stressful when the coordinator doesn't seem to remember booking you on a certain date! Hoping it was just a misunderstanding and I'm all set to go on the 28th, if not then I guess I might be going in for surgery on the 29th... which isn't a huge deal but my flight home is the 31st and that's one less day to recover before flying, argh! Hope it works out.

Ugh that stinks, I emailed my coordinator last week to just check in.

Ugh yep, she has me down for the wrong day. I'm not sure what to do. I have several emails from her where she confirms that I'm having surgery on the 28th, and now suddenly she's basically saying that we always agreed on the 29th. So I have 1 less day to recover which just makes me feel oh so much more secure in my decision to fly to Mexico for surgery because I have to come home a whole day early

I'm so sorry but honestly I'd prefer to be home recuperating. Which doc if you don't mind me asking, u can private message me.

I'm with Jaime Ponce de Leon, this is no error of his though, this is a breakdown in communication with the coordinator I guess!

I would honestly rather be at home recuperating too but, we're talking about the difference of a night in a hotel and a night at home, not a night in the hospital and a night at home. I'd still be doing the 2 nights at the hospital, I'd just get no hotel stay. It would have been nice to have a stress free day in a real bed to recuperate before having to spend all day flying (Leave San Diego at 11am and get home at midnight, blech!)

My issue is that If they felt it was safe to let everyone go home after only 2 nights, then why wouldn't they do that to everyone? If they make everyone stay an extra night in a hotel it must be for a reason, that's what worries me.
