MiDoctor Hospital (any surgeon!) 2013 Roll Call!

Thought we could do a roll call for upcoming 2013 surgeries at MiDoctor Hospital in TJ. I figured it could help us link up while we are in TJ. I am with Dr. Garcia on 1/22 and will arrive at the Marriott on 1/21. I'm going through Ready 4 a Change. Also if any past patients want to chime in, I'm sure we'd all love to hear about your progress!

That's awesome. Mine is the 11th at MiDoctor. I'm flying to san diego the 10th early in the day so I can sight see!

I just changed to Florence/Oasis hospital with Dr Garcia, I was concerned with overcrowding at MIDoctor and having to share a room so Melissa from R4AC offered Florence. They also told me I can have same day surgery even though I am arriving in the afternoon so I have opted for that route. April 12th!! Maybe I will see you at the Marriot EMSJen?

I am booked to have surgery with Dr. Garcia at MI Doctor Hospital on May 7, but considering switching to the 6th to have same day surgery.

Hmmm didnt know dr garcia work out of two hospitals. Is florence close to mi doctor?

quite possible! whats the difference between the 2 hospitals? I know the 10th w/ garcia was completely booked, so I took the 11th.

I'm assuming you had your wls already and hope everything went well' date=' but if it helps any one else ill still answer your question, the meds that are needed for us specifically are given to us in a care package for free example pain and antibiotics and some liquid to help heal the stomach lining faster

But if you want meds for other things or some one else then the driver will take you, I booked thru alighterme and Abraham took us to a pharmacy he knows with great prices (I priced out other places b4 I went to where he took us) and I got penicillin 100 pills 500mg for 20, amoxicillin 100 pills 500mg for 25, phentermine 30 pills 30mg for 30, penicillin ointment jar 3, and pretty much any med you need they have and if you forgot your prescription they will wright one out for you for free so that you can get it across the border no questions asked
