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!

January 17 with Dr Ismael Cabrera and Dr Valenzuela. Less then 3 weeks away and Just started the pre op diet.

Please let everyone know your experience after you go. I'm especially interested since these are the doctors I chose! Enjoy the preop diet!

I'll post after I get back home. Spending a couple extra days in San Diego before going home. Post something on the 24-25

Just got back to Canada last night after surgery with dr.garcia. He was fantastic and his team of doctors etc were the best. Mi hospital was very nice. You guys have made the right choice going with dr.garcia. And the Marriott hotel is beautiful with nice staff. Good luck everyone

Thanks Kim! I really appreciate your feedback and reassurance! Do you mind telling me who your coordinator company was? Was your experience with them also good?

Yes our co-ordinator was a lighter me, but while we were there dr.garcia stated that he no longer does surgeries for that co-ordinator but you can still book him through ready for a change.

I'm actually arriving in TJ on the 25th and having surgery the same day. I live in San Diego so I am able to bypass the hotel before and after. I will just spend the 2 days in the hospital.

I'm scheduled for VSG at Mi DOCTOR in TJ on February 22nd. I'm scheduled to fly out on the 21st. I'm very interested in hearing the experiences of others. Very nervous as I will be traveling alone.

Tomorrow nite I will be able to say....'i am having surgery next month'
