I had my surgery March 13th byDr Fernando Garcia, he is the greatest surgeon! I felt safe in his hands during the surgery.The hardest thing to deal with was the darn drain.Right now I am downstairs in the marriot in the computer room. I highly recommend Dr Garcia. Also recommend staying at the marriot in tijuana they treat you like royalty here. :wub:

congrats! hope you have a speedy recovery!

Congrats I had my surgery with him too 2/27/13 let me know if u need anything

Hey... So good to hear from you!! I will be there next week!! Any suggestions or recommendations for those going after you??

I hope your doing great!!

My biggest recommendation is to ASK for what you want. They don't just bring you drinks you have to ask for them. Also I went by myself so when just out of surgery and I was still very tired and not wanting to walk a lot, I asked the nurse to come and remind me to walk. Which she did gladly. Also you sometimes have to ASK what is going on, what you can have, what's happening next, etc.

If your drain does not have a clip ask for one so you can clip to your clothes so it does not swing.. when it swings around it kind of hurts.

Bring earplugs. The traffic outside is loud and they're constantly honking their horns.

mine is with Dr. Lopez and Ortiz, did you meet either of them? or meet anyone who had them as surgeons??? I'm starting to really get nervous!!! I am glad all went well for you, mine will also be at MI hospital and I will be stayin at the Marriott...

Dr. Luna is coming today to remove my staples and not sure what time he is coming so i was asked to not leave the hotel...great...i'm in room 202. Call me and we can walk the halls together!!!! Yes, everyone remember to ask for what you want like Water, juice etc once you are cleared to have them after the leak test. The horn honking was ridiculous so ear plugs!!!!!

Hi Ladies - the horn honking are the people in line waiting to cross the border. I was in room 303 at Mi Hospital the last couple days and it was crazy.

Congrats !!
