Going April 12. Dr Lopez. Any tips for hospital?? Is area safe? Parents are joining me. They are 65. Wanted to come for support. Hubby is taking time off when I return. Can they go out around the hospital?

It would come and go from painful to I'm pretty sire I'm dieing over that week and a half.

Not all are painful. My blood clots were rare, apparently.

There was a fancy name for them but I threw away my discharge papers. I am pretty sore "mesenteric" (sp?) portal vein thrombosis was one. I mean I know it was but I'm not sore how you spell that.

Yeah. The drs here are less than smart it seems. One dr. Literally told me "it's heartburn, you just need to let your pouch heal". He refused to say sleeve. Even overheard him outside the door say she had (whisper) gastric bypass"

No idiot. I didn't.

They can walk to the grocery store which is two blocks away, it s called Ley. Good for alook around and some Snacks, it is like a walmart. It is safe near the hospital but not much to do. The main floor cafe is small but very nice owners who speak english. Good food. Best o ask abraham or eduardo for a ride somewhere. I went to the Tijuana cultural centre, it is really beautiful.

There is a WalMart and shopping plaza and even the movies close to the Marriott..a taxi costs 3.00. not much to do at the hospital no close by restaurants and cafeteria is closed on Sundays....felt very safe the entire time.
