Travelling alone to TJ from Canada..Share your experience?

Hey All..

My surgery isn't till October, but I just found out that my hubby wont be able to accompany me.. So i will be going ALONE!!!!

Its freaking me out..considering that the furtherst I have travelled is Colorado. So i was wondering if anyone can share there experience

of travelling alone to TJ and going to Mi Doctor.

What was a single room like in the hospital? Did you have a call bell if you needed a nurse? 'Im really worried about being alone!

I'm going alone and I am leaving tomorrow!!! I'm going to Dr. Garcia at Florence Oasis Hospital. I'm staying at the Mariott hotel Monday then Tuesday I'm getting sleeved! I will be posting all the details as soon as I'm able to.

You will do just great! I went in February and did have my husband but lots of ppl were alone... Everything is taken care of for you from the minute you get off the plane.

I didn't go alone but honestly I could have and would have been just fine. Good luck.

My friend and i went and both had surgery 3 wks ago at hospital mi doctor in tiquana. She was going to go alone and then i found out she was going and we planned our surgeries together. When we got to the hospital there were 2 other ladies that had traveled there alone that were doing fine. Its nice because there is only like 10 rooms per floor so as soon as you ring your call light they come in, unlike in the usa. I had a lot of pain issues because my fibromyalgia and i needed a lot of pain meds so i rang my bell a lot and they were right there within a minute. Dont worry. Are you going thru medical tourism corporation?
