Hi! I am having surgery at the INT hospital on sept 9 and will be staying at Lucerna hotel!!

I'm also at INT but on Aug. 21... with Dr. Rodriguez./ Dr. Elmo... Don't see their names around here much but I am very convinced I'm doing the right surgery with the right surgeons...

Who's your Doc?

To the person worried about the "State Dept's" concerns with travel to TJ.... There's a risk to travel ANYWHERE... but armed with a little knowledge, and a plan it should be fine. For instance, I will NOT be staying an additional day at a Hotel. I will go home one day early in the evening. That eliminates the need for me tom travel to/from the hosp. They will just take me straight back to the airport. I may be a bit less rested, but I will be home....yay!!!

Surgery tomorrow with Dr. Valenzuela. Will update entire experience

Hi! I am having surgery at the INT hospital on sept 9 and will be staying at Lucerna hotel!!

Thats great! Maybe we'll run into each other at the hotel. Best of luck with the surgery. Keep in touch! Do you have someone travelling with you?

Yes my wife is coming to keep me out of truble

Arrive Aug 8th Marriott

surgey Aug 9th Dr. Lopez

Mi Hospital

My doc is Dr. Jamie Ponce de leon. And you don't hear like almost anyone talking about INT!

I think its a relatively small hospital. Like 7 private rooms per floor. I do know my coodinator will be there with us. This site seems to promote only certain surgeons but I've thoroughly checked out my doc and I'm well pleased. You will be too Im sure. Its a huge scary step but worth it.

I will be going to TJ hospital INT august 21st but the 22nd is my surgery date!

I'm on the 21st w Dr Rodriguez. At int also!!! I hope to see you there Ashley.

I will be in the care of Dr. Fernando Garcia 2 weeks from today... yikes

Sept. 2nd, Mi Doctor w/ Dr. Cabrera. Pueblo Amigo hotel but sounds like most people have preferred Marriott.
