I went to Mexicali alone. I had no problems. I was there 3 days. I loved it there. I felt very safe.

I went to Tijuana self pay sleeve with DR Almanza. My niece did go with me, but that said , after it was all said and done I would have gone alone and would go back alone. The person that comes with you really just ends up spending a lot of time waiting and alone themselves. We travel in groups , you have the option of a group home with other patients or the hotel with other patients. It is very clean, very safe and you will never be alone. I had a group of 9 with me and met several others.. everyone was so friendly, we laughed we talked we moaned and groaned all together . I loved having my niece with me but not necessary at all.

I went alone. Stayed in the hospital two days then hotel three days. My sister would have come with me if I wanted her to but I wanted to go by myself. I was GLAD I was alone so I didn't have to worry about anyone else being bored. I enjoyed just resting at the hotel and taking short walks. Also there are many other sleevers in the hospital and in the hotel to keep you company if that's what you want.

I went alone (Dr. Aceves) and had a great experience. I simply planned ahead, did my research here and spoke to Nina about any questions I had to be sure I knew what to expect. I even flew all the way from Germany for my surgery!

I made good friends with the other ladies being sleeved the same day and even kept in touch with one of them throughout the first year post op.

The only thing someone else did for me was run to the pharmacy to get medications. One of the husbands offered to run for all of us that were recovering, and of course we gratefully accepted.
