May 2 VSG in Tijuana anyone?

Hi everyone,

I am heading to TJ for VSG on May 2, 2014 with Dr. Elias Ortiz (A lighter Me). Will be at the Marriott until the 6th. Say hi if you'll be there too.

Thanks...James

Hi James.

I will be at the Marriott in TJ too. Arriving on May 2nd, Surgery on the 3rd, 4th still at hospital (Mi Doctor), the 5th and 6th at the Marriott again and leaving the morning of the 7th.

My surgeon is Dr Valenzuela. I went through Medical Bariatric Center. I am getting vsg done, what surgery are you getting?

I look forward to meeting you!!!

Hi FeeFee,

I'm also having the VSG. My wife and I are arriving in TJ on 5/1, with surgery scheduled for the following day at Mi Doctor. Anxious, but confident in this decision. Is anyone traveling to TJ with you? Look forward to meeting you as well.

James

Unfortunately I will be traveling alone. But I am also confident in my decision, and I believe everything will go as planned.

Hi James

Just wondering how everything went ?? I'm having my surgery on May 10th with Dr Ortiz. I'm also going through A Lighter Me. Any input would be greatly appreciated !!

Hi Everyone,

I just returned from Tijuana and wantd to give you an update.

The entire experience was excellent and could not have been better. Abraham and Eduardo were great and punctual. The doctors were outstanding. The nursing staff was genuinely caring and attentive. Each day after the surgery was considerably better than the previous day and by day 3, my wife and I were going to the mall and movies...no problems at all.

Anyone using A Lighter Me will be in good hands and I could not recommend them any higher.

Be well...James
