Sooooo my hubby n I are really here !!!!!!! Were in Tijuana @ Marriott surgery tomorrow !!!!! I'm do scared and excited !!!! This seems so real

The night before is really stressful. They made me sleep at the hospital the night before because I was the first one scheduled the next morning. I thought about running away a few times, but changed my mind. lol As soon as they gave me something to relax, I was FINE. Good luck tomorrow.

Wishing you a speedy recovery after surgery. I was also nervous the night before surgery. But it went all well.

Be grateful you are there and relaxing and have a comfy bed to sleep in before surgery. I spent the night before my VSG just trying to GET there. My original flight was cancelled and all flights grounded due to a snowstorm. I had to drive 5 hours (in a snowstorm) to another airport in another state to try and get on another flight on standby. Finally arrived in San Diego at 1:30am and had to crash there until the OCC shuttle could pick me up at 7am and take me straight to the surgical center. I was too busy dealing with travel to get nervous.

Enjoy the Marriott.....I loved my stay there. My sister made me walk up to the Walmart plaza so she could get her Starbucks fix several times postop. good luck...you will do great!

That's so awesome and exciting...I can't wait to be in your shoes wish you the best !!!!

Kindle, I remember your travel woes! So glad you got there! Your sister was super nice.

Enjoy the Marriott, if you have a travel companion tell them to order off the menu if they go to the hotel restaurant, the food off the menu is better than the buffet.

Kindle, I am wondering what you did in the airport while you waited? I am arriving around the same time as you and have opted to be picked up there several hours later instead of getting a hotel room. Were you able to rest? Did you just keep your self busy?

I ended up getting a room at the Sheraton. I had purchased travel insurance when I got my tickets. First time I've ever done that. So I got reimbursed for the hotel room since it was an added expense due to the flight cancellation. Another member (coopspa) was on the same flight and they stayed at the Sheraton, too. The problem with getting into San Diego so late is that the airport more or less "closes" at midnight. The only hotels still running shuttles at 1:30am were the Sheraton and holiday inn express.

There was another WLS patient on the flight that was going to get a US taxi to the border and then a TJ taxi to the hotel. Gloria, the travel coordinator at OCC STRONGLY recommended that I NOT do this. Never heard how his adventure turned out since he was not having surgery at OCC.

Leysi, how are you doing?

Leysi, how are you doing?

Hi .... Un doing good just got back to the hotel about an hr ago . Just a bit sore and parts of my belly r still numb that I can't feel pretty creepy and some gas pains .... A bit scared to cough but other than those basic postoperative things everything great so far ... Very happy that I did this and going with the OCC was the best choice I could've made honey
