Hello new to the group I am having Surgery at Tijuana Bariatrics the first of April. Anyone have any feed back? I am a little scared going to Mexico but I have talked to a lot of people who have been and they are all here telling their stories

I'm scheduled in June with Dr Garcia. Just found out tonight he has moved to Hospital CER? I've never heard of this hospital. Anyone been there? Is it an actual hospital or surgery center? Had a lot of problems with communication with ready4achange since Alma left.

I had my surgery at hospital cer. It's brand new. There are portions of it they are still finishing, but it is beautiful, and state of the art. I was impressed with the hospital and the care I received. Dr Garcia and his team are committed to providing a great experience. You can really feel it while you're there. They want you to go home and tell your friends great things so more people will come. The only thing with the hospital is they don't have the cafeteria finished, so your support person will have to eat at one of the 30 or so surrounding restaurants. My husband didn't mind this at all though :-) I can't speak to the coordinator situation because Alma was still there in march when I went. But you have a new coordinator when you get there, on the Mexico side and he is phenomenal.

I also had surgery there and it is brand new and beautiful!! My care was also awesome! BUT tell your care person to write down the address of the hospital if they venture out... the streets can be confusing and it is new so not all cabbies know about it... You will do great!!
