June 15th Tijuana

I'm the same date in Tijuana with Dr Garcia. Who's your surgean?
I am with dr. Jesus Lopez. We will be flying in on Sunday from Texas.
I will be flying in too from Louisville, Ky on the 14th too staying at the Marriott

You will love the Marriott!!!!! We stayed there Feb 2014 when my daughter was sleeved by Dr. Cabero at Mi Doctore hospital. They have a wonderful restaurant downstairs that caters to bariatric patients and guests. It is very secure and not far from the hospital.

This year I stayed at the Sage hotel on the 5th floor above florence Hospital and Dr. Camelo was my surgeon. Again, wonderful group of people!!!! Enjoyed the hospitality of Tijuana.

A word of advice to interact with the hotel and hospital staff....be pleasant, smile and joke with them, and if comfortable leave your hospital room door open (encourages visits by the nurses and other patients). Both times we've been there this is how we were and the staff seemed to respond very positively to us! Of course this is how we are normally and some are not comfortable being so open....that's okay too.

The nurses and doctors were fabulous! Good luck on your journey!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
