[YMof4 11]

Hello everyone, I am new here and would really love some feedback from sleevers that had the procedure in Tijuana with Dr Garcia. I am a single mother of 4 wonderful children, which makes me nervous as heck if anything was to go wrong. I am scheduled for January 28th!! I have all kind if emotions and questions. Any feedback would help!!

I had the VSG with him in August of 2015 and had a very positive experience, no complications, and have exceeded my goals. Best wishes to you!

Slippers, comfy for the hospital....I wore a light "house coat" that zipped up the front...legging or soft pants for the hotel days and a couple of shirts. Toiletries that you might want ie toothbrush. Something for entertainment. Dry mouth spray was a G-d send. Download Google Translate for while you are there if you don't speak Spanish. Night nurses aren't fluent but will get someone who is if they can't communicate.

Got almost everything on the list except the dry mouth spray, I never thought of that! Thanks for the advice. I started my pre-op diet today and so far, so good!

Has anyone gone to/ plan to go to Dr Vazquez, his partner? I picked him to save a few bucks but I can't find any reviews on him directly & I'm getting a little nervous. Should I switch to Garcia?
