I went with my husband to Florence hospital in Tijuana.

We used Medical Tourism - Dr. Gonzalez. He has been doing it since 96 with over 4k procedures. Spoke excellent English.

We had no issues in Mexico. The medical tourism industry is huge in Tijuana - the Grand Tijuana hotel has a floor dedicated to surgical care and is attached to essentially a mall of medical offices. 

Comb these sites for doctors. The hospital was a little shifty looking on the outside but modern on the inside. We were cared for by no less than 4 people around the clock. 

More laid back and personal than  my care here in the US.  

So yesterday was the big day, I didn't sleep much last night due to the gas pains. It was just hard for me to get comfortable, that gas is no joke! Today I am feeling better, the gas is still a little rough, but walking around has helped a lot. All in all this has been a lot easier than I thought it would be. I was worried that having that much of my stomach removed would be really painful, but really the gas discomfort is the only pain I have felt. Dr. Quinones has been great. He is a very down to earth guy. He came in to speak with me before surgery and answer all of the questions that I had. He was very polite and informative. The rest of the staff has been amazing as well. The nurses don't speak very much English, but they are really nice and there is a translator here with me 24 hours a day to make sure we are able to communicate with each other. The entire staff has been awesome! I just wanted to update everyone on how things are going. Thank you for all the prayers that you all sent my way. I am happy to say that I am officially a member of the sleeved team. It may be uncomfortable now, but I am so happy that I did it. I will keep updating as I feel up to it. Thanks again for all the support.

So today is the BIG DAY. I am so excited but at the same time I am very nerves. In a few my transportation will be picking me up in San Diego to take me to Mexico to start my new life. I feel my stomach full of butterfly's just to think that my life is about to change forever. I know I shouldn't be nervous, I have spent countless hours researching Dr. Quinones, I know he is a good surgeon, but I can't help but feel knots in my stomach. Please say some prayers for me today. I will post more once I am out of surgery. Wish me luck!

I had my VSG with him June 2nd, 2015. If you're still looking message me and I can share my experience.

You'll be just fine!!  Take good care of you and WALK WALK WALK... please let us know how it goes!! 

Good  vibes to you!!
