I was there way back in 2012. Nice hospital, great staff and super clean! Goggle the hospital and you will be able to see it on U tube. Good luck! Linda
Thank you!!
My husband chose the sleeve. I am very excited for him.
I really appreciate the information. I know he won't be able to carry the luggage - so I do not want to try and have too much with us since we live on the east coast it is going to be a looooong day for him.
Are you loving your sleeve???

I had surgery with Dr. Fernando Garcia. While you should definitely find someone in the states willing to provide after care for someone that had surgery in Mexico if you were to choose Dr. Garcia, I would definitely recommend him. My scarring is minimal and I'm 107lbs lighter since last year when I had the surgery (10/6/14 was my surgery date). All in all I think he did an excellent job for the price I paid.
I had surgery there on October 6, 2014, so it has been a year, but I didn't need to bring a pillow or blanket. I brought a towel, but only because I don't like to use hotel towels and I am funny about it. The hospital is not the newest in the world but very clean and nice. The rooms are large, so there is plenty of room for the both of you. Which WLS did he choose? I had the sleeve. Good luck to your husband!
Thank you so much! That is super helpful!!

Hi Sherrie, if you're coming to Florence Hospital you don't really need a blanket or a pillow, unless you would rather use your own that is. The Hospital rooms at Florence have an extra bed for guests and they provide a pillow and a blanket, it's actually inside a drawer in the lower part of the guest bed. You will be very comfortable at Florence.
Good luck to your husband, I'm sure he's going to do great.
I had open RNY about 8 yrs ago and never reached goal and regained some back. Sylvia is my contact and she was super helpful. I've been taking daily vitamins, iron , calcium and biotin the whole time. You have to take them, and yo can do it.
Definitely will keep you posted. Are you revising from a sleeve? Who is your facilitator at beliteweight? Mine is Teri.
Can I ask why you are revising? For me I didn't have much success with the sleeve so going with the DS. This is a huge step especially because of the multiple daily vitamins forever but I can do it....
I've decided I'm going to have the revision but I'm going to try to schedule it in February. I'd love to know how it goes for you so keep me posted.
