No cath either. They had me go pee just before going in and I was good.

I just returned from TJ this week. No need to worry if you're working with the main groups. They run first class packages that take care of all of your needs so you can rest easy with Daddy at home with the kids. I used Tijuana Bariatrics and from landing in San Diego to my departure they were available and there for me 24/7. Even at the Marriott hotel the entire staff knew my nurse coordinator and had her on speed dial. These guys have it together. I promise you will also meet and bond with others in your group and you will spend a lot of time supporting each other.

Talked to my PCP before leaving. He knew the position I was in with my insurance not covering and was fully supportive. I just returned from T J this week and they put a full package together for me to give my doc. EKG, X-rays, notes, and leak test as well as contact info in case my doc has any further questions. Used TJ Bariatrics / Dr Francisco Garcia and couldn't be more pleased. -

The self pay rate for TB is 4250.00 right now. That will include Transpotation over and back, hospital and hotel stay and all medical expenses. -

I'll be using Dr Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics. I've read a lot a good reviews on him and talked to a couple of folks that used him. They also raved about the new facility he uses and his staff. The coordinators at TB have been easy to work with and my local doc has agreed to to accept my aftercare. I'll keep ya posted as things progress and get closure. The nervous jitters are starting to set in a little but I am so ready for this -
