I just returned on the 8th of Jan. I had my surgery on the 5th and it was good. Dr. Almanza (very cute by the way) and his team were very professional and did an excellent job. The night of the surgery, we had a night nurse who didn't really check on us. We did talk to Dr. Betancourt and Severo about it. That was our only big issue. Our mom was there, so to suggest something, I would say for sure bring someone along who isn't having a surgery. The recovery house is nice and comfortable. There are two people, Teo and Sylvia who cook and clean for you. Tony, our driver, took us to the OXXO store and mom got some goodies there. While my sister and I were in surgery, my mom went with Yvonne to Costco and got a couple slices of pizza and a hot dog to eat. I would say bring comfy clothes, gas x strips, books, etc to read. There is a couple english channels in the hospital. Most of the staff does not understand very much english. Severo was our translator but had a surgery the day after us...he's very good. Dr. Betancourt speaks english and spanish, and he is super nice! I hope you have a good surgery. You're in good hands. I'm feeling good and already have lost 17.5 pounds since Jan. 3rd. Wow!!!!!
