Banded in Mexacali and drove there?



Recommended Posts

Anyone banded in Mexacali and drove there? Did you drive into Mexico or park on the CA. side and let someone pick you up? I'm bring hubby along (bless his heart!!!!) - is the couch comfortable at the hospital in the room? THanks.

the couch is pretty comfortable and the food at the hotel is pretty good.

as for the car, it's pretty safe to drive all the way to the hospital, they've got a good parking lot and it's close to the border. if you leave it at the border in calexico, then you will have to cross walking and take a taxi....just remember you have to do that after your surgery - unless there's someone who can take you from the border to the hospital.

whichever way goodluck!!!:crying:

We picked up a couple at that Calexico airport parking lot and dropped them off on the way back to San Diego. So either way would probably work. Good luck!

My husband and I drove, parked in Calexico, walked across and Yolanda picked us up. Ernesto drove us back to the US on his way to San Diego and took us right TO OUR CAR in the parking lot. Nothing to it. We did use a taxi a few times while there. No problems with that. We went an extra day early.

My husband had no complaints about the couch.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
