Questions On Traveling Alone To Mexico For Gastric Sleeve Surgery

[jessicaemilia 2]

I will be going to Mexico on my own to have surgery with Dr. Kelly on January 3rd (in just a few short weeks!) and have questions on how others secured their items while in surgery...i'm talking about your passport, wallet, credit cards and smart phone...did you leave it at the hotel? So if you did, does that mean that you went to the hospital without any ID? Can these items be secured in the hospital? Aside from items how secure did you feel on your own??? Is there anything within walking distance of the hospital/hotel that you could easily walk to? Last questions...whille at the hotel...how did you arrange for food? Room service...or did you feel up to getting food on your own???

Sorry for all the questions! Any answers to some or all of these questions are SOOOOO appreciated! I'll take answers from those that have already gone or those who plan on going solo!

Here's to us LONE RANGERS!!!

I kept all my belongings with me in the hospital. There was nowhere to lock them up, but I really wasn't worried about theft. As for food at the hotel, I wasn't in the mood to eat anything, and I had brought my own herbal teas and clear Protein drinks. I did trek to a convieniece store and got a Popsicle and Water one day.

I went alone and felt totally safe. Your driver, ricardo will pick and drop you off and he is awesome. I had no problems and I'm looking at going back to Mexico in a year or so or plastics....

Definitely give us an update. I am shooting for a late March/early April sleeve date with Dr. Kelly and I will be traveling by myself as well so I have many of your same concerns.
