My wife and I are both getting sleeved on May 15th. I have heard great things about the hospital, doctor and staff, but haven't heard much about the Marriott or things to do in Tijuana. Any suggestions or any feedback on the hotel? Is there anything to do there? Also, my biggest question...Are all the tv shows/stations in Spanish?

I am also being sleeved on May 15th by Dr. Garcia and will be staying at the Marriott. Are you guys with Dr. Garcia as well or a different doctor?

Wow, I loved the Marriott - it was extremely nice, and clean. The beds were heaven. The staff is very courteous and I tipped them accordingly.

Ive heard the Marriot is very nice. And that they have many English channels. You couls probably get a more direct answer from your coordinator! Keep us posyed, and best wishes to you and your wife

I am going on May 7th to be sleeved by Dr. Garcia and I heard the marriott was wonderful. Urisboo72 just came back and posted a review of Dr. Garcia, his staff, the hospital and the Marriott.

This should help with some of your questions.

I was sleeved by garcia on 4/6 and stayed at the marriott after surgery. It is a very nice hotel. it was clean, staff was nice, hubby said food was good, beds were comfy, a few english channels.. One that played csi type shows all day, within walking distance of Walmart and a shopping center, nice restaurant inside hotel.. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
