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.

      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.
