2bsmallagain 156 Posted April 23, 2012 I haven't booked yet but I know my mom would kick and scream and guilt me till I got on the plane and then send me texts. On the other hand My mom In law has had been through bariatric surgery and 100% me and why I don't wanna tell my mom. My husband supports me in this, he just wants me to be happy and I appreciate that. A good friend of mine from high school is maybe 100 lbs soaking wet. She told me her secret was green tea. Yup! That's the secret for it. She has 3 kids and still her thigh is the size of my wrist.. Irritating. My mom and aunt are such weight watchers freaks it's more like a brain washing cult. I'm ready. I am with you. It is time for me to make decisions for me and not worry what anyone else thinks. Its my life, my mirror l look in everyday, my clothes I try to shop for and my problem. So I will fix it and surgery is my new saving grace. Amen our new life is coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FatGirlSlim 115 Posted April 23, 2012 I'm going down on 5/21 with my mother and having surgery on 5/22 and returning home on 5/26. I have checked out pictures and review of the hotel on tripadvisor.com. Just search for Tijuana Marriott!!!!! Most of the reviews are four star and up!!!

hollirrose 249 Posted April 24, 2012 I have been at the Marriott Tijuana for the last couple of days. The hotel is nice, the bed is comfortable, there are a few (3-4) english speaking channels, and free wi-fi. They also offer 3 bowls of broth, 2 bottles of Water, and 2 ice pops (watermelon or cantaloupe) each day during your stay. You can get this 24 hours a day at their restaurant or through room service. Also, if you are traveling with someone they get a 15% discount on any of their food. The prices aren't unreasonable $10-$12 per meal. 2 Glendaaus and 2bsmallagain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hollirrose 249 Posted April 28, 2012 I just posted a (super long) review of my experience with Dr Garcia and the hospital. Hope it helps! Sorry about the grammer and mis spellings... It was written from my phone and my spell check is goofy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
