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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
