At the marriot surgery is done



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery March 13th byDr Fernando Garcia, he is the greatest surgeon! I felt safe in his hands during the surgery.The hardest thing to deal with was the darn drain.Right now I am downstairs in the marriot in the computer room. I highly recommend Dr Garcia. Also recommend staying at the marriot in Tijuana they treat you like royalty here. :wub:

My biggest recommendation is to ASK for what you want. They don't just bring you drinks you have to ask for them. Also I went by myself so when just out of surgery and I was still very tired and not wanting to walk a lot, I asked the nurse to come and remind me to walk. Which she did gladly. Also you sometimes have to ASK what is going on, what you can have, what's happening next, etc.

If your drain does not have a clip ask for one so you can clip to your clothes so it does not swing.. when it swings around it kind of hurts.

Bring earplugs. The traffic outside is loud and they're constantly honking their horns.

Dr. Luna is coming today to remove my staples and not sure what time he is coming so i was asked to not leave the hotel...great...i'm in room 202. Call me and we can walk the halls together!!!! Yes, everyone remember to ask for what you want like Water, juice etc once you are cleared to have them after the leak test. The horn honking was ridiculous so ear plugs!!!!!

Hi Ladies - the horn honking are the people in line waiting to cross the border. I was in room 303 at Mi hospital the last couple days and it was crazy.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
