Thanks so much Deborah. I did so much research on MiDoctor I didnt even pay attention to any other facility.

I was there March 7th and loved it!! I have pictures of the hospital and my room in one of my post. It's a full service hospital. It's a little old but they are redoing it and the nurses are great! They always use gloves which was one thing I was worrying about since I heard other hospitals didn't. I also liked that we had call buttons and didn't have to yell or walk to the nurse station if we needed something.

Thanks GAmom, I was hoping someone that had been there recently could tell me what they experienced.

I was there six weeks ago and I enjoyed my stay there as a patient and my traveling companion was comfortable too. As mentioned, it's older in aesthetics but they're updating it even now. I loved all the nurses and the hospital bed was, to me, the most comfortable I've ever had occassion to use. Another poster said the linens were too scratchy for her, but I didn't notice. I liked that it was a full-service facility. They are internationally known for their alternative cancer care program and I understand a lot of Amish folks from the States like to use that facility for a variety of care (though I did not meet any on my trip). Nurses and all the doctors who do rounds were wonderful.

From what I gather so far, the nurses are a little more professional. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, but other posts say the nurses at MiDoctor were loud at night.

We actually seen a Amish family there. We learned that they come from the states to go the hospital for care and needed surgeries. They have a special "account" with them or something. I thought that was really neat!!

Oh and we had wash clothes lol I know some people that have went to other hospitals said they only had towels. I agree I didn't think the hospital bed was uncomfortable. The guest bed however is a little hard.

The nurses were all great! For the most part they all spoke good English and the one nurse who didn't had a app on her phone.

How cool of her to get the app, especially since we are in Mexico, safe to say we should expect the staff to be Spanish speaking. I was fully prepared to cater to them.... I guess I can take my washcloths out of my plastic bag, LOL

Lol yeah, I'm not much of a yeller. I'd feel much more comfortable pressing a button.

I was there in August and enjoyed it. There were Amish people down the hall from me, so its nice to know why now ;)

I didnt have any complaints. It was exactly what I expected. The nurses were attentive and friendly, and the rooms were clean. And they had a cafeteria that my sister could go to when she needed to.

I wondering if Mi Doctor is bursting at the seams anymore? I can think of several different surgeons who use Mi Doctor. The Medical Tourism trade just keeps growing.

I don't see how they keep everything sterile with that many patients coming and going in? But what do I know? Lol

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
