Good luck to you. Dr. Garcia performed my surgery on March 18th (at Mi Doctor hospital). So far, everything has been easier than I thought it would be. Tonight, I had my first non-liquid food. I ate about 1/8 cup of cottage cheese and a small piece of babybel cheese. Filled me up so much.

As far as what to take with you to Tijuana, I would recommend a comfortable pair of walking shoes, a pair of slippers for the hospital, and your basic toiletries. I'd also take some small bills for tips. Also, if you plan on doing much shopping at places like Wal Mart, they won't give change in American $$, so the smaller bills you have, the easier it is to pay the exact amount.

I took my Kindle Fire and used it a lot at the hospital and hotel with the wifi connection.

There really wasn't much else that I needed, but I'm pretty low maintenance.

I did take Gas-X strips, Mio flavoring for my Water, and chapstick, but didn't use them.

PACK LIGHT! Loose fitting pants/ work out pants and t shirts. I didn't care what I looked like honestly. If you're at florence, they give you slippers that you can keep. If you're going alone bring your electronics. The staff will tie and lock your items in the hospital safe and will open everything in front of you. Travel sized toiletries. I left with something for gas, they give it to you at discharge. Oh...bring a pill crusher. You will have to take antibiotics.
