Definitely felt safe. My friend and I even walked up to the Walmart from the Marriott the day we got in to get her some Snacks for the room. Even shopping downtown Tijuana the day we left we felt completely safe.

When I lingered too long at Walmart it got dark so i took a cab home. Same precautions as any city, but I always felt safe.

I actually live in Tijuana and i was sleeved with dr garcia 4/13. Take general precautions, and you should do just fine. Great experience with Dr. Garcia and his team.

I was sleeved by Dr Kelly. If you book with him directly (Lora) you get to stay in a beautiful 5 star hotel for 2 days and I felt very safe walking around!

While I was an inpatient at Florence/Oasis my mom walked all around and even went to the market. She said the whole experience was like a vacation.

Before going to TJ I imagine it would be scary, now I told my husband I want to move there lol!

Oops, the point of my post directly booking with Dr Kelly is that if you book through an agency sometimes they put you in this eh-ok hotel with nothing around you.

I met a patient who told me all about their stay. They weren't disappointed with the Dr at all (loved him), just the agency hotel. You do save an extra 300 booking through the agency which I originally considered but super glad I didn't.

      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!

      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!
