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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
