Dr Fernando Gracia in Tijuana Mx. My husband has been really busy at work and can't take off. I am ready to start my journey. I thought I am a big girl I can go alone. I guess I was wanting some reassurance.

I didn't go to TJ, I went to Mexicali. I felt perfectly safe there tho.

I am super excited. Maybe I can move my date for the same day or maybe day after and we can help each other. I am looking forward to meeting new people.

Ill be traveling to Tijuana alone. If you read about other people's journeys, everyone says that they felt very safe and had excellent medical care.

There should be wifi in both the hospital and hotel to help you keep in touch with your family.

I went to Dr. Garcia alone in TJ and was fine. I made friends with other patients and that helped because my biggest problem would have been boredom!!

Went alone, and I was truly at peace. I relaxed, recovered, and had some time for just me! Hubby took care of the kiddos, and I was content with going by myself. I felt safe. There is always someone with you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
