1st night in Mexicali (Dr. Aceves) my trip this far



Recommended Posts

Winding down in my hotel room now with the wife, and I'll sum a couple things up real quick so I can go enjoy my wine, dessert, and wine. :)

1. We met the most awesome people who traveled with us in the van (a man and his mother, and sisters). The drive is a little over an hour and Ernesto, Dr. Aceve's driver is really sweet (he has a little bit of a speech impediment) and really engages us in conversation and has excellent interpersonal skills!

2. The hotel is clean, small, and cozy (as cozy as a hospital can be. We had all our work done, Dr. Campos came in and talked to us as a group, and he is so awesome and extremely informative. The lady who's name I can't remember at this time, took our payments, and we then went to the hotel. The whole process from start to finish at the hospital took 3 hours for everyone.

3. We checked in to the hotel and went to eat at one restaurant called Los Portales because none of the others were open due to it being Sunday. The food was just okay.. not worth the 35.00 for 2 of us. I felt really guilty saying anything negative because their customer service and attentiveness honestly made up for the lack of good food. They are very tentative and kind, so I just let it go. Although this big girl wanted a yummie last meal... that's okay. I've already had like 3 "last meals" in this last week!

4. The hotel room is pretty nice but smelled very strongly of smoke (which I hate because I have really bad asthma). We are on the 3rd floor so we left the sliding glass door open to air it out and it was fine. We went to one of the other patients' rooms (that was traveling with us) and their room smelled perfectly fine. The room itself is pretty nice!

Overall I would say it's been a pretty good trip.. Mexicali isn't the nicest city in the world, but the hospital is awesome and so are the people. I would strongly suggest that if you haven't met up with anyone on this site that is getting surgery the same day you do, at lest contact your hospitals coordinator and ask them to give your email address to other people that will be traveling with you, because honestly the people that came with us are amazing and they have been a huge support to both my wife and myself. Looking forward but nervous for tomorrow!

On to my wine, adavant, and antibiotic. Viva la Mexicali!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.
