Feb 2014 Sleevers W/ Dr. Ortiz? Traveling Alone To Mexico?

[gastricsleever 259]

Traveling alone to Mexico. Has anyone else done this?

My friend that was coming with me feb 17th is not able to come with me now. So I'm probably traveling alone to the OCC and Dr. Ortiz. Would love to find a buddy goin there around the same time. Also, can anyone share their experience of traveling alone?

I just got back and I was alone. First, you will have someone with you at all times. If you email Janese she will get you in touch with others that are going to be there. I made a couple of life long friends! In the hospital you will have nurses taking care of you. They bring you ice, juice, or Gatorade whenever you need it. You will have a nurse for every 4 patients so they are always available.

Abraham will take you on outings to a few shops and show you the town. There are dozens of patients at The Marriott and most of them want to talk and compare notes! The hotel has free broth and Popsicles 24/7 and will bring them to your room.

If you want to go to Wal Mart it is a safe walk or the hotel will get you a taxi. It's only $3.

I am glad I went by myself so I could rest. But I always had ppl to do things with. When Abraham planes his outings there are usually 6 or so ppl on the van. So that's a good time to meet ppl as well. I never felt like I needed somebody. Alighterme takes really good care of you!

Now if someone has trouble getting up and down bc of their weight or health issues then you might need somebody.

I signed a contract with dr Ariel Ortiz and the OCC saying I wouldn't share the price but if you email them they will get back to you right away and let you know

Thanks for sharing!! I'm excited for my surgery and the experience, and if someone comes with me I would love it but I not longer feel like I must have someone with me, I'm ok going alone

I don't go on vacation to eat, I go on vacation to travel and visit places I've never been to before, so I'm ok with broth and Popsicles while doing my Medical Tourism Vacations are always what you make of them, I will make this one fun...after all, it is the beginning of the rest of my life!
