At the Tijuana Marriott



Recommended Posts

I flew in from Cincinnati to San Diego today. Victor met me at the airport and brought me to the Marriott. Raul met me at the Marriott and helped me get checked in and then I went up to my room. It's a nice room, two double beds and the Wi-Fi and Internet is free, The bathroom smells a little musty but I'm wondering if it's just the Water. The room is clean and maybe a little older but it's fine. Everyone seems to be very nice so far. I check out tomorrow morning and Raul will pick me up at 10 minutes till 10 to take me to Mi Doctor Hospital. I have some more paperwork I need to fill out this evening and I ask why I needed to do more paperwork since I had already done so much. He said this paperwork was for the hospital. So I would think I will be sleeved tomorrow afternoon. I ask Raul and he said the first operation scheduled was for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Looking forward to being a healthier me. I did take some photos of the room and I will post them when I get back home. I did find out that my Kindle fire will not support my mail so I am using my smartphone right now and that seems to be doing well.my doctor is Alejandro Lopez.

Good Luck!!

I am from Cincinnati as well. I have narrowed my Mexico surgeon down to two...Dr. alejandro lopez and Dr. Elias Ortiz. I am very very interested to hear what your experience will be with Dr. Lopez.

How long was your flight? Did you fly out of CVG or Dayton?

Sending you good thoughts. I'm guessing you'll be back at the Marriott tomorrow (Thur). Let us know how you're doing and how it went.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
