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.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
