Tijuana - activities for companion to do?



Recommended Posts

I will probably take my mother with me. What kind of activities are there for her to do other than staying by my side? I want her to have some fun and a mini vacation. I heard Tijuana is somewhat dangerous so where can she go? Are there any tours she can take? Go to the beach? What did your companions do while there?

I would love to find out too. I will be going with my aunt so I don't want her to be stuck not doing anything else.

I just returned from Tijuana and did not feel unsafe at any time. The cartel wars there have ended and that was the cause of the violence. I would not, however, drive around by myself. My surgeon, Dr. Illan, has a coordinator/all around helper, Omar, who takes care of you and your Companion for the duration. I would first pick my surgeon and then see what services they have as far as who takes care of you when you are down there.

Ok thank you Janey. I am also considering Dr. Illan but it is hard to find info on him. Do you know if he has a surgery video up any where?

      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?
