What is the best pharmacy in Tijuana? Recommendations?



Recommended Posts

Hello Tijuana Sleevers, for those of you that went to the pharmacy after you were discharged, what pharmacy did you go to? Did anyone buy B12 shots? A friend is going for dental work and i want her to get some meds and Vitamins for me, wish I had the energy to go after surgery but i just didn't.

Has anyone had a hard time bringing meds back across the border? I'd be very interested in getting b-12 shots to bring home.

There is no problem bringing medications back across the border as long as you can show they are for your personal use. A prescription always helps. I believe Vitamins should be no problem at all.

when you are discharged from the hospital are you given a prescription from the hospital or medication already dispensed?

@@MissRobin I received a bag from my facilitator containing all the meds prescribed by my surgeon. Although I'm not 100% sure I believe it's common practice. I received antibiotics, pain medication, prilosec, liquid antacid, antiseptic spray, gauze and a whole lot of miscellaneous, non medical goodies.

      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?
