OperaMom 15 Posted August 11, 2017 Hey guys, I am new here and have my gastric sleeve surgery scheduled for September 5th with Dr. Ortiz at the Obesity Control Center. I am super excited/nervous! I will probably be traveling alone. I have told a few close friends and family and although I trust Dr. Ortiz, they bring up valid concerns about how safe it is to travel in Tijuana. Have any of you had bad experiences there? What's it like and what should I expect? Anyone else with that date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarinaGirl 609 Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I traveled alone and I had no issues in TJ. The hospital and hotel I stayed at were in Zona Rio, which is the modern business district, and I was safe there. I never felt nervous walking around and I was driven to the shopping district and a shopping center by my surgeon's driver. And one day I even took an Uber to/from costco. No problemo.

AK_Bookworm 116 Posted August 11, 2017 I traveled alone also and had no problems... I didn't feel unsafe at anytime while I was in Tijuana.< br> 1 OperaMom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
