Calling All Tijuana Bandsters.....



Recommended Posts

I am going to Tijuana on March 22 (surgery March 24) and I had a friend on another board suggest a massage, pedicure and a manicure before surgery to pamper myself, make me more relaxed and calm any nerves. Anyone know of a good day spa in Tijuana?

Not in TJ but I do know of a great place where I live. LOL!! Of course that is 3 hours North of San Diego. Would be happy to take you to my mani and pedi place if you wanna make the trek to me. Amtrak is cheap and it leaves from San Diego and drops you off where I live in Van Nuys.

Thanks for the offer Penni! However, I will be traveling with my mom and sister to go there so that won't work. Can I have a raincheck? :cool:

Darn, I was really hoping to at least get a nice massage or pedicure in Tijuana.< /p>

The Aqua Caliente Spa in Tijuana is located in the hotel Finistra. The website is www.sdro.com/vitaspa/spa1.htm. They are very good and extremely affordable. All of the information on prices and treatments are on the site. They offer mid week specials as well.

Enjoy!

I think this is a wonderful Idea. I hope you find a place.

I didn't leave the country for my surgery but a few days before my Lap Band I had my hair trimmed at one place. Had my eyebrows and stash waxed at another.

Finally used a year and a half old gift card for a 30 minute massage at a posh salon I don't normally go to. And of course had a mani and pedi at my usual place. Passed the time a bit and made me feel very special. SO I think it would be sublime to be able to do it all in one place right before surgery. Be pampered. This is your time.

May God Bless you and be with you.

      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.
