Mexico - Hospital vs Hotel Recovery

I'm very concerned with the idea of recuperating in a hotel vs a hospital.  I jus****ched my sis go thru VSG in the states and she stayed in the hospital for two nights.  She had no issues, but I certainly felt better knowing that she was in a hospital.

Is there any list on the forum (or anywhere that anyone knows of) that designates which Mexican Surgeons use hospital recovery vs hotel recovery?   Trying to determine this info via the website of each surgeon is a little confusing.  

Thank you everyone in advance!

Sorry I don't know of a list. I did the 2 day hospital and 2 day beautiful hotel stay thing. I had a friend with me. Everything went fine. My Dr. (Dr. Kelly) also came to the hotel to check on us. His coordinator also checked on us and actually took us out shopping. That's how good we felt! You certainly could rest at the hotel but we went out both days. Message me with any questions.

I went to Dr. Ponce in Tijauana, I stayed 3 nights in hospital and 2 in the Lucerna hotel.  Very nice.   Check my Blog.   It will tell you more.  VSG surgeries stay 2 nights in hospital and 2 in hotel.   check out wls-for betterlife on facebook or email Trish the patient co-ordinator at [email protected].  If you have anymore questions feel free to add me as friend and send me a pm.  Barb

Dr. Aceves has a 3 night hospital stay post-op. I had a great experience there!

I am heading to Mexico on the 25th of Feb, I am having my surgery done by Dr.garcia and Valenzuela, there is a 2 night hospital stay and 2 night hotel stay but I am staying for an extra night due to flight home, I have no problem with that !

 

I'll be there on the 26th. Are you going to the Marriot?

Yes I get there on the 25 surgery 26 and staying one extra night at hotel

just curious to know how things went or are going. i have selected them for my surgery.

 

Things couldnt be better. I'm home now just tired frfrom flying . I have not had to take anything for pain, gas is not so bad.i cannot say anything bad about my experience. and the doctors are amazing. everything is clean,tidy . I would recommend to anyone!

 

I had my VSG done by Dr Aceves in June. Included in the package is pick up at the San Diego airport, pre-op testing, a night in a very nice hotel before surgery, pick up at 7am, surgery, 3 nights in hospital (I was across from the nursing station - amazing care!), then we were driven back to San Diego. We stayed an extra couple of days in San Diego after surgery and the driver dropped off the other patient and her Mum, then drove us to our hotel.

My sis was sleeved the same day and the only thing I'd change is that I'd spend a little less time gabbing with other patients and more time walking. (gas pain isn't fun) The care was exceptional in every way.
