Hey there. I am out and awake. There were complications during my surgery and Dr. G switched from laparoscopic to open surgery.
imagine my surprise when I seen the huge bandage.

Yes, I am here alone. But so far everything has been a positive experience. I'm just ready to get to the hospital and get this done.
We just got home last night. We stayed at the Grand Hotel for the last day of recovery. As I am sure you will see it is very nice. Cold - I was cold the entire time I was in Mexico!
Are you by yourself?
If so you will be fine. Several folks were there alone.Don't be afraid to ask for pain medicine if it hurts!! They will also give you medicine for nausea as well if needed.
Dr. Gonzales was very nice. You are in good hands.
Good luck!!!

Thanks for the awesome info. I have made it to TJ. I'm in my room at the Grand Hotel. Everyone so far has been extremely nice. I leave for the Florence Hospital tomorrow morning at 8:45.
Thanks for providing me with some new questions to ask. So helpful.
I am struggling with my decision. Baiatric surgery is not covered by my insurance. I know and have spoken with someone who had her surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz and A Lighter Me. She had nothing but positive things to say. I scheduled my surgery and then started my research.
I would like to be able to verify that Mi Doctor Hospital has whatever licenses might be required by Mexico. I know the hospital is not JCI accredited but what about Mexico CSG Accreditation (voluntary) or SiNaCEA .
I have also checked into Dr. Elias Ortiz. One site states that he is accredited by the American College of surgeons, but when I search for him on the American College of Surgeons site; I can't find him.
I am a planner and researcher by nature. I like to know every bit of information possible. The lack of information is worrisome. How did you all work past the unknowns?
hello, did you have your surgery. if so can you please share with me all of what happen. please. thank you
