Dr. Alvarez, Heat and traveling alone....

Hello all,
This may sound like a strange question but, for those of you who have had surgery with Dr. Alvarez or any Mexican surgeon I suppose and traveled alone how did you handle your purse? Did you take one, did they provide a safe?
Next question is heat in June/July. Is the hospital air conditioned (I'm sure it is) but wanted to be positive and did the heat make it harder for you to heal and move around?

Hi,  I traveled alone last year to Dr. Almanza in mid June (Tijuana).  The heat wasn't bad, clinic and recovery house were AC'ed. 

I scaled down everything in my purse.  A single credit card and minimal cash.  Also, wore only my gold wedding band, jewelry-wise.  My belongings were placed in the recovery room and were fine while in surgery.

I am sure someone who has had surgery with Dr. Alvarez will chime in, but I don't think you have much to worry about.  Just scale down and carry the essentials.

Good luck.

Good questions lady!!! I too am traveling alone at the of June for surgery. Any advice for purses guys???

I just got back from Monterrey two weeks ago.  I didn't take a purse.  I just didn't want to be lugging it around from terminal to terminal in the airport.  I had a little pocket sized pouch that I put everything in.

My friend came with me and she brought a tiny little Dooney and Bourke purse that she carried everywhere with her.  It was fine.

While I was in MTY, the heat stayed pretty much in the 90s and we had one 104 degree day.  I had irritated skin under my feeding tube and it BURNED when I sweat.  But I have extremely sensitive skin.  That's the only complaint I had about the heat.  The hotel and the hospital were well air conditioned. 

My surgery was done by Dr.Alvarez , I also traveled alone and i pack very lightly. I had one carry-on, they don't provide any safe but your room will have closet that you can put your stuff in and your room has air condition.

I traveled alone also to Dr. A    I carried my purse, no issues whatsoever !!

Great experience !
