My husband has a surgery booked with Dr. Jamie Ponce de Leon on the 8th of October.  I will accompany him to Mexico and was wondering if anyone has some 'tips' regarding the hospital/hotel and whether to take US $$ or pesos. 
I think I have him all prepped for the surgery and recovery.  (He has watched my weightloss journey after my VSG in May 2011.)   I hope for him and everyone who has these surgeries that it be the same life changer that it was for me!!

Your husband is in good hands. US dollars are all you need. If you booked through Trish she will take care of almost everything your husband could possibly need. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for your replies! 
The pics are fabulous, it is great to see the facilities and I didn't have a drain after my surgery so that was good to know about too!

We are back!  The surgery went great, Dr Ponce and his staff are top notch.   Trish was phenomenal, she treats you better than family!
