  1. First of all I have to tell you "dont worry" tijuana isnt that bad; no one dies at the border and you dont see people dealing drugs LOL As for teh taxis, the hotel ur staying at has personal taxis that drop you off where ever you want and then you let them know a specific time to pick you up! so its really safe. I wouldnt take the other cabs just because they try to rip you off most times!! The plaza Rio is really nice but hardly anyone speaks english but their stores are quite modern they have this one big department store like the "bay"- I dunno if you guys have that in the states but we do in canada. For food, a meal at my hotel restaurant (Mariotte) was about $9 US O and ur preops take like 15 minutes!! OK I hope that helps
  2. Thanks for your support guys, well I had my surgery and it went great..I dont even feel any pain. Even the nurses were surprised at how energetic I was like 1 hour after surgery!! I have to admit the gas and bloating is not that exciting but its my third day and it feels much better. Everyone was super nice and helpful but to be honest the only negative thing is that they preform surgeries like an "assembly line." I mean the doctor is only in there for about 3 minutes I guess to place the band and then his assisstants finish the rest of teh surgery! Other than that, I would say that all went well
  3. hey cool ur from surrey..I'm in Richmond (vancouver, BC)
  4. So I just arrived in Tijuana today and let me tell you girls something which I`m pretty sure you`ll go thru if you haven`t had your surgery yet: in the months that lead to surgery, you`ll be excited and calm and happy BUT THEN 3 DAYS B4, its sooooooo nerve racking!!!!! Like I`m gonna have my surgery tomorow and I doubt that I`ll be able to sleep tonight! O and If you`re picking a hotel, pick the Mariotte a) its nice there are hot guys who work here Also, DO NOT walk in Tijuana alone: I cant explain how much of a night mare it is: there are like taxis honking at you and offering you rides eventhough you dont need one and it`s next to impossible to try crossing the streets!! I`ll update you guys right after my surgery tomorow
  5. well good news, I spoke to the doc today and he said that they are still using both brands..but he gets to make a decision on which band he wants to use on u !
  6. Thanks for your help guys..it's great! but the idea that they stopped using the Inamed band worries me because it seems like the "realize" is the cheaper way out. Well Im gonna call the cjinic and get some details..I'll keep you guys posted
  7. Does anyone how many different brands Dr. Ortiz uses?? I know for a fact that the Inamed band is the best one, but according to some posts, Dr. O has been recently usuing "realize"...so what's up with that! Also, how many diff sizes are there? thanks for teh help
  8. HI EVERYONE, I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH TIME READING EVRYONE'S POSTS AND THIS SEEMS LIKE SUCH A SUPPORTIVE GROUP. WELL IM HAVING MY SURGERY WITH DR. ORTIZ ON JUNE 24TH AND I'M SORT OF EXCITED BUT ALSO REALLY NERVOUS!! SO I HOPE ALL GOES WELL
