The next morning the Marriott shuttle took us to the occ. not the nicest area (i dont think anything is in tijuana) but it is next door to a police station. And I felt safe the whole time. Outside of the building could use work but the inside was fine.
This is what I liked there was absolutely no b.s. I'm sure all of us tried or inquired about some kind of weight loss surgery in the USA. There are presentations,multiple doc visits, shrink visits, insurance crap. None of this here. No nonsense.
I walked in and in 5 minutes the nurse took me to a gurney insert a port into my hand for meds and stuff. Then the nutritionist weighed me and talked post diet. Then another doc hooked me to an EKG machine to make sure I'm good. Then then take me to my room and wait for the doc and surgery. Can you imagine that in the USA? That would have taken 4 different doc visits.
Waited about 30? 1 hour? Not sure. The nurse came in gave me some relaxing drugs. Doc came in and went over everything answered questions. I fell asleep and they rolled me in and the surgery was done!
