    Default when in Mexico...question

    when in mexico, do patients seeing different dr.'s go to the same area and hotel and hospital?
    Im wondering if i will be alone?
    i have a feeling thats where my apprehension is coming from, i dont want to be alone lol, and i have no choice if im going to make this leap.
    i go April 30th, to Dr. Ortiz, and i dont want to be alone lol but i will do what i have to do

    Hi Meme,
    The hotel and hospital I was set up with was from Dr. Almanza team, I can't say about Dr.Ortiz.
    You should call your coordinator for the answer. They should Know.

    I had Dr. Almanza and HMN hospital but what I did notice during our van rides is there are small hospitals all over TJ. Things are different there, in the US we use big hospitals and no one ever knows whats going on.

    My guess is no matter what hospital you go to or hotel you're at you will be surrounded by folks having the same surgery as you. You won't be alone in it, just get up, walk the halls and make friends as you go, I know I did. Good luck!

    Doesn't he have a coordinator, someone who picks you up in SAN DIEGO? that's why I always tell people to do their research, look for the best option, specially when coming alone, you need someone to take care of you, how many day are you staying in the hospital, who's driving you to the hotel after they discharge you from the hospital? is someone staying with you?? THERE'S PEOPLE who do this for you, did you know that?? and THEN you get to stay in their recovery home.
