Day 1-6 events
My day 1-6 experience in Tijuana!
Day1: First day in Tijuana down! We hired Lisett Gonzalez driving service. (Her WhatsApp #is +1 (619) 623-7647) Her driver Arturo picked us up in a new Ford Expedition. It was a group of 6 he picked up from the airport which made me feel safer. Multiple vehicles were stopped and being inspected, but not our vehicle. We were waved to pass along. He dropped us off at the new office location called New City Medical Plaza. I carried my money cash in a flat Fanny pack. I was a little nervous at first but thats why I decided to go straight to dropping off the payment. My coordinator Queren was very quick to reply since my day is coming up. She sent a QR code that will allow you further into the building without it the security will not let you in. If you have a companion they will not be allowed into the office unless they have their own QR code. His office is small but clean. All the staff I meet today was female. They just hired someone new to help because they are very swamped. Since my mom and I hadn’t eaten all day they decided to have the labs lady (a separate company) come and draw our blood for testing. One thing I did not like was that she had no gloves when drawing our blood. It’s definitely not the same as in the US. I just made sure she used a clean needle. We left a few minutes later and checked into Pueblo Amigo hotel. If you haven’t booked, book at the Quartz because it’s right next to the office. Pueblo amigo isn’t bad but it is a 5 min walk away. Once we checked in we had to go try that famous Caesar's salad. We definitely recommend. We used Uber twice and it’s been a good experience.
Day 2: So day two in Tijuana has been fun! I wasn’t going to post, but I figured someone may find useful the information I share. We use Uber to get around. We pay using our card on file that automatically converts pesos into dollars. It is soooo cheap. I’ve use Uber in Vegas and that shit is expensive! $2-$3 a ride is very affordable. We went to Walmart first and then Plaza Rio to walk around and shop (its expensive lol). We went to eat at Taquería Taqualli Tacos Urbanos the food was good, but I wish I would of ate something healthy because my stomach did not like that. I’m still watching my weight because I’m just under what I needed to be. Queren did tell me to avoid places that are highly populated and not to eat pork or sea food. Tomorrow I have my drawings done and we’ll be taking pictures with the staff of Idealsurgery.
Day 3!! Today was a great day! My mom and I started with eating at Tacos Mike. We saw him on Mark Wiens YouTube channel and the tacos were amazing. After that we made the trip to the recovery house we will be staying at, Excellence recovery home. The house was nice, but there is two homes. The second home is just across the street and a few houses down. Claudia was very attentive and explained everything about what the offer.
The consultation was moved to 5 pm because Dr. Nieblas surgery ran a little longer that expected. He is amazing!!! He is a serious but friendly person. He gave me a run down on what to expect for my body. I am definitely not going to have a big ass! Lol I have no hips, a short butt crack, and a short ass. My arms are already to big and lose for lipo so he recommended on a second round have an arm lift. I may need a back lift if the lipo leaves my skin too lose, but on a second round. He said he will do the best he can for my body. I don’t have much skin on my breast so I can only be a c cup which I’m happy with I don’t want huge boobs. I also don’t have a lot of skin on my butt so he will go as big as he can. Overall my experience was fantastic!! He is professional!! I never felt uncomfortable. He measured me about 50 times, so he is very meticulous. I’m excited for tomorrow.
Day 4: surgery day I’m here!! The facility is very clean and the staff is very friendly. The wifi sucks in the waiting room , but in my room it’s good. I signed all the paperwork about my current state of health and history of my families health. I just got my IV put in and marked up again by Dr. Nieblas. My final weigh in was 164 and I’m not 5’3 ?????? I’m 5’2. My clinic took my height with shoes on. I’m surprised I don’t feel nervous. I’ll update once I wake up!
Day 5: Day two post op! I feel great. The lipo is definitely the worst of the pain. I’ll post a picture as soon as I can. Surgeryroom was okay. The only issue I had was there was some construction going on and I couldn’t sleep at night because of the banging. Excellence recovery home has been great. They picked me up at 10:30 and DR. Claudia is amazing and so is all the nurses. Definitely would recommend. For pain I’m taking 10/325oxy/Tylenol that I brought from home and that has been more than enough. They prescribed me tramadol, but I’m going to finish the pill I brought first. They also prescribed iron, arnica pills, and antibiotics. When I left the surgery room my iron was 10.1.
Edit my iron before surgery was 13.4.
Day 6 today! 5/22 I had so much fluid after they removed the bandages. Lipo is the worst of all and I’m constipated . The massage hurt a little but it was great after. they removed so much fluid. I have 2 bruises on my sides that they are keeping an eye on. I send the pictures to Queren and Dr. Ricardo (Dr. Ariel Nieblas right hand man) is coming to see me at the recovery home. I love the fact that he is so attentive and cares about his patients. Even the doctor at the recovery home was surprised. She said not a lot of doctors are willing to come and see their patients. These women at the recovery home are amazing and so attentive with all my needs. They have doctors and nurses constantly caring for you.

I have never felt this beautiful!!
At 9 years old I had my appendix removed and it left a horrible scar because of the infections I got. It learnt stomach completely deformed. After my last pregnancy I decide to do something for my self.
