I arrived at Sand Diego airport and went to Zone F like instructed. Omar our Driver was so super nice right off the bat! Met some awesome friends and we stayed close throughout the process! I have to say my first reactions of Tijuana were mixed matched. The staff of HMN Hospital was very professional. The nurse got my blood the first time, which never happens for me so I a was impressed! The hotel was very nice and clean and the staff was upmost helpful! Surgery day was full of mixed emotions but I had a lot of trouble with nausea but that was not the staff's fault. They were always there to give medicine. The one complaint I have is that I tried to make them understand that I have acid reflux really really bad, and I could not make them understand that and therefore I spent the last two nights in excessive distress of the reflux before I finally got relief from Miguel the Nurse who is awesome!!! Sebastian was by far my favorite Nurse and I could understand him and Miguel better than any others. I felt safe the whole time I was there and the Drivers deserve so much more admiration than they get. They were absolutely the greatest!!!! I would have like to have seen Dr. Almanza before we left and I think he should have spent a little more time with his patients but he did an awesome job! I would recommend this to anyone!
