If you too want to travel to Tijuana for sleeve gastrectomy, make sure you research exhaustively and know all the details of your medical trip well in adavnce. Traveling to get a surgery in another country—even if it is only a few hours drive—could be daunting, especially if you are not comfortable with the native language there. Travel Tips for People Seeking VSG in TijuanaLet's assume you've made up your mind to travel to Tijuana for vertical sleeve gastrectomy; here are few things that you should do before you hit the road: 1. Never travel alone. Bring your spouse, sibling, cousin or a friend along. You'd be needing some reassurance in a foreign land no matter how cosmopolitan the country may be. Sometimes, if you're on a tight schedule and recovery under the watchful eye of the experts is not possible on account of your early departure from the country, two ears are better than one to ensure that you don't forget post-operative diet plans and other instructions. 2. Prepare a checklist. Packed your medical reports? Is documentation in place? Are you carrying proper clothes for Tijuana weather (this is important because you'd be needing different fit clothes post-surgery.)? There are hundreds of things that you need to consider before you travel. Watch a couple of patient testimonials to be better informed while planning your medical travel itinerary. 3. Check new updates from State Department. The conditions on the ground keep on changing. Check the State Department website for any new updates on crime and violence in Mexico. You don't want to be caught in the crossfire. Contrary to what others would have you believe, your safety lies in your own hands and information can be as good as pepperspray in the troublemakers' eyes. 4. Learn some Spanish. Spanish is fun to learn and would help you get by quickly through the situations. It goes without saying, you should know a little more than "Hola" and "Adios" to save yourself from getting conned. Perhaps a well executed phrase, such as, "¿Puedes llevarme al hotel," may put you at ease and endear you instantly to a cab driver. 5. Explore. This is the most important part of your medical travel. Your medical travel shouldn't only be about getting a gastric sleeve in Tijuana and then flying back. While you're in foreign land, explore it like the early Conquistas. Watch out for "gringo friendly"—a term describing places where communicating in English isn't a problem—restaurants, shops, and hangouts. A non-gringo friendly place doesn't imply that it'd be hostile towards the guests. It just means you need to be a little more patient. US dollars are widely accepted; you should carry some Pesos to be safe. Don't forget to visit Preparatoria Federal Lazaro Cardenas and Avenida Revolucion. Tijuana - A Cultural Melting PotUS-Mexico border at Tijuana is the 'most crossed border' in the world confirming its reputation as a cosmopolitan cocktail of cultures. This city in Baja California is often likened to Miami of the early 80s: vibrant, enigmatic, and fun. Close to San Diego in California, Tijuana air is impregnated with avant-garde counter-culture which places Tijuana directly in the tracks of winds of change. It is shedding its old reputation and is running headlong into the future. The discount pharmacies are disappearing and crime has definitely comedown. The repeated warnings of State Department have made Tijuana look inwards and pull its act together. And medical tourism fraternity is at the helm of this image makeover. Sometimes, a paradigm shift in the regional economy topples the status quo and Tijuana has very well understood this if it wants to enjoy larger chunk of the medical tourism pie in Mexico. Otherwise, it runs the risk of losing a considerable market share to emerging medical tourism centers of Los Algodones, Gualadajara, or Mexicali. With government's stranglehold on crime tightening, Tijuana couldn't be more safer for medical tourists.
