GaGirl77 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 My question is this... (one of my "brainy" friends asked me...) If the water isn't safe to drink, how do the drs scrub in, wash laundry, etc?? Is there some sort of water purification system at OCC and Lucerna? :-?

MamaMichelle Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I drank the water at the Lucerna, I brought bullion cubes and used tap water in my soup and never had any problems. The hotel does provide bottled water in the room free so if you are that concerned you can use that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazn Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hey I was banded on March 17th - and I am still not sure about the water. At the Lucerna you have bottled water waiting on you in your room and when housekeeping cleans the room daily they leave two new bottles. I also ordered water with a meal and they brought me bottled water so I probably would not drink out of the faucet. Anyway - As far as how they scrub in....I do remember seeing Dr. Martinez scrubbing in in a room beside the OR. The suits look like the one's our surgeons use and the nurse's tied the back just like they do where I work (so that their hands remain sterile). Please do not worry about stuff like that. Being a nurse, I was so skeptical.....but you will see when you get there that everything is so clean and legit. I was taken very, very good care of. What part of GA are you from and when are you being banded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaGirl77 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm from North GA... Cartersville area. My band date is May 22. Thanks for the reassuring. But you know when your friends act freaked out because you're going to Mexico and ask crazy questions, you wanna have answers for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontondan Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I read in an informational site on Tijuana that their water is treated nowadays and is safe for drinking, washing, etc. So no need for concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 We drank bottled water while we were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 My husband and I have stayed at resorts all over Mexico and I can only recall 2 places (neither are anywhere near TJ) that had signs on the bathroom faucet, mirrors and in the showers WARNING you not to drink the water. I would say if there's not a sign you'll be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
