For so long, I thought this day would never come for me. My husband and I went to Tijuana for MY gastric sleeve surgery and he came to support me. The experience that we had there was awesome. Finally met Dr. Almanza and he is a really cool guy. He's very down to earth and makes you feel like you're a part of the family. All the staff from the hotel, the drivers, coordinators, nurses, kitchen staff and to all the other canidates that we met, it was a pleasure meeting you and sharing in my journey. And yes it's true, they start working for you from start to end. My surgery went well and I'm recovering fine. 6 days post-op and I'm sipping away..lol! I don't ever be hungury, but I do remind myself that it's time to sip on something. Still finding liquids that agree with me so now I'm taking water very well, V8 tropical blend diluted with some water, and apple juice. Was 313 when I finally told myself that's enough. After doing the pre-op diet for two weeks and went down to 297. I weighed on today, Aug. 20th and so far I'm down to 291. "My Greater Is Coming" I have a new outlook on life and a new attitude for great sucess. Before and after pictures will be coming soon.
