Hi my name is Lisa . I am 44 years of age and have spend a great deal of my life over weight. About six months ago I made the decision to have Gastric Sleeve . My original decision was to do it in the states but my insurance would not cover it at . Here I am at 262 pound feeling miserable like life is passing me by. So I started doing my research on line You Tube and Google . There I found out about Jerusalem Hospital . I was very scared but I had to take a chance on the hospital and myself . I only told a couple of people that I am close to . Some said "Do not go to Mexico ." and other said "Go you will be fine." I went to the Nutritionist learn how to eat , Psychiatrist to get my mind right and ready for the processes, my primary doctor to see if I was physically ready for the surgery , and tried to obtain other insurance before I left and would not be able to afford it or very sick and unable to work . So I went with my sister to Mexico . I had a great experience , it was painful but after a couple of days I began to feel better. I lost 18 pounds since January . I have heard of other losing a great number in a couple of days. I am so happy I feel lighter , my skin looks better , and my confidence is up . That was one of my issues I want to say Thank you to the Doctor and Staff. They were wonderful and kind . For those of you thinking about it do your research and I did an installment plan . That what I did until my surgery date . I came back to the states owing no money to a finance company or to anyone else . That was great because the doctor I had seen in U. S. A. was $25,000 compared to $4,199.00 big difference. Well I can keep writing but I think for know I have written enough . God Bless.
