I was so scare to travel by myself to San Diego for my surgery that I did not sleep well at all! When I got there I stayed in a hotel n first thing in the morning I got a taxi n went back to the airport where a driver from Jerusalem Hospital was going to pick me up n take me to Tijuana that was scary too but while I was waiting this group spotted me they were there for the same thing and they welcome me with open arms! We took before pictures n we became friends! When we got to the hospital they treated us like family everything was so clean and nice I felt better than we all met Dr Almanza so sweet n the nurse were all awesome! Before my surgery they took a picture with me n Dr Almanza that was emailed to be later! My surgery went well I felt real good n no pain! We stayed there over night than the next morning they drove us to the house we were going to spend a couple of days in recovery we were welcomed by Madrina the most caring nurse I have ever met! We took pictures we went with the driver shopping and had a blast! I recommend this surgey to anyone that is struggling with weight I started with 203 lbs n now after 1 year I'm 113 lbs lighter! I'm not going to lied I still struggle eating cuz now I eat like a bird but happy to be able to fly n feel good with myself! I met a wonderful man n can't ask for more in life!
