As you can expect I was very nervous about traveling to Mexico for surgery, not only because it is a different country, but a major surgery! The whole process was smooth sailing, I was amazed at how easy everything was, from setting up the surgery to the paperwork to traveling and the surgery itself. Dr. Almanza was great and the hospital staff was very friendly and helpful. Prior to starting on this journey my highest weight was 242 pounds, I was embarrassed to even say that out loud. It's been 9 months now and I feel great, i'm now at 175, a total of 67 pounds down so far.
