Everyone thought I was crazie for going to tj Mexico for surgery but I read reviews and had known others who went and had the gastric sleeve. So I had surgery on may 28th and I can say the care was above awesome. I had no pain at all. I a few gas bubbles. I will say the nurses were fabulous and stayed on top of things. My weight started at 242 surgery weight 227 as of today I'm at 208lbs my girl is to get to 160lbs.. Dr. Almanza was great also I might add and with my new start at life I feel I will be able to reach my goal. Is the pre op diet and sleeve easy ? NO but so worth it a big life change and I would recommend anyone considering having it done to just do it.. I'm off all BP meds and diabetic meds and feel so much better..
