My whole life I have always been the tallest and biggest! I had a football scholarship and an injury took that away. After that injury I lost self esteem and gain more and more weight I was broken my insurance would not pay for this surgery! So my mother researched and found Dr. Almanza she was so scared and sceptical but took the chance. We arrived in Mexico Monday night and we both were nervous but in less then an hour will say I made the right move my surgery was Tuesday June 25, 2013 and to see my mom so relaxed and talking with the doctors and the way Dr. Boncorte treated everyone was amazing!! My mom who works in a emergency department didn't want to leave. We both left Mexico with new friends and a mission to say put your fears away this was the best thing that has ever happen to us!!! I will tell every person even if your insurance covers you still get a bill after surgery way more then the cost of Jerusalem clinic! And the care you get is priceless never would happen in the states!! Thank you all for my new life! And my mom coming back with my aunt! I am five days out of surgery and twenty pounds lighter will post pictures soon! Good luck and believe me you made the right choice!
