I want to start by saying how scared and excited I was to be going to Mexico to have my Gastric Sleeve surgery. I have wanted WLS for years and my nor my husband's health insurance would cover it. It cost a great deal of money to have WLS in the states and I knew we could not afford it. Then a close friend went to Mexico to Dr. Almanza in Aug of 2017. She was doing great and had a very good experience with him and Mexico so she referred me to Weight Loss Agents in Feb of 2018. Within two days I had a surgery date scheduled. That is when the fear really set in. But I got on the plane and headed to San Diego anyway. I am 15 days post op and have not regretted it at all. I am down 34lbs and already feeling better. I have to say that the hospital was incredible. I wish facilities in the states were that nice. I took a guest with me so I only spent one night at the hospital and the rest of my stay was at the hotel. The Hotel Haciendo Del Rio was very nice and extremely clean. If you are having second thoughts, I completely understand but please do not let them turn you away from it. I turned a lot of my fears over to God and did a lot of praying before I got on that plane. Everything so far has been wonderful for me. Good luck and prayers to anyone looking into changing your life.
