Let me start off by saying that I have tried and failed to lose weight for many years. I would try ANYTHING that seemed to work for friends &/or co-workers, so when one of my co-workers had lost noticeable weight I asked what she was doing. She told me she went to Mexico and surgery, my interest was peaked. I went to the web site explored everything on the page, asked questions, made the arrangements, had the surgery. The experience was AMAZING, EVERYONE, Dr.'s, nurses, staff, were professional, knew what their job was and did it exceptionally. The medical care I received was above and beyond any care I have ever received in the US. And all of the staff were very friendly, they genuinely cared about me and how I was doing, not just my body but me, they treated me like a person and not just a patient, I was greeted with a smile and when it was time for me to I got a hug from one of the nurses. My experience, from start to now, one week after surgery, was and still is supportive, caring, and positive. Thanks for reading, Gina C
