I was very nervous about going to Mexico to have this surgery but once I got to Tijuana I was greeting by amazing people who reassuring me that I was at the best, I have met people who have been there before with other people that had the surgery and was there to have their surgery. I met this lady who came down didn't have appointment but on the waiting list she didn't get in that day but got in the next day I saw her before I let and she was doing really well. But and how well I got in to be interview with the dr Almanza who is so soothing to me I felt so relax after talking with him. After having lab work done and meeting the nurse I told her its hard to get an IV in but the put a hot water bottle on my arm and BAM!!! She had it in fasting then anybody in the U.S. after prepping me I gone to surgery next I knew I was done absolutely no pain. I just had nausea and I was nervous about the removal of the draining tube didn't feel a thing. They even to us sightseeing I can't say enough if I had to do it again I would in a heartbeat and to this day I lost 85lbs. Oh did I say I travel alone by myself just to let you know
