All my life I have struggled with my weight, I have tried every diet out there and some worked for a little bit but inevitably after a while the weight would start coming back on, at my heaviest I was at 467 at that point the doctors told me that weight loss surgery was medically necessary otherwise my health would deteriorate quickly and I wouldn t live much longer. That s when I started looking for a way to get the surgery, our insurance refused to cover any of the cost so I knew I was going to be responsible for every penny. Surgery stateside was going to cost a minimum of $10,000 and I just didn t have it. That s when I heard about going to Mexico and I honestly believe that this is what is going to save my life. My journey begins now.
