I have been steadily gaining weight for the past 5 years, the last 3 being really bad after an accident that left me in constant pain and unable to work. I started going to weight watchers, where I met a lady who had gone to Tijuana a couple of years ago and has since lost 220 lbs. This success story is what started me on this journey to regain control of my life and health, so I began researching the Gastric Sleeve surgery and focused on doctors in Tijuana. The interesting part of this story is the fact that during this time, I was going to physical therapy and was chatting with the receptionist about life and she was in contact with weight loss agents on her phone as we were talking. I got the website from her later that day and filled out the forms on the website and within a couple of days I was setting the date for my surgery with Dr. Almanza.

I had my surgery December 4, 2014 and have since lost almost 50 lbs. and am feeling really positive and hopeful about getting my life back. I'm certainly glad I got this done, although I must admit I still miss being able to eat o good meal with my wife, lol.

If you're concerned, the pain I experienced was very minimal, there is discomfort and I'm still learning to eat with my new stomach but all in all, I'd definitely do this again, I already notice how much better I feel every day.
