Competent and professional (08/16/2012)
Would I do it again? Yes I would. Once I decided that I had to do something and P90X wasn’t cutting it for me, the cost of the surgery in the USA was just too expensive, the choice was easy. I was able to make payments and had the procedure paid for in no time. I scheduled the trip, flew to San... * read more.
Happy I finally did it. (08/16/2012)
I was unable to have bariatric surgery in the U.S. because my health insurance would not cover it & could not afford to pay cash for it myself. I began the medical insurance process 5 years ago at age 35. I worked it from every avenue I could for over a year, but to no avail. I gave up for a while... * read more.
I will Never Be the same!!!! (08/16/2012)
I just want to let anyone who is considering having the Gastric Sleeve surgery in Tijuana, Mexico know that I had my procedure done by Dr. Mario Almanza at Jerusalem Hospital on May 31,2012 and would do it all over again today if i had to. I have NO regrets.
From the moment i contacted the patient... * read more.
Slow process (08/16/2012)
I was lucky and had been warned by my brother who had been there the month before to have the surgery as to what to expect, otherwise I think I might have backed out of the entire thing. Now that I see how easy it was I would like to go back and have some work done on my arms. If you are planning on... * read more.
Sure wish I would have done it sooner!! (08/16/2012)
After a lot of research and serious contemplation, I decided to head to Mexico to get a gastric sleeve... WOW~~ I wish I would have done it sooner!! It has been almost 9 months and my life has completely changed. I have lost 100 pounds and am feeling like I am 30 years old again. My experience wi... * read more.

It IS Life-changing...for the better! (08/16/2012)
Hi, I'm Darlene. I have always been a prisoner to my weight issues. Every fad diet out there had to be tried...the egg diet, the cabbage soup diet, atkins, weight watchers, blah, blah, blah. Yes, I'd lose...and then I'd gain and gain. At my surgery date, I was the heaviest I had ever been - 240 ... * read more.
5th Month Anniversary (08/16/2012)
I would do it all over again in a HEART BEAT. This is my fifth month anniversary of my surgery. So far I have lost 79lbs and 67 inches. I have not been at this weight in 20 years. I am thankful for making the decision for surgery. I only wish I had done it sooner. I’m still on my weight loss j... * read more.
3 months post op and the weight is just melting away, it was the best decision I made this year. (08/16/2012)
I have to say I was skeptical to be traveling to an area of the world that I did not even speak the language. I read many of the testimonials from those who had been to the clinic, but there was one you-tube experience that alleviated my concerns the most I am going to paste it here it may help you... * read more.
Life after bariatric surgery! (08/16/2012)
I don't even know where to begin. I was in bad health and almost 75 pounds overweight with hypertension, high cholesterol and borderline diabetes. I tried every diet under the sun without much success; I soon regained the weight I lost and then some. I made the decision to have the gastric surgery a... * read more.
