  • Name: vcs

  • Surgery: Gastric Sleeve
  • Surgery date: July 8th, 2016

  • Surgeon: Dr. Mario Almanza
I was very hesitant when I found out about the surgery. Even after reading all the testimonials and watching my sister lose weight and become healthy after her surgery, I hesitated. But when my health came to a point where I needed to do something drastic or I would be on dialysis, I decided to go to Mexico and have the surgery.

I have NO regrets except that I wished I had done it earlier. From our pickup at the San Diego airport, driving through the border, check in at hotel and hospital, to pre op tests, surgery, overnight care, hotel nurse station and even the hotel restaurant, EVERYTHING was professional, efficient and accurate. I felt safe and was treated with the utmost care.

I have lost 108 pounds to date (about 9 months) and continue to lose. My weight is way below I ever dreamed I could lose and have not had to go back on my diabetes and high blood pressure medicine since surgery.

I would HIGHLY recommend this surgery and hospital to anyone.
