- Surgeon: Dr. Mario Almanza
When I arrived at the airport and called the number given, I waited maybe 4 to 5 minutes. I was picked up by a nice gentleman and we headed right over the border to the hotel.
I lucked out the first night and got to have a room by myself. The room was very nice and spacious. A tad bit noisy but the room was facing the street.
The next morning I met the other people having surgery that day, their were 7 of us altogether. We went to the clinic bright and early. A nice small establishment but well maintained and clean. The staff doing the surgery introduced themselves and meet with each patient.
We each had our surgeries. Some just had the sleeve. I had a lapband removed and then the sleeve. I woke up in my room and all in all was fine. My pain was more discomfort but totally fine and the nurses seemed to check in at a good amount of time to check bandages and give meds and fluids. We all spent the night there.
The next day we went back to the hotel. This time I had to share a room but my roommate was very nice.
The rest of the trip was resting and walking. Nurses routinely came to change bandages and give meds.
On the day I flew back I was the lastest flight so it was just myself and one other and the driver. We went thru the border no problem. and he dropped us off at the airport.
I am so very glad I had the procedure and totally recommend using this service to anyone.
