When I set out on my journey to find options for Weight Loss Surgery I was hesitant about going to a different country....but after many months of research and talking to the staff at Weight Loss Agents my fears were laid to rest. Everyone was great!

After being picked up at the airport by the shuttle and arriving at the Jerusalem Hospital my experience was very welcome. The staff and Dr. Almanza are very knowledgeable and make it their goal to provide comfort for you and your guest. I was the last to have my surgery at the facility that day, but everyone was still great and not like doctors offices here where the staff start trying to rush you.

The nurses were very caring and the next morning after the initial checkups we were taken to the Hotel Ticuan, which is lovely. The nursing staff on duty checks on you regularly and are available any time for you to call if you need anything. The popsicles are the best!!

I would say that for a first time experience things were good. Of course it is different from the United States, but the owners of the facility and Dr. Almanza are doing a great job to take care of our needs and I when I am ready to go back to have skin removal surgery, I won't even have to think twice.

To date I have lost 145 lbs. and still losing. I feel great!!
