  1. Sorry for the double post. My phone is going crazy on me
  2. Not only did I spend months, not Weeks, stalking this site before I became a member, I also directly messaged no less than 10 of each Drs past patients BC I wanted 1st hand answers to my questions. Then I flat out asked Almanza's coordinator,I believe her name is Louise, who confirmed every single thing I just posted. So I guess Ur right. I don't know 1st hand. And I won't either BC those situations are not something I want to deal with. ME, personally. I'm thankful and happy that you were ok with it and had an amazing experience. Kudos to u. So many people say "well what do u expect for that kinda money"or "what do u expect your going to Mexico"... What I expect is the same or better care and situations that I'd have in the USA. No less.
  3. I didn't go with Almanza for several reasons. He practices in a small office in a strip mall. His recovery house, which is overcrowded, had a robbery. I don't care of the thief was working for him and got fired or not. If it was an inside job it shows what type of person he hires to care for his wards. The staff at the recovery house are always cooking and hardly speak English. And God forbid someone say a negative word about him or Dr Kelly on this site or you get jumped all over. I don't care what caused the death of one of Dr Kelly's patient. I want a Dr with a 0% mortality rate who can practice in more than one hospital of he so chooses. Ur not gonna get that in either of those Drs. And it really pisses me off that some of the negative comments are removed from this site. A person should hear the good, the bad and the ugly in other to make an informed decision. Now let's see how many people I just angered by stating the facts
  4. I'm having mine done with DR Gonzalez through Mexico surgery solutions. It's different in several ways. The patient director is in the USA so u always have someone here when u get back for questions, nutrition support and a virtual gym partner. They only use members of the Baja Med group. Their Drs aren't limited to practice in just one facility like so many others, you can have your surgery at any hospital including the center of excellence. I'm only paying 6300 for everything
  5. Well the feeling is definitely mutual littlebits!
  6. I don't care what anyone else thinks. I never have. I'm actually documenting every strip along the way on YouTube if u wanna check it out. it's www.YouTube.com/shesstrangelynormal
  7. i think u mean fly to San Diego. go to mexicosurgerysolutions.com. I'm going thru there
  8. I'm July 19th as well in Tijuana. I'll be getting sleeved by Dr Gonzalez
  9. i was told to either go brush my teeth (Nobody wants to eat after that), chew on the end of a straw or munch soft ice when I wanted to snack from boredom and I'm already halfway thru a box of straws and I'm still PRE OP. but I'm down over 10 pounds
  10. will do, and u can follow my weirdness on youtube. I'm "shesstrangelynormal"
  11. limited fruit is ok, like berries...veggies are fine....stay the heck away from any type of dessert if u value ur life.lol
  12. Thanks y'all. I need all the support I can get
  13. So I haven't had any sugar for at least two Weeks BC I am preparing for my pre op...then t the cursed cheer Danish taunted me. Don't fall for it people. The Danish only wants to give u monkey-butt! I've spent more time in the bathroom than out. Screw sugar. It ain't worth it... Now to locate the desitin....
  14. Thanks. I really want others to know the real deal when it comes to traveling to Mexico for any medical procedure. I plan on showing the good, the bad and the ugly on my vlog
  15. One of the main keys is fluids intake. But you definitely hit the nail on the head.we need to really get in gear and stay that way.educate ourselves as much as possible BC there is no going back after this.if Ur not ready for a complete lifestyle change then the surgery isn't for u
  16. I think a lot of it depends on who you're surgeon is as well
  17. July 19 with the amazing Dr Gonzalez
  18. My surgery is July 19th. I'm not using Dr Kelly, but I'll be rooting you on in my hospital room
  19. Yay! Congrats to you!! Mine isn't until July 19 so I'm a little envious lol.
  20. There is a faster lane for medical tourism.
  21. It'll get better each day. Glad Ur back home n on the road to recovery
