  1. Hello again and thank you so much for taking the time respond to my post, like I mentioned before I had my appointment to see Dr. Francisco Gonzalez on the 22nd of October and guess what...I WAS AFRAID ! and rescheduled. Finally I went in for my life changing appointmet November 2nd. by then I gained 3 more pounds, can you beleve it ? I'm proud of my self now, I went in for my consultation with hundreds of questions and I have to say Dr. Gonzalez is so understanding and kind when I came out of his office I felt like some one had, for the first time understood how I felt for so many years.
  2. 2 years ago something bad happened in my marriage it was very depressing for me and started to gain MORE weight than the 25 lbs I had already gained since the birth of my 4th child , to make a long and depressing story short here I'm 79 lbs overweight ,divorced and single mom of 4. I have tried every single diet or trick you can imagine to loose weight and couple of times I have lost up to 25 lbs only to gain it back and then some... I have 3 friends that had the lapband surgery done and for the first couple of years were doing wonderful later 2 of the had the lapband removed and had the gastric sleeve done...so I'm considering very strongly to skip all that and just have the sleeve surgery done, I have been doing a lot of research as well as attend a couple of seminars and think this is the best choice for me, now comes another challenge choosing the right doctor.I'm self pay and considering having surgery done in Tijuana Mexico, I live in San Diego and Tijuana is just across the border , I have an appointment to see Dr. Francisco Gonzalez in two weeks , 2 friends of mine had the surgery done with him not too long ago and they are an inspiration to me they are a different and happier person now , and I really need some of that in my life before I go crazy... any advise?
