Just a little update. I have lost 80 pounds and feeling great!!! No regrets. And highly recommend!!!!

I was close to 330 pounds and knew I had to make a change. I did not want to go anywhere because I was ashamed of who I allowed myself to become. I had done almost every diet out there. I just was tired of fighting hunger and craving. I heard about lap band and started to do some research. I quickly identified I did not want that procedure. That lead me my gastric sleeve and bypass. I did not feel comfortable with the bypass and decided in gastric sleeve. Now to find a surgeon. I found a surgeon and started to research him. The surgeon had good reviews, so I set up the conference. Went to the conference and another surgeon was there. I was not impressed.
I was going through BarriatricPal forum and went to the Mexico section. I was just curious and really did not think it was an option. I read some reviews and was impressed. I started looking at different surgeons and found Dr. Altamirano. I watched his utube videos and it made a lot of sense. I kept doing more research, education myself on the whole process the best I could. I made an inquiry to get more information and set up a Skype. Within a short period of time Dr. A got back to me and set up the appointment.
Did the Skype session, but really did not ask a lot of questions. I done a lot of research, and made the decision to go forward. Dr. A sent some forms to fill out. Filled out the forms and paid deposit. I also joined the best support group ever (Dr. Altamirano on Facebook).
Fly into Mexico August 11, 2015. I was picked up within 5 minutes by Roberto with Baririatric Pal. He took my wife and another client to the Hospitla. We were treated very well and the proceeds of getting cleared began. The Hospitla is Oasis of Hope and is very clean. I found the staff there very nice. Dr.A and his staff come by and spoke with me and said I was the first up. I will not lie, I got scared. Went the operating room and they were getting me ready. Dr. A kept talking to me and telling it was going to be alright. Right before I went under he stood next me and reassured me it was going to be ok. The next think I remember is I was back in my room, feeling very groggy. I was very hot, but they got me a fan right away and that helped a lot. Dr. A and his team kept in contact with my wife, which she appreciated.
Each hour that passed I felt better and better. Started walking about 5 hours after surgery.
Discharged the next day and went to the recovery house. It was very nice. Met Juan and he too care of my wife and I. He urged to walk and walk. While walking he told me a lot about the history of TJ. Very grateful for Juan pushing me to walk.
Summary: I have lost 17 pounds so far and feeling great!!!!! Dr. A and BarriatricPal have been great. Thanks to Anna, Henry, Sherman, Roberto and Juan. I will be forever grateful to all of you.
I highly recommend Dr. Altamirano and BarriatricPal 1000000 percent.

Awesome!! You will not regret!!!

Never regretted my decision. Have a great surgery.

I went with Dr. A and would do it again in a heart beat. Dr. A and his team are professional and very helpful.. Mexico gets a bad rap for a few doctors. Dr. A is great and if you have a question, he answers. The support you get is the best. Highly recommend!!! Join the support group and see for yourself.

Sorry for some English mistake. I did this on my phone.

I had surgery August 11, and would highly recommended Dr. A. Dr. A and his team were professional, but caring. The incisions are healing and can't really tell anymore where the incision was. I would do it it over in a heart beat and just wished I had found Dr. A a long time ago.

Just go to utube and type Dr. A name. It will pop up with some reviews also. Have you joined the support group? If you have not, please do. Great group of people.

I am hoping to go mid sept, and with DR.A

thanks so much everyone

I agree with dlm77. I just had the exact same experience with Dr. A and couldn't be happier with the experience. Everyone that cringes with fear when they hear about surgery in Mexico does so out of ignorance. I was one of the those people, but research and reading calmed my fears, and eventually the experience solidified what I already knew. Mexico is where you want to go to have your procedure because of their expertise, practice, and pioneering techniques.
