Yes my health is finally starting to improve slowly 5 months on. It has been a long road, thank you for asking

I had a gastric sleeve done in October 2016 in Tijuana Mexico at Mexico Bariatric Centre. My doctor was Dr Valenzuela. I travelled with my daughter from Calgary. After the operation my leak test was done and recorded on my discharge summary as negative. We left Mexico to go back home flying from San Diego to Seattle. When we were in the air and about 1 hour from Seattle I experience extreme pain that I can only explain as having a heart attack. I was met on the ground by an ambulance and taken to hospital where the doctor found a 6mm hole in my stomach. I was then rushed into emergency for a 4 hour operation and spent 10 days in hospital at a cost of $122,000. After returning to Calgary I checked in with my doctor who sent me for a CT scan where it was discovered that I had an absess on my spleen. I have been unable to go back to work at this time and been bed ridden and house bound other that visits to the doctors and hospital. We contacted the customer service for the company Kristi Morris and her boss Brian. Dr Valenzuela requested the surgical report which we sent by email. I had 1 call from Kristi when I was in the hospital to find out what had happened after the doctor in Seattle had called the clinic in Mexico. Up to now there has been no apology or contact or even concern regarding my health. Just remember once they have you money and you have left the country they couldn't care less about you. My health has suffered a massive setback and financially my family has suffered as well as emotionally.
