Hey Everybody!
If you have considered going to another country to be sleeved you might want to consider Nicaragua, Central America. I am planning on being sleeved here next week, so I will be able to tell you if I can fully recommend my doctor after the surgery, :thumbup1:but he speaks english and the hospital that they have here is so nice. I have been living here in Nicaragua for the last 5 yrs. and my daughter was born here as well. I honestly feel more comfortable with the doctors and hospital here than in the U.S. Also the doctors here give you their home and cell no. and you can call them anytime. I know since I am self-pay that it has been really hard for me to decide what to do. If I wasn't able to get this done for this price I really doubt that I would be doing it.
