Well I just got back yesterday from Tijuana and have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised. Everything was great for my surgery and the people that work there are so nice. My coordinator Melissa from Obese Solutions was very helpful both before and during my stay. I though it was wonderful that she was there in person. Dr. Almanza was very nice and professional and always had a smile on his face. I love that he took the time to explain the procedure to me and the others in my group. We had a group of 7 people. 5 sleeves and 2 bypasses in all. They did all the surgeries in the first day after our tests except for one person who happened to have a kidney problem and they wanted to observe him for one more day. I have to admit the gas pain was the worst. The drainage tube was gross and I was so glad when it came out. The recovery house was nice and comfortable with live in caregivers. If this were something I was going to need to do again I'd do it. But maybe I'll go down for a visit sometime if I'm in the area or if my boyfriend decides to go next year for his sleeve. They were very nice to him also and he got things like Cookies and pizza with Dr. Betancourt and some of the other spouses. I'm 4 days post op and feel great, a little sore and glad to be going back to work today. If anyone wants to talk about their experience or ask any questions please feel free to ask. All of you have been so helpful with answering my questions. Talk to you later and enjoy this new life we're given.

Thanks,
