Hello all. My name is Valerie and I am a 43 yr old and have a BMI of 41.1 at this point. I have just spoke with Kim who is helping me to get scheduled for gastric plication. I hope I am making the right choice. I am very unhealthy and have already had one TIA and am staring down the barrell of a stroke or heart attack with triglycerides running at 1186! I am very scared of leaving the country! A lot of bad press out there for Mexico right now. However, since I will be private pay I feel I have no choice but to leave the US for treatment. Is there anything that I can be doing between now and February that will help to make this process flow as smoothly as possible? I am nervous but I am n=more afraid of my health than anything else. Has anyone been to Tiajuana lately? Do you feel safe there? I appreciate any help and advice anyone can give me.

i recommend Mexicali, Mexico - with Dr. Aceves....he is definitely your best choice. He and his staff are very reliable and professional. If you need more info, please feel free to contact NIna, she's the patient coordinator and she's great as well.
