Hi, just discovered this website and I'm loving reading everyone's stories and comments. Since I'm a uninsured American, and this procedure is cheaper in Mexico, that's the route I'm going to take. I am kinda curious who people would recommend? I'm looking to do this next march or April in Tijuana. How was the atmosphere, did you feel safe as an American in a border town? Let me know please . I have been overweight my whole life, and I am at my heaviest ever. 330 lbs. so I decided that this is the option I was going to go for. I feel like its my last option to lose weight and have a happier life.

I was sleeved May 15 if this year by Dr Almanza in TJ MX- I was 254 -4 days preop, and today I'm 152. Size 24 day of surgery, today size 6.

If you have questions about anything please feel free to message :-)

Good luck in your research!

I will be going to dr Ponce feb 3!

I am also going in February Dr Garcia

Sorry I just saw your post, I'll be sleeved on Feb 21. When are you going?

_{I feel better about my choice to go now. I will have my sleeve done in one week. I had a friend who went a couple of years ago and she looks amazing now....and no complications. She went with Dr. Almanza at Jersuelum Hospital. I chose Dr. Garcia. I to am uninsured and i paid out of pocket. If i didnt have a friend who went threw it already and lived to tell me i proably wouldnt do it!.....I wish you sucess on your travel and surgery,,,}
