After five years of yo-yo dieting and many failed attempts at getting healthy, I decided to fly to Mexico to get the sleeve done. I am from Canada, and the waiting list is almost 2 years. Also, I am "just" very obese and not morbidly, and had no other pre-existing health conditions, which push me to the back of the line when it comes to surgery.

My surgery date was November 21st, 2012 of this year and my surgery was performed by Dr. Almanza. I have made a video that tells my story, but am having trouble uploading it-boooo!

Please feel free to add me as a friend, or follow my progress at Tijuana, etc.

Cheers!
