Hello,

Seeking a friend/buddy for mutual support for both of us as we travel to Tijuana to have the Gastric Sleeve Procedure. I am female, 58 and have already been to Mexico @ Hospital Angeles in 2008 to have Lap Band, then had it removed, just did not work for me, no complications. I have an excellent surgeon I have complete faith in and want to return to do the Gastric Sleeve sometime in 2015, preferably early in 2015. I have rising LDL levels, and heel spurs in both heels along with menopause, so losing weight for me is necessary, however very difficult at this age with no way to really walk like I used to as well as hormonal changes.

I think the "key" to success is support. (assuming the commitment to oneself is there also).

Anyone want to begin a phone conversation/email to see if we can go on this adventure together ? Just make the trip together, bring a friend/relative of our own also if desired, and then do phone support for each other post surgery ? I am willing to share my excellent and affordable experience in Mexico to help you feel at ease and you help me make the trip just as a buddy ? I have no needs, just a compassionate set of ears and a good heart to go with me, you know?

Let me know! Peace and Blessings! We can do this!

I'm booked Nov 7 at Mi Hospital with Dr. Valenzuela for gastric sleeve. It's my first surgery. Totally nervous
