I can honestly say that I would not hesitate to make the journey again if I had to. Dr. Almaza and his staff are nothing short of angels. They gave me a new lease on life. As of two weeks ago I am 100 lbs down and still going. I have about 5 more to go till I reach goal. Anyone who has asked about my weight loss I practically sign Dr. Almaza's name in praise. I know it may sound hooky but it is true. I am not a paid spokes person I am a father, husband and a regular person.

The facility is well laid out and very clean. The staff truly cares about the well being of the patients and will take the time to answer any questions or concerns one might have. Once the surgery was completed I woke up in the recovery room and was taken to my room for the night. I was able to get a half decent night sleep. The next morning I was taken to the hotel where a nurse was waiting for the group. We checked into our rooms. I brought a guest with me so I had a personal room with my wife. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous! It was a 4 or 5 star hotel, not what you would think a hotel in Tijuana would look like. It just was this oasis in the middle of town. I could not ask for anything more from the hotel staff or the onsite nurse. The broth you have access to is delicious. Anytime you need anything you just call the nurse and they will come directly to your room to assist.

The hardest part about the whole trip was the trip home from San Diego. We did not make it home until 3am the next day.

If anyone would like to talk to me about the process you can find me on GastricSleeve.com under losing4good or i believe that Weight Loss Agents have permission to share my cellphone number with people.
