I struggled with obesity all of my adult life, I tried every diet and physical fitness program but they would only last for so long. I would lose 20-30lbs but would put it back on eventually plus more. I knew that I needed something I didn't have control over, and because of medical reasons I knew something had to be done so I checked on different procedures and cause of no insurance I had to find something I could afford and Mexico was affordable for me. I actually met a lady in the grocery store that was a nurse and already had the gastric sleeve done a couple of years ago in Tijuana Mexico, she and several of her friends had been there to have surgery done, so I looked into it and after the fear left I paid my down payment and that was it. This was the best decision I have made in my life, in just 3 months I have lost over 40 lbs and counting. I wished I knew about this years ago and had the finances then, but oh well.
I didn't feel any pain at all till this day, the staff was nice and friendly, the facility is different but clean cause it is in a strip mall and if you are from the states then you expect a different facility but all went well and if I had to do it again I will. I weigh in at 210 and that's obese height 5'4", so get real with yourself and do it for you and your health, you won't regret it don't be concern with what others think or say about something you need to do for you. I prayed and asked God to guide,cover,protect me.
