    Sleeved 4/18/15. Down 99 pounds. Went from size 22 to 12. No complications at all I take vitamins and eat food prepared at home (not fast food). Didn't see much of the dr but he did a good job. I felt well enough to go shopping while I was there. They take care of you.

    I had surgery March 15. Best decision of my life. I am down 91 lbs and Workout 5 days a week and stay on a clean diet. I had an awesome experience with Dr. Almanza and his team. I had very little pain and no complications. Just nausea from the anthesthia woke up. My advice would be do not go expecting a five star hotel or hospital. It is very clean and I had great care it's just not as updated as hospitals in the states. Also, try to get up and walk as soon as possible and do lots of walking. Good luck to you!!

    I have concerns also but, just gonna do it! Scheduled 1/26! Eating healthier than ever and just not losing- thanks menopause! Hormones screw a woman's whole life up, I swear! I want to finish my bucket list not end up in the bucket!

    I'm a RN and taking my bestie also a RN with me! Have her durable power of attorney and Healthcare proxy! Checked us in with State Department also- yeah a little paranoid!

    My biggest concern is a leak or infection! I've traveled and done medical work in various places. If those people can survive those medical conditions, I can also!

    Not expecting resort accommodations but clean and good care then good deal!

    Best of luck! Update me if you would please since your going before me! Maybe someone on here will be there at the same time for you!

    I had my surgery 6/4 and was glad I did. In fact, I wished I had done this two years ago. His staff was great not too mention I met someone that I now keep in contact with and we keep each other encourage. I wish you well.

    Anyone have any tips or things they wished they have known ahead of time, or wished they had brought to Mexico with them? I am having surgery with Dr. Almanza July 27th, 2016! The hotel is nice and clean? Outside around the hotel nice enough for my Parents to go get something to eat, since they are accompanying me.

    I am currently thinking about getting the sleeve, possibly in August 2016. I am super nervous about the fact it is in Mexico and I may have to go by myself. Can anyone tell me how the pain was or how their trip back went?
