    Not on a computer. Yes there are misspelled words. Some people are quick to question intelligence over misspelled words.

  13. Re: Considering changing to Mexico bariatric center Dr. Cabrera

    I would recommend to change your surgeon. It's not worth the risk.
    I had surgery 6/2/15, 28 years old, and HEATHY.
    I now have a hole in my stomach. It's been HELL.
    While I was there (In Mexico)...

    Re: Almanza bashing and nights spent in hospital

    I do not want to spend more than 1 day in the hospital.
    Most doctors leave people inpatient no more than 2 days anyways.
    I don't know what the big deal is.
    11 days until I leave to TJ woohoo!
