    Default Michigan to Mexico

    Any sleevers out there in West mi I live in Grand Rapids and would love to get together with folks that have had this done. I will be going to Mexico the end of June and it can't happen fast enough. Keep posting all the good advice, it is very helpful. I was banded in 2009 but had to have the band removed in 10-2010 due to scar tissue. My weight right now is about 215 but was 245 before I got the band. I had gotten down to 170 but could barely drink water for the last couple of weeks before they took the band out. I will be seeing Dr. Almanza and everything sound good about him and his staff. My husband will be there to help as well and we are looking forward to the get away.
    Thanks,
    Sally

    I live in Grand Rapids too, but I had the procedure done on 1/23/12 through Grand Health Partners. I'm all for getting together or answering whatever questions I can. Keep in touch with your how you're doing!

    hi, i just had my lap band removed and a sleeve performed by dr. almanza. loved the experience. tell your hubby to bring something with him to do. the partners that were there for support were pretty bored. or they ended up playing nurse.

    Hi
    I live in Monroe and had the sleeve done in Yispilanti Mi. On March 26 2012 best thing I ever did it was not bad if you had a band you will do just fine. Can I as why Mexico My sister wants this done but her insurance will not cover Mexico could be for her too.

    Hi Monroe,
    Yes, it is the insurance is the reason I am going to Mexico. I had the band done in Mexico so I know they take good care of you. Glad to hear you had a good experience. You will be a shining example for your sister. I will let you know of my experience when I get back. Can't wait.
