    I'm not from Louisiana, but I thought I'd reply anyway. I am current in the MI Doctor hospital. Everything is going great.the doctors and nurses are great and everyone is so friendly. I am really glad I have taken this route.

    I am not from LA either, but I did fly from Atlanta to San Diego. My driver, Ernie, picked us up at the airport along with 3 other lovely ladies, and we went to see Dr. Sergio Quinones. I had a wonderful experience with the Dr., staff, hospital and hotel in Tijuana. I went through the same mixed emotions, is it safe, is this a scam, how good is the doctor, etc. But after doing some research I believe I made the right decision. Hope this helps some.

    Weight just after surgery 195 (probably from all the vomitting)

    We went to Tijuana @ Hospital Jerasulam w/Dr.Almanza. His Mother & Cousin had both been for the band and last year for the sleeve. I would've been to scared if it wasn't for them going. To be honest I was still skeptical about it before as well. I was warned and I guess you should also, remember its not the States! Things are done different but it is still safe. I feel as if the place we went to should be called the Clinic of Surgeons instead of hospital cause its not a hospital. The hotel I went to was safe and it was comfortable as well. I never for a brief second was concerned for my safety or his. Well, I had the natural concern for his safety, I would've felt like that no matter where I was. Everything is fine health wise while you are there. I feel that when you come home its all about the way you take care of yourself how the rest of the situation goes. While I was there I was concerned I'd be kidnapped and sold for sex slavery, considering my size & all. I was care free once I got there though. I walked the streets while he was in recovery & I was unarmed! Now, being from New Orleans may make you feel a bit more safe possibly. I mean if we can walk around here and not fear our life why shouldn't we there. At the hotel the hey a cop on every corner and the later it got the more they had. I went to the French Market about 20+ blocks away on foot & I didn't see as many the further out I got. It's like they have the cops there for our protection knowing there are tourist there. Have fear and feel normal that you are doing so but live!
    In 1999 I was at 320 lbs. In 2009 I was at 265 lbs.
    Most I've weighed is before surgery.
    Lost 20 lbs through pre-op diet.
