    Wow! Scary!! You're already so vulnerable at such a time, and to have something so horribly happen... I'm SO glad you and the other patients weren't hurt!

    Oh, awesome. Just what I needed to read before going down there myself next week.... haha! But thanks for the info--I guess it's better to know going into it, even if part of me still wishes I was in the dark... haha! I'm with you Christy--PLEASE let nothing happen while we're down there....

    I am going to go to Mexico in Jan with my sister to get her sleeved. I am sure that this did happen, at the same token, I have to believe that it was STAGED. Maybe someone is trying to make Dr. Almanza look bad? I honestly don't know what to think. I am waiting for Louise to report back to me. It does sound like an inside job---maybe after the $ & Kindle theft, and Sylvester's approaching people to purchase drugs, things got shook up and someone decided to get what they could get before they got fired???? THEN --- on another thought---why would they tie someone up that just had surgery? Like, first off it's not like USA where we call 911---or do they do that in Mexico? Hmmmm----I am sure more will be revealed to us.

    Someone is obviously very pissed at Dr. Almanza...That's the only person they are actually trying to hurt. It is so sad that his reputation should be tarnished. He is an excellent surgeon and truly cares about his patients. Others might be angry that he charges less than they do...Money is, after all, the root of all evil! I sure hope this nonsense ceases, I plan on returning for my Granny Makeover!

    That's too scary for me! I need to know that this dangerous situation is being taken care of before I book my surgery! I'm happy that you and the others were not harmed and thank you for sharing your experience.
