    I had my surgery in Mx and am certain I could NEVER have had the quality of care or professionals here in the states that I received there. My primary surgeon has preformed over 8000 bariatric surgeries. He lives in the US. Works in Tiajuana. My experience was more like being at a spa than a hospital. Everything state of the art. A small facility but very professional and secure. I had 3 doctors in surgery with me plus the nurse and anesthesiologist. I have never been treated as well or cared for like that any hospital in the US. I had absolutely no pain at all. My doctors and healthcare providers dropped in to check on me. Sat and talked, dicussed a book I was reading. They were in an out numerous times a day. There were only 6 beds in the entirely facility. The level of care was exceptional. My husband was very much against me going to MX. By the time our experience was over, he stated that we should go back to MX if we ever needed anything else medical. He was extremely impressed....which is not an easy thing to do.

    Dr. Ortez was my first choice but, because I didn't have the extra 3,000. I refinded my search and am now going with Dr. Kelly, I hope that I made the right decision, but Dr. Ortiz credentials were amazing! wish I did have him as my dr. but I am sure when I do get it done dr. kelly will do great, he has wonderful credentials also.

    I just ordered Dr. Alvarez's book. Thanks. Perhaps it will help me with the anxiety I am having about the surgery.

    Dr Kelly was an amazing dr. i couldn't have asked for better care, my husband didn't want me to have the surgery, but after we got there, everyting was great. I had a lot of personalcare during my stay.

    Congratulations to everyone on their weight loss. What a great journey from when this thread started 9 months ago!!! We did it baby!

    @Yankegal...Yay! Glad you were happy with your surgeon after all. Best of luck and a speedy recovery!

    @Christy...The book is very informative. Having anxiety is normal, but don't worry. The surgery takes about 45 minutes and you will be up and walking the halls the same day. Think about your new life as a hot mama! Good luck.

    @Bob...Way to go amigo! Thats 3 sets of 35 pounds you have lost!

    Thanks & I'm not going any where & love to help encourage people where I can & tell my story so they can learn from my experience & My experience was great, I know we hear Horror stories & thats what was always in my mind & I even broke down & started crying like a little girl fearing I would maybe be one of those sad stories you hear about, But thankfully I went for it & love life & appreciate every day more than ever before.
