BEFORE I HAD MY SURGERY I HAD REACHED THE HIGEST WEIGHT OF MY LIFE. I WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY OWN SKIN. I WOULD GO TO WORK & COME HOME FROM WORK, I WOULD AVOID BEING SEEN OUT IN PUBLIC AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, I GREW UP IN A VREY SMALL TOWN, SO CHANCES OF ME RUNNING INTO PEOPLE I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH OR GREW UP WITH WAS VERY LIKELY & I COULD NOT LET THEM SEE ME LIKE THIS. SO I LIVED THE LIFE OF A HERMIT CRAB. NEVER SOCIALIZED WITH FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF WORK. I FELL INTO DEPRESSION. SO AFTER MUCH RESEARCH & LOGGING INTO GASTRICSLEEVE.COM AND TALKING TO THE PEOPLE THERE, MY MIND WEAS MADE UP, I WAS HAVING THE SLEEVE SURGERY, AND SINCE I WAS A SELF PAY I COULD NOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT DONE IN THE STATES, SO I WENT TO MEXICO, GLAD I DID, THE PATIENT CARE IS SO MUCH BETTER THERE & THE FACILITIES ARE 1000 TIMES CLEANER THERE AS WELL. (I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR HOSPITAL JERUSALEM) THIS IS WHERE I HAD MY SURGERY WITH DR ALMANZA.... HE GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK & I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER
