  1. I have my sleeve done at the end of August in Tijuana Mexico with dr. Almanza... Wonderful experience they are in a clinic Which if you think about it a lot of your follow up appointments in aftercare is going to be in a place like that Back in the States not in a full blown hospital. They are friendly knowledgeable and very clean . After I lose my weight completely I will be going back for a makeover. They do not use the recovery house anymore. You send 1 or 2 nights at the clinic which has a Separate sterile operating room. Then you stay at Hotel ticuan For the next 1 or 2 night depending on how you are recovering. I did not have to pay for any of the hotel but I went by myself Because I did not want to have to deal with other people in real food Rate after my surgery and trying to recover. You only have 1 other roommate at the clinic in the hotel. But if you want your own room you can choose to pay for that by yourself. Dr almanza is a sleeve patient himself. Hope that whatever decision you make is yours to make from the heart. I do not regret any moment of my journey or my decision.

    My Lovely Pre-Op Diet...

    I use the Premiere Nutrition shakes... found at costco... really super cold... the vanilla is the best, then the chocolate, can not seem to find strawberry anywhere!!! I use it as the base to my smoothies whether Breakfast snack or meal!! I have surgery August 28th.. and I technically start my pre op diet August 14th, but I have been some prep work with the shakes and only trying to eat food once daily!!!
