I am a new Gastric Sleeve patient. I am 6 days post op and still struggling with extreme gas pains. My experience however, was pretty darn awesome. I had my surgery performed in Cancun with Dr. Hector Perez. From the day I decided to proceed, his coordinator, alma Orozco with Ready 4A Change was with me every step of the way. She was informative, helpful and always professional. I was not the easiest person to deal with... I ask a lot of questions. And not all at once :-/
I booked my flight and Alma handled literally, everything! They provided ground transportation to and from the airport, arranged my hotel stay at a 4+hotel and transportation to and from the surgery center. Dr. Perez was also extremely helpful, professional, informative and very nice. I was scared because I had gone by myself. Any concerns I had were eased by his care and experience.
I can say so far, this has been difficult. I'm a "foodie!" My husband and I love to dine and drink our vino. Watching my family enjoy some of the best foods around me while I'm on liquids is certainly trying. But then I remember why I did this, look at my family, look at the scale (14 lbs down!) and realize my life won't always be restricted. It takes time and effort. I'll be able to enjoy my favorite foods again. Just in much smaller portions. And I'm OK with that.
To Dr. Perez, Alma, and the rest of the staff, THANK YOU for all you have done.
