Many of you would say, Why is she thinking about weight loss surgery. Your not over weight. I have been 50 pounds over weight for over 20 years and as I got older I was starting to get some medical issues. I was diagnosed with Thyroid problems, than came the high and low numbers with the good and bad cholesterol. Let's not forget to mention the pre-diabetic. When my last results came in looking BAD is when I decided it was time for a change. Oh did I mention I go to the gym 3-4 times a week for the past 4 years with no results of weight loss. SO I knew I had to do a drastic change in my life. That's why I researched weight loss and only to find out that the US does not allow people with a BMI under 35 to qualify for any weight loss surgery. I was even prepared to pay cash. As I researched more on the internet that's when I came across Mexico's web sites. I'm so glad the other countries have different criteria's for the matter. I'm so glad I chose Mexico Bariatrics in Tijuana. My husband was afraid for me to go there. It had a scary feeling. He even said, he would not go with me. I was persistant and said, I'm going without him. Although I prayed that he would have a change of heart. He did go. When we arrived at San Diego Victor picked us up with another couple. I started to feel safe. As we crossed the border we went to our Hotel The Marriot. I can tell you that Tijuana was not BAD like it was said in other BLOGS I read. We walked to Walmart, the shopping center and we even went downtown. Raul helped and guided us where we we're to stay and what to do. The whole team was there to help us make sure we were safe. My surgery went well at MI Hospital, it was very clean, everyone was very nice and very caring. My Doctor Osuna looked just like her picture and she was good. I couldn't be happier in my choice. I'm losing weight and starting to feel good about myself.
