Thanks for the response...so was Dr Mario Almanza your surgeon? How easy/difficult is it to lose the weight (I've heard horror stories about people gaining weight cuz they kept eating poorly)? Have you hear anything bad about this location/doctor? How close are you to your goal.
A little about me: I'm about 80 pounds overweight, I'm 38 years old and want to get the surgery, but since the procedure is out of pocket, I want to be sure that it'll be worth it...also, considered Mexico since it's cheap and I use to run across the border for doctor's visits when I was taking college classes back in the day. My main concern at this time is all the stories I'm starting to hear about people gaining the weight back...I don't have a ton of weight to lose but I'd be crushed if this procedure didn't work out.
