One and half months out



Recommended Posts

July the 9th of 2014 I was on a plane to San Diego with all the concerns anyone could possibly have. I was nervous but determined. I had looked into this for 3 years at least and finally made my decision. I decided to go to Dr. Ramos Kelly. He had the most experience of anyone I looked at. Let me go back a few years. Even though I'm overweight, severely depressed and HB pressure my own denied me to have surgery. Without insurance in the states just for the surgeon was over 12k that isn't including hospital or any other test. Out of desperation I chose to go to Mexico. Turns out that was the best choice for me. I'm almost two months out and 30lbs down. I'm doing my best to do another 40lbs and I'll be at my goal. Dr. Kelly and his staff was very nice and to tell truth very little pain. I'm glad I had it done...just wish I could have stayed longer than the 4 days.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
