Hey Sleevers ????

Today is my surgery first anniversary I began this journey at 250 lbs now I am 158 Ibs I am super happy to the extent that I don't even believe myself. Dr Nick Nicholson did my surgery at Plano, TX but the procedure took place at Dallas. Never experienced any common complications or leaks. Besides I had a lap band for almost 3 years lost nothing, on the contrary I was gaining weight but Dr Nick did me a conversion from band to sleeve and here I am down 92 pounds in 1 year. Never thought I will be that skinny ever ever ever. I wish everyone else have the same feeling ????????????

I'll be using Dr Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics. I've read a lot a good reviews on him and talked to a couple of folks that used him. They also raved about the new facility he uses and his staff. The coordinators at TB have been easy to work with and my local doc has agreed to to accept my aftercare. I'll keep ya posted as things progress and get closure. The nervous jitters are starting to set in a little but I am so ready for this

The self pay rate for TB is 4250.00 right now. That will include Transpotation over and back, hospital and hotel stay and all medical expenses.

That's s very good rate indeed comparable to other clinics very good

Hi,

I have tried all alternatives for losing my excess weight but nothing worked, so at last I have decide to undergo a gastric sleeve from thesleevecenter.

I will be undergoing surgery in February and I am getting more nervous with each passing day.

Hoping for the best!!!

I'm going to Dr Ramos Kelly in Tijuana in January. I'm self pay (obviously) as my insurance won't even consider covering it. I've done hours and hours (and hours?) of research, as well as having spoken with Dr. Kelly for almost 45 minutes. I really have heard and read nothing but great things. I know going to Mexico holds a social stigma, but I truly feel comfortable and reassured about my decision. Please let me know if you want to talk further. I know it's a big decision and we all have to do what we think is best for us. Good luck with whatever you choose!!
