Is this a dream!!!!!!!...pinch me please!!!

HELLO EVERYONE...IT'S BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE MY SURGERY IN MEXICO( MONTERRY) AND I HAVE TO PINCH MYSELF BECAUSE SINCE MY LAP BAND SURGERY FROM DR. ZAPATA I'VE BEEN FREE FROM ANY DIABETIC SYMPTOMS AND SYMPTOMS OF GERD. ALSO MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS ALREADY BETTER THAN BEFORE. EVERY TIME I CHECK MY BLOOD SUGAR , I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MY READING ARE ALWAYS BETWEEN 100 AND 120...IT FEELS LIKE A MIRACLE!!!! I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE FROM THE MOMENT I ARRIVED IN MONTERRY TO DAY I LEFT BACK TO THE STATES. I WAS TREATED WITH COMPLETE PROFESSIONALISM AND COURTESY. THE REASON WHY I'M MENTIONING THE EXPERIENCE IS BECAUSE THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE OUT THER WHO NEED TO KNOW THAT BEING APPREHENSIVE AND SKEPTICAL ABOUT GOING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR A IMPORTANT SURGERY AS THIS ONE IS UNDERSTANDABLE...BUT ASK YOURSELF THIS ? IS MY LIFE, MY HEALTH, AND MY OVERALL HAPPINESS WORTH TAKING A TRIP TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND SAVING 8000$ IN THE PROCESS? MAY GOD BLESS THE STAFF IN MONTERRY AND CONTINUE TO ALLOW THEM HELP CHANGE LIVES LIKE MINE FOR THE BETTER....ADIOS..FROM THE FISH2010....:tt2:

I working on getting my approval. I'm diabetic also. Do you still take your meds. I'm on Lantus and Actos. I want off the Lantus as I have gained since starting it. My A1C is 6.5 with all the meds.

Way to go thefish2010! I too went to Monterrey Mexico but I went to Dr. Rumbout. The whole process went very smoothly and that was one CLEAN well staffed friendly and professional hospitals I have EVER been in.
