Possibly having surgery (early May) in TJ with Dr. Cabrera and Valenzuela
I have been interested in bariatric surgery for a very long time, but my insurance will not cover it. My husbands employer has placed an exclusion on the policy. Now, I am looking into flying to Tijuana to have the gastric sleeve.
I have to admit, going to TJ does make me kind of uneasy. I know many people have gone there for surgery without incidence. There are so many "what if's" going through my mind, though. However, I am extremely excited!!!
I am looking to have surgery in early May. I have yet to finalize my plans, but that is the time frame I am aiming for. I would like to do late April, but was told that the surgeons' schedule is tight around then. Is anyone else having surgery with Dr's. Cabrera and Valenzuela in early May?
This is quite an adventure, huh? The results should make it all worthwhile!!!! 
I will be looking forward to reading about how it went, here!
I'm having gastric sleve surgery with them Friday morning. I leave Thursday morning! I am very nervous, but so far Christie has been very helpful and straight forward. I was suspicious a little when I read another post from someone really slamming Mex. Bariatric. So far, I have been pleased and impressed, and Christie was very up front that she had not had the surgery, but had gone through all the pre-op diet and the post op diet so she could talk to people about it. She also told me she has traveled to both sites where they do surgery (Ti. and another place in Mex. - sorry can't remember where.) I also read someone's earlier post that she had had a really good experience with Drs. Valenzuela and Cabrera. Go figure. i am just going to turn myself over to God and go! I will post as soon as I can after surgery to let you know how it went!
You have a positive attitude and that's great. I bet everything will go just fine. I wish you a very smooth surgery and recovery!
