Hi,

You made the comment "Tiajuana is not like they paint it. I had so many misconceptions about what it was going to be like that I was embarrassed afterwards!" So my question is, what was it like, better or worse than you expected? I'm assuming that cleanliness would be a factor, was it? Did you have your procedure at a hospital or clinic? Any input from you would be greatly appreciated. I am going to have bypass.

THANKS

I had Dr. Joffee for my surgery he was awesome.

He took his time with you explained, listened, he is very compationet person. I was 344 lbs Nov 10 2002 March 1 2003 down 75 lbs July 1 2003 I was 169 lbs I lost a total of 175 lbs. Allot of work did the gym everyday. Aqua fit 2 days a week also.

Had 3 months ok liquid only then started on some purraid foods. But in July 2003 I became pregnant for twins and I started to eat more and stretched out my pouch. Now I am 13 years out and looking for a revision surgery but would not give up my boy's for anything.

I'm going with Dr. Alvarez near eagle pass. The price is $8,500 and that includes the hotel stay. Look his website up, he is the best surgeon I have researched at the best price in Mexico. The hospital he uses is very nice and is only half mile pass the Texas/Mexico border. He only does the sleeve operation 3 times a day monday thru friday so he isn't over whelmed. Good Luck!!

I also bought a plan through my cell company. good luck! Linda

For your trip to Mexico did you add an international calling plan? Was it necessary?

I am hoping for Wifi ... but want to be prepared.

Thanks!
