Ontario sleeved in Mexico
lapband to sleeve in mexico
I had a lapband surgery in Toronto, to make a long story short, it failed me. I removed it in April 2013 and made a decision to go to Mexico. My BMI at this point is lower so I had no choice but to be self pay. I had plastic surgery in Mexico Tijuana already and my doctor recommended a bariatric surgeon, Dr F. Hurtado. He is fairly new to Canadian clients. I went to TJ in November 2012 with my friend and Dr FH did her sleeve, she lost 75 pounds within first 6 months. I decided to save up my pennies and go ahead with my decision. My surgery was on January 7th this year. Even though I am 5'1" and weigh 178, I lost first 20 to the date. Lowest I have been in 30 years and weight I nver reached with a lapband for 4 years. I am very happy with this decision. If you ever hesitated to go to Mexico, I can assure you have nothing to worry about. I went there 2 times for cosmetics and 1 time for sleeve. There were many patients in Recovery House (which is licenced and has nurses on staff 24/7) who were from Alberta.
