I could not have been in better hands! I am so pleased with how well everything turned out!

I was in surgery for over 5 hours because of all the scar tissue and a hiatal hernia that was fixed but to be honest, I was in way more pain after my lap band surgery than I was for the DS. My incisions were way smaller for this surgery than for the lap band and I had zero gas pains. I had horrible gas pains after the lap band. I was back at work a week after my surgery (I work a desk job, nothing physical). 

I am still getting used to getting all of the liquids in and getting all of my protein can be a challenge on my "tiny tummy" days but I am feeling great and losing the weight. Zero complications. I am so glad I did this! 

I'm glad everything went well for you!

I am scheduled for VSG with Dr Ortiz and A Lighter Me in TJ on December 17, 2015.  I know two people personally who have had surgery through this company.  One did a Lapband conversion to VSG two years ago and one was a vsg last year.  

My coordinator is Jenese.  She has answered any question I have had.  I have some unusual metal allergies.  She was very accommodating in helping me to determine the exact metal alloy in the staples used during surgery.  I received a photo of the staples packaging from Dr. Ortiz, so I was able to track down the manufacturer and get the exact metals in the staples.  

Yes, the A Lighter Me staff are sales people.  But, I never felt pushed or pressured.  They did check back in if they didn't hear from me in a while, but they weren't obnoxious about it.

I will follow up after my surgery.  I would have preferred to have my VSG done in the states, but financially it was just not possible.

Not yet! I am scheduled for February 8th of 2016 with Dr Cabrera!!

Every time I see this kind of  post, about people asking about our experience I always think how great experience I had, and how proud I feel about  by myself because I DID IT!

I went with Dr Camelo Ramos, and everything was great!! I was there in July and almost 70 pounds ligther! 

I choose him because a friend had it done with him and saw results, and about pain it was tough the first hours but after walking and walking felt a lot better...and when they took my drain out it was gone!!

About my experience I must tell you..that I felt very well cared  and pampered, Dr Camelo came to visit a few times and Dr Reyna too, my coordinator was there most of the time or just a call away..love the nurses, even the cleaninig lady was wonderfull!!

I wont lieto you...I WAS REALLY SCARED at the beggining but after A LOT LOT LOT of phone calls with my coordinator ( Veronica) and zillion questions and responses I started to feel more comfortable with my decision!!

I hope this helps you, its really important that you feel confidence with the people that is helping you during this process, if you don´t feel it, look for some body else...good luck on you research !!

Don´t go for the most popular Dr, they have like 8 or 10 surgeries a day...( something that I learned on the process) 

Something else...lot of people complains about no follow ups...I do get follow up, I keep in touch with them and they always answer my emails!! 

DO YOU PREOP DIET!!!!

I had mine with Dr Mario Camelo Ramos at Florence Hospital in July, as I always say...I would recomended him FOREVER!!!

Veronica, Dr Reyna...all of them are great!! they always checkin up on me!! wich its great!!! 

I don´t know why you can fins much about him, but he has a Facebook page.

Good luck..WLS has change my life adn I have no regrets in going to Tijuana and had it done!! everything was just perfect!!
