"I traveled to MX in January of 2021 for sleeve surgery with Dr. A. I have never done anything remotely close to putting so much trust in something as I did with this surgeon and his staff. Nervous doesn't really express the fear I had that I was making a huge mistake. I would never have qualified for this in the U.S. as my BMI was not high enough and I had under 60 lbs to lose. Not to mention the huge cost difference as well as finding someone that has as much experience as Dr. A would be impossible.
All I can tell you is, don't let fear prevent you from living your life!
From start to finish this was an exceptional process. They have this process down. You are in great hands and they will coordinate everything! The communication is great, the people, the facility, the information...everything! Let go and take the steps toward reclaiming a healthy life! Trust is hard, but you can trust this!
I went with a friend and we both had the procedure done and served as each others support. Fast forward to April and my friend has lost 52 lbs. and I have lost 30lbs.
What I can tell you about the procedure: it was fast and very little pain. You will be slow for a few days and the over the course of 2-3 weeks you will feel just fine.
The lifestyle: takes some time and adjustment. You eat much less, feel full and even with that, your mind wants to convince you to eat more. Your friends will complain that you don't eat. You still need to make healthy food choices (that's the hardest part). And, you can screw this up by grazing all day long instead of limiting your eating to meals where you get full fast and need to stop. Think long and hard about those things before you commit to this!
Bottom line: I am SO glad I did this. I feel better, look better, am starting to lose my obsession with food, am retraining my brain as I go, and continue to lose every week. I am 25 lb. to my goal and I know I will get there! Dr. A provides a safe, quality, affordable, caring and convenient way to achieve all of these things. I would not have gone anywhere else."
