"Hello, my name is Casey and I have battled my weight all my life. Going back all the way to kindergarten I was picked on for being the fat girl. Growing up I had tried every diet possible, took unhealthy pills and worked out. I never could get a handle on my struggle. After having my daughter in 2012 I knew I had to make a change for myself and my family. I had heard about a group of woman from my hometown going to Mexico for weight loss surgery. They all looked wonderful and said they had a great experience.
I contacted International Patient Facilitator's through their web site. My patient facilitator, Sheri, walked me through every step of the process and answered all my questions. My husband and I traveled to Cancun Feb 20th 2014 where Dr. Verboonen performed vertical sleeve gastrectomy. It was the best decision I've ever made! In just 5 months post-op I've lost 97 pounds. I can run, hike and most importantly play with my daughter. I cannot being to express how life changing this whole process has been. I feel so free in my body. Free from worrying about what I can and cannot do or what I can or cannot fit in. I have a new outlook on life and I know I will now live a long, healthier life.
Dr. Verboonen has been an important part in making this process so wonderful. He is so personable, friendly and willing to answer any question I've ever had about anything. I have never had better care than what I received during my time in Mexico. I felt like a person instead of a number. I felt like Dr. Verboonen and his staff truly cared, and the thing is it's not just me. A month later my aunt and mom traveled to Cancun for the same procedure. They both felt the same way. I highly recommend Dr. Verboonen and International Patient Facilitators to anyone considering having weight loss surgery. "
