Gastric Sleeve - Best Decision Ever!!! *Tijuana, MX*

WORTH IT$5,500
First let me say I hate taking pictures, even with the weight loss. So this review will not have many pics. *Sorry*
I am currently looking into getting a BBL *hopefully* within the next few months but I am having a hard time finding a surgeon that does not want me to wait a year until I lose all I plan on losing and reach my ideal weight. But my logic is, if I lose all of my weight, I will not have anything left for the BBL, and there is no gaining weight after the sleeve…atleast not for me. Buts that's a different topic for a different review, at a different time….
Anyway, I had my sleeve done in Tijuana, Mexico by Dr. Fernando Garcia. I opted to get the single incision sleeve instead of the standard procedure becauseI did not ant the 5-7 incisions that came along with the standard. So I have one incision in my bellybutton and one incision off to the side of my stomach where the drain was.
Anyway, I am going to copy my initial reviews and post from the bariatric forums I used to post on so if this review seems kind of choppy, this is why.
xoxo,
N. Diamond

Hola!
Just a quick introduction. Like many of you, Ive struggled with my weight; yoyo dieting, diet pills (off the shelf and prescription) numerous weight loss clinics, etc. Now that I am a little older, I find it even harder to lose weight, and stay healthy (my knees hurt, I'm tired all of the time). Im tired of losing 40, gaining 60. I honestly believe I have totally screwed up my metabolism from all of the torture i have put my body through.
I contacted the my local bariatric physican, attended the seminars, did all of the insurance requirements, and ended up paying 100s of dollar in copays and uncovered medical expenses just for the insurance company to deny me.
Anyway, i received a quote yesterday to get a VSG locally for $21,000. Self pay option. I can't swing that.
Mexico it is.

Don't blame you. Why in the world does the US want a person to see a damn psychologist??? I mean, when you're chunky and jolly it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that part of not being happy with yourself, your lack of confident self image is only going to make one HAPPIER once one has weight loss surgery. So why the doggone visit to the psych doctor?? This is NOT a sex change operation...fat folk can handle and would love to be skinny!!!! No psychiatrists/psychologists need tell me that!! So many damn hoops to go through in America for weight loss surgery...I'm having my gastric bypass by a reputable doctor in Tijuana for just over $4000 grand....thank all of you American insurance FAT HOGS!!!! You made the right choice, and probably won't be my last medical tourism trip either!!!
