Amazing experience, a couple of days before I was to fly to Yuma Az. they called and asked us to fly into San Diego instead. We arrived and and were picked up by a very nice man and his wife. They drove us to downtown Tijuana Mexico. We were a little apprehensive but all worked out very well. Miguel was our go to guy he took great care of us. I had my blood work done that afternoon. Miguel took us to the hotel downtown helped us check in then came back at 6:30 am to take us to the hospital where I had my surgery. Everything was great. There was an earthquake in TJ that night...crazy but all was well. I returned home to Colorado four days later. I had the hiccups the first couple of days but I felt good. I have done amazingly well. I weighed 259 on June 8th I weighed 197 this morning Sept. 17th. I have been going to the gym for the last 45 days. I am able to eat mostly what I want... slow is key. I see people over weight and I want to stop and tell them to do it!! They treated me great it was a wonderful experience with the doctors the hospital everything went perfect.
