People still turn their noses up when I tell them I went to Mexico for the surgery. It was a good decision for me. I took my friend with me. I have new friends I got to know there. They will be in my life forever. It was like a girl's sleep over in the hospital. Staff was great. I was afraid but after I got there, things were fine. I am down 60 pounds and feel great. It has changed my life.
