Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories

Its very cold in England now we’re finally home! We had to stay an extra day in San Diego because there were no flights into/out of Philadelphia because of the snow! Nice extended holiday. I was obviously nervous on arrival in Tijuana, but everything was managed so quickly and effectively that I soon felt at ease. The only discomfort I had was with the drain still in place when I was first discharged to the Hyatt hotel. However aside from that I did not vomit did not need extra pain relief, and the incisions are healing brilliantly. Raul laughed and said that I was the only patient who caused him no trouble! Everyone I meet associated with MBC was professional and polite. I consider the package a real bargain. I have lost 19 lbs since the day of the procedure, so no complaints about that either. Many thanks for all your informative and reassuring emails sent. It made such a difference when booking from so far away.

Well, we are all done and relaxing at home now. Everything went wonderfully. We could not have been happier with the treatment we received during our time in Mexico from yourself to Victor, Tatianna, Danielle, Dr. Cabrera, Dr. Valenzuela, and all the staff at the hospital and Hyatt Place Hotel, Tijuana. Brandy and I are both doing well and will keep you posted on our progress.

Overall the experience was excellent, and everyone involved was great. The appearance of the hospital from the outside was a little disconcerting. I think I would have been less alarmed if it had been described as a surgical center, rather than a hospital. Once inside, it was clean and well equipped. However, there was insufficient hot water in the hospital for showering. That was disappointing, as I was very much looking forward to showering post op and believe that a hot shower would have provided pain relief. The nursing staff was great. Their English was terrific, and they were extremely capable. I was in significant pain the first night post-op for which whatever pain medication I was receiving was insufficient. I wish I had been offered something stronger. I was very comfortable with all of the medical and nursing care I received; I am an APRN and can attest that it was absolutely comparable to medical care in the States. I wish I had been given a little better anticipatory guidance regarding the incision healing. It took much longer than I anticipated. Also, it would be nice to know if there is any way to minimize the scarring. The hotel was lovely. I really enjoyed Tijuana. Too bad I could not enjoy the food! On the third day, I realized that I could take a group cab (blue, I think) that only cost $1 to go in one direction. I wish I had known that sooner.

Hi Christy, 2 weeks have passed pretty fast since my surgery, and all is well!! Please pass on my thanks to everyone for the outstanding care and overall experience. All was top notch; I praise you to anyone that listens. As of today I have lost approximately: 55 pounds and feel great no issues what so ever. Thanks to everyone Involved!!
