My boyfriend Dick, asked me to post a review for him about his experience in Tijuana, because the staff at Bariatric Surgery 4 Health was a big help to him. Originally, he had gotten up to 360 pounds, had gone on many diets, and had lost as much as 65 pounds at a time. However, he always ended up gaining the weight back, plus more. Finally, he went to Tijuana, and had the gastric sleeve surgery done, resulting in a weight loss of over 150 pounds, in about 18 months. The loss was very dramatic. Dick says that what made it easy, was that the amount of food he could eat was greatly reduced, he did not feel very hungry, and although he ate very little, his energy level stayed high. However, after the first 18 months, he leveled off, and then he started to slowly put weight back on. In a year, he gained back about 40 pounds. He was still much smaller than he was before the surgery, but was not happy about the weight gain. He consulted with the patient coordinator at Bariatric Surgery 4 Health, and found they could greatly help him. First, although his stomach volume was still much smaller than before, still not eating that much, he had fallen into bad eating habits. They clinic coached him into a good rhythm of physical activity, plus he learned to eat multiple times a day, and eating the right things. He had previously looked at the surgery as a cure-all, but now sees it serves as a tool, helping change his life style. He has now dropped 25 pounds in 3 months, and is finally reaching his goal. We want to thank Diana at Bariatric Surgery 4 Health, for helping Dick get back on track. She has been very encouraging, and held him accountable to correct his eating habits. One other note, Dick says that because of the sleeve, even though he had started to gain weight again, he found it much easier to get things back under control, and lose the weight again.
