Christy’s Transformation Success Story

From running to the fridge to running marathons! Christy Biddle admits that her habits before bariatric procedure included impulse eating due to boredom or stress and she would often eat larger than necessary portions. The turning point for Christy in seeking out gastric sleeve surgery with Jet Medical Tourism was when the scales tipped 300 pounds. “I was diagnosed with health issues like high blood pressure and high cholesterol by this point.” Christy recalls.

“The final straw was when I took a girls trip to Key West and was able to actually see myself in photos. I rarely allowed photos of myself to be taken and I think I was in denial.” Christy’s successful gastric sleeve surgery paved the way for new healthy habits to take place in her life. When she came to Jet Medical Tourism, she hoped to do more than just lose the weight. “I honestly wanted to get healthy, to get to a point that I was able to enjoy life without getting out of breath and getting run down so quickly.”

“My life has been a complete 180, I am a lot more active and involved with life around me.”

Today 44-year-old Christy is down an amazing 120 pounds! She runs an average of 25-30 miles a week and completes half-marathons monthly. “My goal is to run a full marathon this year!” She announced excitedly. “My life has been a complete 180, I am a lot more active and involved with life around me.” We asked her about her eating habits now and she was proud to say, “I focus on protein as much as possible and stay on top of keeping my portions small.”

One of Christy’s biggest supporters and cheerleaders along the way was her friend and former bariatric patient, Kathleen. Kathleen had surgery 9 months before Christy and was a wonderful sounding board of advice and support. Christy hopes to inspire other people considering bariatric procedure such as VSG and gastric bypass as well by sharing her successful gastric sleeve story. “There is no price tag you can put on a better quality of life and that is exactly what you will have.”

Kayla’s Transformation Success Story

Kayla was only 26 years old by the time she had undergone four separate knee surgeries over a span of 8 years. Her weight was putting far too much pressure on her bones and joints and the consequences so far were grim. “I was tipping the scale at almost 300 pounds total weight and I was mentally and emotionally tired,” she says. “I didn’t like the way I looked, and it made me feel like no one else did either.”

Kayla sought out help and scheduled her gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. David Vazquez at the Clinica San Juan in Tijuana, Mexico. “I was super nervous at first,” Kayla remembered. “I just hoped that I would be well taken care of and treated like a person and not another medical record number.”

Her worries were soon put to rest as she underwent a successful bariatric surgery with the full support of our team here at Jet Medical Tourism. Kayla is now over a year post-op and she reached out to us to share her triumphs. “I lost almost 100 pounds!” She reports. “My back and knees definitely don’t hurt as bad; I am taking fewer medications now and I have so much more self-confidence. I’m leading a healthy life, I eat nutritious solid foods, I follow good exercise habits, and I don’t feel as depressed as I used to. I feel free.”

Kerry’s Transformation Success Story

Kerri found Jet Medical Tourism after doing online research on bariatric surgery centers in Mexico. She had seen a few friends go through the process and being overweight herself, 240 pounds total weight and climbing, she desperately needed an intervention. A lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits led Karri to sleep apnea, resulting in a dependency on a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine at night to be able to breathe. For her this was a turning point and she came to Jet Medical to lose weight. Karri had surgery in summer 2019 with Dr. Jorge Reyes at the pristine INT Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico.

We are happy report that not only does she no longer need her CPAP machine, she also has discovered many more benefits to her surgery that she had not anticipated. She followed all the dietary guidelines, including the prescribed pre op diet, post op diet and the initial liquid diet.

“I don’t have bad food cravings. My taste buds have changed, I find myself wanting to eat healthy” says Karri, who now fills her diet with fresh veggies and lean proteins. “I’m always ready to get out and do something fun!” Karri poses in her go to color, a bright bold pink, but notes what stands out most to her now is her newfound confidence.

Today, Karri is down to 152 pounds and working towards building muscle and toning without the need for a personal trainer. The surgery not only helped reduced her meal portions, but also helped curbed appetite with the reduced production of hunger hormone called ghrelin. To those considering surgery for themselves, she says “Do it!”

Kendall’s Transformation Success Story

Stepping on the scale, Kendall M. found herself staring down 200 pounds total weight and a mounting social anxiety at the thought of being around people. She felt so uncomfortable in her own skin and hoped that bariatric surgery would help her lose excess weight and get down to her ideal weight of 135 pounds.

Kendall reached out to Jet Medical Tourism and in mid-October she made the trek from her hometown of Potomac, Maryland to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico where she met with Dr. Gonzalez and his team. “They were all so great,” she says. “The hospital was pristine, I felt safe getting my procedure done.”

Four months later Kendall is happy to jump on the scale and see herself only a little over 10 pounds away from her goal! Down to 110 pounds, Kendall’s BMI (Body Mass Index) has dropped from an unhealthy 31 percent to now 23 percent putting her within the normal range. “I’m making new friends,” she says. “I’ve gained so much confidence and I’m proud of my appearance.”

These days, you can find Kendall out with friends at a restaurant with a whole new sense of self-esteem. After beginning her post-operative diet with clear liquids, she has now adjusted how she eats, focusing on eating slowly and making better choices each day for her life. To those considering bariatric surgery, Kendall says – “Go for it! There’s nothing to be afraid of!”

With good lifestyle habits, you will not get rid of obesity, but also improve your blood sugar levels and other health conditions such as sleep apnea.

Debra’s Transformation Success Story

“I need this for me; I need to get healthy now.” Debra Watson, a 64-year-old Florida resident, always put her family first and it was starting to take a toll on her own well-being. Debra devoted her time to caring for her 85-year-old mother and husband of 47 years who was diagnosed with cancer. “I didn’t know what was going to happen with him,” she says. “I wanted to be healthy and happy with myself so I could have more energy and be a positive presence going forward.”

In November, Debra went through with sleeve gastrectomy surgery at the INT Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico. Dr. Jorge Reyes and his team performed the bariatric surgery perfectly and 4 months later and 58 pounds lighter, Debra could not be happier. “I have looked at myself differently since surgery,” she says. “I realized that it is okay to do something for yourself.”

Debra shared her insight with us on how surgery was in Mexico as a U.S. Citizen. “Let me reassure you that you will be well taken care of, the staff is amazing – they are there with the medication you need before you ask. The Hospital is clean and orderly, if you do not speak Spanish it is okay. They are aware of that and you will be fine.”

Along with the support of the Jet Medical Team, Debra also had the opportunity to go with a group of friends and two of our past patients. “They had been there already and made us feel at ease,” she says. “This was the first time in my life I had been away from home for surgery without my husband and it was a great experience.”

Right from the initial consultation to the surgery day and beyond, Debra received trustworthy health information and guidance, which helped her go through a safe procedure. She feels forever grateful to her medical team who contributed to her long term success.

Christina’s Success Story

Here at Jet Medical Tourism we are forever grateful and feel honored to have the opportunity to learn more about our patients. We are continuously inspired by the successful weight loss surgery stories and experiences most patients share. While results may vary depending on whether you have a VSG, gastric bypass, lap band, duodenal switch or another procedure, most patients usually report thorough satisfaction with their outcomes.

One of our wonderful patients, 46-year-old Utah local Christina, shares a story that is nothing short of empowering and a testament to what can be accomplished when you put your mind to it. Following a stressful marriage that ended in divorce, Christina was fighting to not be depressed. “I left my husband and had a slew of health problems stacking up.” She remembers sadly. “I was on heart medication, battling thyroid problems, using a CPAP machine and honestly fighting the urge to crawl into a hole and hide.”

“I made the decision to get the gastric sleeve and it was so very worth it!”

Christina was inspired to seek out gastric sleeve surgery after being inspired by many patients success stories noting that others who have gone through this process understand the feelings you go through in choosing to have weight loss surgery. “I looked in the mirror one day and I could see the real me in there,” she recalls. “I made the decision to get the gastric sleeve and it was so very worth it!”

Christina hoped to accomplish benefits to her health and mind by losing weight and taking control of her life again. “I wanted my self-confidence and energy back,” she explained. “Before surgery I was almost 290 pounds total weight – within a year I was down to 160 pounds and have never been happier in my entire life!!!”

The journey was not always easy, and Christina developed healthier habits and made lifestyle changes along the way to her success. “I was learning what food can do to destroy your body or to give it health,” she explains. “I was learning to love myself again. Now that the me on the inside has come out, I do not want to hide.

I am eager to mingle, play with my grand kids, and even go on dates. My confidence and body are both top-notch” Christina was also happy to report that she is off all of her heart medications, has lowered her thyroid medication, and reduced the pressure on her CPAP machine down to half what it was before surgery. Truly awesome job Christina!

We are so happy for the positive attitude Christina has towards life after gastric sleeve surgery and the total weight loss she has managed to achieve. It is a big choice to make and for many the rewards are worth it. The advice Christina wants to leave for those considering weight loss surgery is this: “You can do this – be determined!”

Alex’s Transformation Success Story

Alex was always a bigger guy, standing at 6’4” and weighing 380 pounds, he attributes his size to a lifetime of eating and drinking without paying much attention to exercise.

“I worked a lot and went to school so that was my excuse,” he says. “Then I started getting tired fast, I was out of breath and my ankles and legs were always swollen. I had constant back pain and could no longer do the things I wanted to do like play with my grandson.”

Alex sought out help from Jet Medical Tourism and had gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. David Vazquez in Tijuana, Mexico.

“I was scared because of the horror stories you hear,” he remembers. “However, the facility was amazingly clean, and the staff was outstanding. I still send emails thanking them.”

The original goal Alex had hoped to accomplish by having bariatric surgery was to shed some weight and be able to do things without becoming out of breath. We are excited to report he achieved goal weight and more! “I am enjoying life again,” he says. “I am no longer taking hypertension medication; the swelling is gone in my legs and my knees feel great.”

Alex lost over 95 pounds and is still going strong. “I am able to do things I couldn’t do before,” he says. “I can bend and reach with no limitations and I actually like what I see in the mirror.” Alex has taken this opportunity to change some lifelong habits that contributed to poor health and chosen a healthy lifestyle. He follows better eating habits, sticking to small portions and has eliminated fried foods from his post op diet completely. Way to go Alex!

Best Male Before and After VSG Pictures

For males who want the sleeve procedure, the before and after pictures of gastric sleeve patients below illustrate how the VSG Surgery in Mexico might be able to help you achieve a post op weight loss transformation.

Gastric Sleeve Before and After Skin

Gastric sleeve currently ranks as the most popular weight loss surgery procedure by far. One of the key benefits of gastric sleeve weight loss surgery is that it is relatively less invasive compared to other techniques, and yet has an excellent success rate. The total weight loss in VSG as a percentage of your pre-surgery weight may be similar to other mainstream bariatric surgeries, such as gastric bypass. You may be able to return home the same day after the procedure and can expect a safe and quick post-op recovery.

What are Gastric Sleeve Before and After Skin Photos?

Gastric sleeve before and after skin pictures refer to images that are taken prior to the procedure and after the procedure – with a focus on your skin appearance. This special set of pictures will help you understand how your skin elasticity may be affected once you have achieved a substantial amount of weight loss.

A Picture Says More than a Thousand Words 

During your initial consultation, your bariatric surgeon will inform you the pros and cons of the surgery. But words are often subject to interpretation and may not be very convincing at times. This is where gastric sleeve before and after skin photos will tell you the real story as it is. Just one picture may suffice where a thousand words do not. Make sure your medical service provider is reliable and their site complies with regulatory norms where you view these photos.

Excess Skin Gastric Sleeve Before and After Skin

A gastric sleeve weight loss surgery may result in a dramatic weight loss and help you get rid of obesity. But if you have had this surgery or a gastric bypass at an age when your skin is losing elasticity, you may end up with excess skin in certain body areas following your weight loss. This condition can be corrected with a skin removal plastic surgery.

Benefits of Excess Skin Gastric Sleeve Before and After Skin Images

A dedicated bariatric surgeon will transparently inform you about the advantages and limitations of your procedure. At the outset, they may also present before you excess skin gastric sleeve before and after skin images. You should carefully review these photos to form reasonable expectations and so you can make a salient decision on whether or not you want to proceed or not.
