"I truly believe that gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Jorge Maytorena is the absolute best desicion of my life." —Annie, Fairview, California, United States

Annie Bellman, from Fairview, California, United States, struggled with his weight since childhood. “Ever since I was a kid, I struggled with my weight. I tried countless diets, prescription diet pills, and exercise routines, but nothing ever worked. It was incredibly challenging, especially growing up with these struggles,” Annie recalls.

At the age of 28, she reached over 320 pounds and knew that something had to change. The high cost of weight loss surgery in the United States prompted him to look for alternatives.

Annie’s experience with PlacidWay was fantastic. They helped him find Dr. Jorge Maytorena in Tijuana, Mexico, and the entire process was smooth.

“It wasn’t always an easy road, especially with the logistics of traveling, but this program has been incredibly helpful. I will never be able to say enough good things about the staff here. I will forever say that these people are my angels. No matter the distance or the struggles I faced, they were there to help every step of the way,” Annie shares.

The cost was a significant factor in Danny's decision. “In my home country, the surgery would have cost me an arm and a leg, around $20,000 to $25,000. But at Dr. Jorge Maytorena’s clinic in Tijuana, it was a fraction of the price, about $4,000. This made a world of difference and allowed me to pursue the surgery I desperately needed,” Danny explains.

“I truly believe that these doctors, surgeons, nurses, dietitians, etc. are the absolute best in the world. I cannot recommend them enough.”

A year after her surgery, Annie still thinks about the information provided from the beginning seminars.

“It is an amazing plan, and the helpful tools definitely helped me get to where I am today. At first, reading about the diet and all the things I would have to do for the rest of my life was overwhelming and almost seemed impossible. As time went on after surgery and with the help from my team, I took it one step at a time, and it was incredibly manageable!”

Annie’s success story wasn’t linear. “I had my fair share of ups and downs, but overall, I have had amazing success. I started out at 325 pounds before the pre-surgery diet and was 320 pounds on the day of surgery. I am now 190 pounds.”

There were times when she stalled for months without losing any weight, only to drop 10 pounds in a week. “Watching the weight melt off me was one of the greatest feelings in the world. I now have so much energy, I no longer wake up exhausted, my body doesn’t ache from simply existing anymore, and most of all, I am happy!”

Now 29 years old and having lost 130 pounds, Annie feels incredible in every aspect of her life. “I am overall happier, can work out and go for long walks without feeling exhausted, and the best part about all of this is that I am more confident. It was extremely hard being in my mid-twenties weighing over 320 pounds. I feel incredible, almost like my life has just started now.”

Annie’s journey with Gastric Sleeve surgery in Tijuana, Mexico, has been transformative, giving him a new lease on life and the confidence to enjoy every moment.
