On her decision to choose lap band:
“A friend told me about it. Was looking around different options. When I find out everything, all details, I decided this one is right not only for me but for everybody now that I have the experience.” “[sic]
On the cost advantage:
“First of all was the price. You know in the United States the price is very high. So to be honest I cannot afford it. So here in Mexico and Tijuana was very good price for me and also I find out that Dr. Gonzalez have the enough experience doing this. So I decide he is the right person for me to do it.” “[sic]
On why traveling to Tijuana did not bother her:
“It’s two hours driving but you know when you have a decision you don’t care. And for me it’s easier to drive two hours than to be on diet. So it’s easier driving two hours than being on diet believe me.” “[sic]
On life after lap band surgery:
“Now when I have lunch or whenever I have something to eat you know I really enjoy it. Sometimes I think the way I used to eat before I saw my goodness, I was eating like an animal. You know like somebody is paying me to eat. So now I eat normal. I eat whatever I want to eat but in small quantity so I enjoy my food. I don’t feel like – oh! I cannot eat this or this. I eat whatever I want. But in small quantity!
“What can I say because at the beginning you know it is like kind of hard because it’s new for you. So at the beginning I remember I told Dr. Gonzalez, “Dr. Gonzalez I am going to get sick because I am not eating.” Because you know I won’t diet. A big plate, now eating a small plate. I am going to die because I am not eating good.
“He says, “No! You are going to be OK.” But that’s ok because I didn’t suffer. Because I was feeling that I was ok, I was full. I don’t need more food. So doesn’t matter how small portion I eat, my mind say it was enough, full. You’re happy. At the end it is super. “[sic]
