Practically Perfect Patients

JoAnne & Jamie went to Tijuana on Thursday, Friday & Saturday last week to assist the patients and doctors for their weight loss surgeries. Although we were there for "work," we had a great time with this group of patients! 

Here are some photos of the trip:

Surgeon Elmo Aramburo... we just call him Dr. Elmo

Robin came to Mexico for a Lap Band to Sleeve Revision surgery, as a veteran of having weight loss surgery in Mexico, she comforted patients of any anxiety they may have. Thanks Robin!

This is Dr. Elmo's mom the morning after her surgery. JoAnne & Jamie were amazed on her quick recovery when we came to the hospital, she told us she was "muy bien," which means "very good" in English.

Dr. Rod & Kathy the morning after her surgery. She was enjoying her ice chips like they were a fine wine!

A family surgery fest!  Robin and her two sons, Patrick & Josh with Dr. Rod the morning after all their surgeries. They all had a great recovery.

This is called "passing the patient," where they go through the door and pass the patient to the surgical staff in the sterile area.
