A Lighter Me in Mexico

Has anyone else had a experience with this clinic/I don't know what to call it. My friend called me this weekend and asked me if I would go with her to Mexico and have a gastric sleeve surgery with her because her insurance will not pay for it. I said no because gastric surgery is something I have thought long and hard about but not a road I want to go down. I don't have anything against it but just not for me. If my friend want to go to the clinic "A lighter me" I will go with her and take care of her and make sure her organs aren't taken or she isn't sold in to sex trafficking LOL. I have done some research on the place and have read good and bad. I was hoping someone or a group of you have been there and can give me some insight on the place and your experience. Is it safe/clean and are the Doctors as good as they say they are.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Places like that will leave you dead on the table. All they care about is money.

    I agree!!! She doesn't want to hear that though.

    That sounds absolutely terrifying. Bariatric surgery isn't something you just do over a weekend.
