    In less than a week I’m going to have my lower body lift with the Dr Cardenas team. I am beyond excited. Has anyone else been to her lately? I’d love to hear your experiences.

    I can see where you're coming from. My early 20's was one of the funnest times in my life for sure. But honestly that contributed to my weight problem. All the late night drinking and eating at 2am really took its toll on me lol but would I change a thing? Thats a hard one.

    Before booking with certain doctors in Tijuana, please do your research on them! Whether it be on here or other informative websites. If you type their name in google and a bunch of complication stories pop up... Helloooooo lol might be a red flag. Here's a brief story of one of my friends that went with a surgeon without researching and he deeply regrets his decision. There are too many good ones in Tijuana to go with one that does as many people as he can squeeze in. How do they even have time to clean the OR in between patients? Hmmm.
    From Steve:
    If I would have a researched and done my new due diligence I would not have went to Dr. Almanza, just for the sheer fact of the quantity of patients he takes a day! However, those who know me know I'm very impatient! I decided to get the surgery so I found a doctor scheduled my surgery, booked my flight and flew out of here! The worst decision of my entire life is not doing research! And to think, every other aspect in my life I research the heck out of! I honestly thought this procedure was no big deal, everybody gets it done!
    I am amazed to know after my ordeal there are people out there that would consider him after reading my story. Let's say for one minute that he only did this once and it was to me. Just the fact Dr. Almanza never returned any of my phone calls, never returned any of my surgeons phone calls, never returned one single phone call that alone would make me run like hell!
    I am a very fair, honest, logical and sensible guy! If Dr. Almanza did the right thing - I guarantee you I would not be discussing him right now! If he followed up, helped my physicians, sent surgical notes or if he did anything to assist me, I guarantee you I would not say bad things about him.
    I cannot believe I did not even get one single fucking phone call! We needed him so bad, you guys have no idea!

    Jesser got a reaction from OCSlim in When choosing a surgeon....   
    I have talked with several people over the years, getting feedback on all the surgeons in Tijuana. Most have really good reviews. Except one. Dr. Almanza. I was communicating with a man the other day who didn't really do any research on his surgeon, so he went with Dr. Almanza...big mistake. His story is so sad and that's why I am on here because he has no clue how to get on here and tell his story... But it's a legit story, you can even look him up on Facebook and ask him. His name is Steve Kaiser. Dr. Almanza made his stomach the size of a spring in a ball point pen. He has went through more surgeries to try and fix this, but his stomach keeps collapsing. He hasn't been able to eat food since August his medications are over $1,000 a month. He just went through another surgery on Friday to convert him to a bypass since he can no longer use his stomach. It took 2 surgeons and 4 hours to fix it. They said his stomach was twisted in half and kinked. What bothers me about this is he has yet to receive a phone call or anything from Dr. Almanza or his facility which is a complete joke. Not a real hospital. It's called a woman and children's clinic which is a complete shithole. Please do not take a chance and go with this doctor. Just google his name and read all the horrific stories out there he has. There are too many surgeons, good surgeons in Tijuana that will do your surgery safely.

    Jesser got a reaction from Destinie in Has anyone had the sleeve done with Dr. Mario Almanza in TJ MX?   
    I spoke with one of his patients earlier today who has had MAJOR complications from his surgery. He hasn't even had a bite of food since August. Dr. Almanza made his stomach so tiny that it keeps collapsing and he has went thru several surgeries to correct it, but they can't fix it. I believe now he is going to convert to bypass. He said his surgeons here in the states have tried contacting Dr. Almanza but never will he return any calls. I told him that he needed to get on here and tell his story and he plans on doing so. This isn't the first story that I have heard about this doctor... please do extensive research before selecting your surgeon. Go with your gut!

    I had my surgery on March 20th and Dr. Francisco Zavalza was my bariatric surgeon. I am currently still in Tijuana and will do a full review of my experience when I get back home. Nothing but wonderful things to say I am in no pain, no complications (which was my biggest fear) and I am being well taken care of. If you have any questions please feel free to ask
