    Dr. Gutierrez and his team are running a $3999 New Year's special that will be ending soon! Greatest staff/team! Dr. Gutierrez has done over 3500 bariatric procedures, Zero complications, everyone on his staff speaks English and are very compassionate.. #best #bariatric #surgeon out there. I'm not trying to bash the other facilities but when I went in for x-rays that Monday for my leak test, dr. Gutierrez patients were the only ones with I viewports left in the hand/arm. Dr. Almanza's patients were very frail, pale and just not doing too well.

    I am pleased to share my wonderful experience with Trinity medical! I had my surgery by Dr. Gutierrez on January 16, 2015. The medical staff there so compassionate and there for your every need. When we went in for x-ray Monday morning I noticed a large amount of patient sitting in the waiting room with IV is still hanging out of their hand/arms.. Zero these patients were Dr. Gutierrez patients.. The clinic was literally next-door to the hotel which was a very nice hotel my mother and sister accompanied me, it was a very clean environment that provided breakfast for their (non surgical) guests. Our personal nurse Nathan was their night and day to provide us anything that we needed. There is a full medical staff at hotel to look over and assure of health and comfort level. I have never been treated with so much respect medically. Their bedside manner is over and beyond, I am so grateful that Dr. Gutierrez had time to work on me personally! I am six days post surgery now and doing very well, I recommend Trinity medical for any of your bariatric needs. -stacey tapia

    Tj bound in the AM!

    thank u so much!!! I will be intouch ????
  12. I'm so ready for this, I'm down 20 pounds from pre op diet and that in itself feels like an achievement ???? surgery scheduled for the 17th, I'm very lucky that my family gets to accompany me.. I've packed small, but my mother has not, haha.. I hope there's room in the medical transport for all of her pressed clothes and makeup! Again very grateful ❤️ My surgery is being done by a team of Dr Paten and Dr Gutierrez, the were trained by Dr. A. Ortiz. I feel 100% confident and not even a little nervous.. I do have some questions about prescriptions and bringing them back across the border, I also have diabetes and gout. I would like to pickup some meds for both issues there because I am not insured and as scrips here are sooooo expensive.

    Boob rash!

    that sticks... Have u been able to try putting some kind of cloth across wherever UR skin touches yet? In the summer months this is my saving grace.. Being from Arizona and have had a complete hysterectomy/ hot flashes and sweating all day long... I have even used paper towels to collect the trapped moisture, double it up and lay it between my skin folds where ever the skin overlaps.. I know that's a bit graphic but that's what this place is for, our good-bad-&ugly! When the moisture is trapped, it begins to grow a bacteria that causes our skin to break down.. My area is my lower tummy.. I hope ur breasts get some relief soon because that no fun... -stacey
