  4. Hi. I don't know to much about the wounds, but in my case I have only four insicions, 2 of 5 mm and 2 of 10 mm. I am very thankful with my surgeon, he is very professional. And I don't have any complaint regarding the wounds, he did not put stitches in the skin, only in the fat tissue, and in the port area, he closed my skin with glue (Dermabond glue), is a special glue for skin. send you the best wishes. Looking forward for lose more weight.
  5. Is bad to hear bad things from doctors, in all the world exist professional and non professional surgeons. My surgeon in Tijuana; make my experience nice and comfortable. I am very happy with his work I already lose 90 pounds and still looking for lose more. I think about the doctors that are in trouble is because $$$$. But not all doctors are like them. I am very happy to be in hands of my surgeon (Dr. Contreras) you can find him in Tijuana. (Weightloss Management Clinic - Home). I can't say nothing bad about my surgeon. And still more than happy.
  6. Yes, I know Dr. Contreras Guarista, he is a young surgeon, he performed my surgery, and I am great, he was very profesional in his work, and only use FDA approved Band (INAMED/Allergan or Johnson & Johnson), he is gonna ask you what you want and of course I choose the INAMED, he gave me my card, information regarding PO diets, he did my surgery in the Versalles Clinic at Tijuana. My concern why to talk bad about doctors? In my case I had a beautiful experience. I only can say he is a great surgeon I am always in contact with him, he always answers 24/7. But choose the surgeon you can feel more comfortable. happypatient. Sep 2007 Dr. Contreras Guarista. Lose 90 lbs. I am happy.
