I met a woman from Illinois who went to him. She and her husband had nothing but good to say about him and his staff. They showed us pictures and explained everything to us. I also sent messages to many other people on OH who used him. I received about 17 responses, and every one of them said wonderful things about him. If I were going to go to Mexico, I would choose him. I know he checks for leaks before releasing you from the hospital; then you stay at a hotel in the states for 2-3 more days; then he has you come back in and checks for leaks again before you go home. The hotel and transportation back and forth from the hotel and hospital is included in his price, which was $10,500 when I last checked.

Thank you .

If you choose Pompa, make sure she isn't making large sleeves anymore. I know some of her patients from obesityhelp.com were upset over have big sleeves, and not losing. There's several threads on obesityhelp.com with her complication/upset patients on there.

I had been sleeved by Dr. Miguel Zapata in Monterrey, Mexico. Before deciding on the doctor I did a lot of homework , and then zeroed in for this doctor as he had an excellent track record and didn't have much of negative feedback. You might want to look at this doctor before finalizing yours. Good Luck..

Go to obesityhelp.com. There is a lot of good things about Dr. Almanza. I have not read any bad things about him.

Sorry can't help you with that. . . I stayed close to home and had my surgery right here in San Antonio. . . don't trust those mexican countries. . .but that is my only opinion. . . good luck
