    i chose garcia because he has a lower complication rate. my surgery and recovery were great! i would do it again in a heartbeat!

    I went to Dr. Ponce de Leon in TJ, Mx. And can say I am completely satisfied. Given the limitations of Almanza vs Garcia, I would have to choose Garcia.

I'm using Dr. Lopez. My surgery is this Friday. I will let you know how it goes with him.

I didn't use either of those Dr's but my sister and I were sleeved on the same day in MX. It has been so awesome sharing this experience with her!!!

april 20, 2012. i'm down 65lbs. they take good care of ya in mexico :) dr. garcia and his team are wonderful, caring people. i used christy bearden at successfully slimmer.com. christy and her husband answered all my questions and shared their own experiences as they had surgery in mexico also.

I just had surgery with DR Garcia on the 10th. He is an amazingly skilled doctor you won't be disappointed.

i would absolutely do it again! :) i am very happy with my success so far. i could have never done it without my sleeve. i am grateful for the option to go to mexico because even with insurance i could not afford it it in the states.
