I have decided I want to get the gastric sleeve procedure sometime in the spring and I am looking at surgeons. Dr. Huacuz was recommended to me. Anyone have any feedback on him? Thanks.

I never have heard of him to be honest... Look into Dr. Lopez as well. I will getting my surgery the week of the 10th with him. I went through alighterme and Janese is my coordinator.

Never read anything about him on VST. I went to Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. He is excellent, a really great surgeon. Research the Dr's in Mexico, there are several great surgeons, just depends on what is important to YOU in picking a surgeon.

you can check out some of the surgeons on this site.

I just got messaged back from a group in Tijuana that Lopez is associated with and they say he isn't giving his patients the care they deserve. Any feedback?

Please read these stories and if you need more info, I will add more links

hi I had surgery on Oct 20 in Puerto Vallarta with Dr Lopez and I had wonderful care from him. He is wonderful, he came to see me before after and that evening of my surgery. He even drove my husband to our hotel that night. I saw him the next day and during my leak test and then after that. He was great, I dont have any complaints at all and I had no problems after. I cant think of better care unless he stayed in my room the whole time. I would for sure recommend him. thanks

i had my revision with Dr Garcia in Tijuana on September 10th. He is an amazingly skilled surgeon and his price is very reasonable. It is worth to check him out. Google alighterme or ready4achange for a coordinator.

Just read those reviews... No offense, but there are other reasonable surgeons in Mexico that have great reputations. From what I'm reading about this Dr. it doesn't sound very good at all. Just do your research and make the best decision for you

Thank you! I have got it down to between dr. Garcia and dr. Lopez.

Be Careful using their last names for search as they all have similar names. Look for all 3 names in their names to match. Its bloody confusing

Thank you! I have got it down to between dr. Garcia and Dr. Lopez.

From the reviews I've read of both, they are both skilled surgeons. I chose Dr. Lopez b/c he specializes in high BMI patients, like myself, who have greater risk during surgery... And he has a second surgeon with him when performs surgery to allow for another set of professional eyes. Since I have a bit of an anesthesia phobia that helps me a lot.
