December 6, 201213 yr Lopez/Osuna? Nope although I seriously considered them. I'm seeing Cabrera/Valenzuela They also practice out of MiDoctor in Tijuana. They met all my other criteria, but the price was a bit lower for Cabrera/Valenzuela.
December 6, 201213 yr Author My primary care physician insisted I see this particular surgeon. Which one??

It's getting closer and closer! I can't wait to be skinny!!
December 6, 201213 yr What influenced me the most was speaking to actual patients of the surgeons. The fact that my surgeon (dr ponce de Leon) has actually trained several of the others. The fact that he is confident enough in his work to give the patient a DVD of the actual surgery. And speaking to his coordinator trish, and hearing all the rave reviews of her. I went alone. So having someone there for me, to support me, and help me thru the process was just what I needed to make him the right surgeon for me. She was there for me every step of the way.

When I was researching surgeons there wasn't many on here at that time that went to Dr. Ponce. But over the months I've been reading more and more positive experiences!
