I am from Florida and I used Dr. Valenzuela and had a fantastic experience. Her and all the Drs involved were great. Christy from Mexico Bariatric Center was my coordinator and she was very helpful and always available if I had any concerns. I am 4 weeks post op and have been feeling great since day 2 w/ no complications. If you are considering Mexico, I would definitely look into Dr. V. Best of luck to you:-)

I had surgery with Dr Illan on march 28th of this year. To date I have lost 87lbs and wouldn't change a thing! My experience was amazing and I want to go back this summer to visit! Omar is by far the greatest person/friend to have thru this! (He is your patient coordinator) he actually had the surgery by Dr Illan in April so he can be a big help bc he's experienced it all himself. Feel free to email me any time you have questions or concerns I would love to help you! I promise you can't go wrong with Dr Illan and Omar! Good luck!!

Dr.Illan and Omar is the greatest! I was sleeved by Dr. Garcia is Feb. I have lost 72 pounds it was a good experience! But my daughter had the surgery with Dr. Illan last month and if i would have known about Dr. Illan then, i would have used Dr. Illan...the care is most personalized. Alma was great...but I never laid my eyes on her..Omar was there from beginning...during and after..and he still checking on us....my daughter has had NO issues. . I appreciate both experiences..But thought Dr. Illan was the best!

I am scheduled October 5th with Dr Illan - I did a lot of checking around and he was my choice too. Omar is my coordinator and he is something of a "legend" as he clearly cares and goes the extra mile. There are a lot of great surgeons to choose from so take your time, ask around and go with your instincts. Good Luck to you !!

I chose Dr. louisianna Valensuela @ mi Doctor staying at the Marriott Hotel. Feeling very confident and comfortable with my choice. She comes highly recommended, the price is $4500 the hospital is supposed to be great and the hotel is beautiful. My coordinator is Christy who I found out lives about 20 min from me. She invited me to stop by and see her if I'm in the neighborhood. Super awesome lady who responds anytime and everytime I ask a question without hesitation. Super excited... C'mon November 1st !

Check my posting on Dr. Kelly. He is awesome too. If you need experience combined with very personal attention and care, he's the man.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
