Hi! I'm scheduled in March with Dr. Cabrera so I'd be interested to hear about your experience! :)

I was sleeved by Dr. Cabrera on September 25, 2013. It was a good experience and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Everyone was nice and professional. I only saw Dr. Cabrera twice, but was pleased with the overall care I received from all the doctors and nursing staff. I've lost 68 lbs. as of today... started at 263.

My sister is having surgery with Dr. Cabrera on Wednesday. I'm going as her support person. We fly out tomorrow!!

Thank you! We are at Mi Doctor now!! Today is surgery day for her!!

I don't know much about Dr. Cabrera and Dr. Valenzuela can someone point me in the direction of their website?

I'm schedule with Dr.Cabrera on Feb 6th, Dr Valenzuela is out on medical leave so it will just be him. I pretty excited and terrified at the same time. Hope all goes well for you on the 20th.

Thank you for the well wishes and best of luck to you on the 6th. From what i've read and am hearing Cabrera is an EXCELLENT and brilliant Dr and probably one of the best in mexico, but is still soo underrated. But please be sure to share your experiences, I will be looking forward to it.

Hi there! I was Just sleeved by Cabrera last Thursday 1/24 & very pleased with him & his team of doctors!

That's great that gives me hope and a good view of what I'll expect. Can you tell me more about your experince? How is your pain, diet etc? Please share.

My pain was the worst when I first woke from surgery & it got better through the night. Then I had pain when their removed my drain, but once it was out virtually all pain went away. My diet is still clear (broth, jello, popsicles, etc) but I have tried a couple bites of non fat vanilla yogurt & it settled well!

This is good to know, my surgery is scheduled 2/17 with Dr Cabrera, I'm excited to be done.

Im so nervous my surgery is in 3 days im still worried about wat ill eat after i dont want to die lol. But im done being fat!

I just wanted to jump in and say I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. Cabrera on March 5th at Mi Doctor. I saw his name and had to post. I'm going to come back when I'm done so we can compare notes.
