Hi I am considering getting the sleeve in Puerto Vallarta and am looking for a doctor. Have you had your surgery there and who do you recommend. I am currently considering Dr. Hildago and looking for reviews.

I had mine with Dr. Lopez in 1/2013. Extremely satisfied with the doctor. Not sure where he's doing surgery there now, but at the time mine was at the brand new hospital in Nuevo Vallarta. Recovery hotel was on the beach. I felt like I was on vacation.

Thank you for the response!! Dr. Lopez still does the surgery in Puerto Vallarta. There is $1,000 difference between Dr. Lopez and Dr. Hildago. I could also go through Dr. Lopez in Tijuana, but I would love to see Puerto Vallarta.

I had Dr Hildago he is awesome

My husband and I had surgery with Dr. Hidalgo on 3/28. The hospital is immaculate and staff were very professional. Dr. Hidalgo is a great surgeon and has a wonderful bedside manner. PV is beautiful, which is a bonus. Nothing like post surgical walks on a beautiful beach.

Check with Dr. Zavalza as well. I believe he does surgeries in PV

I'm headed to PVR and was just told that they want my final payment in cash. Is this typical? My husband is very worried about me traveling alone with thousands in cash. Aren't there other ways to securely give them my money? Bank check, travelers checks?

Sorry, I realize now I just posted that in the wrong spot.

Research Dr. Sergio Quinones. I was sleeved 3/26! No pain no discomfort and excellent care. 16 days post op and down 28 pounds. 4 from my preop diet. #awesomedr
