Ortiz or Corvala in tj

I'm referring to the surgeon affiliated with the OCC. OCC and Hospital Angeles appear to be the only two places I can get comfortable with but everyone should do their own due diligence on surgeons with a health bit of skeptiscm regarding their marketing claims so they can make the best decision for their bodies and future.

Check out this Facebook group! Dr Zavalza and Dr Luna Mexico support group

I'm getting mine done with Dr.Zavalza!

I would just want to very carefully look at quality for a vsg package of 3499 in tj

hamigirl710, he has done over 10,000 surgeries over 30 years. Even if this unsubstantiated post were true he has an excellent record. Surgery is inherently risky. There are many fine surgeons in mexico including Corvala.

I was just sleeved on Feb 19th by Almanza. I waa scared because I heard a few negative stories right before I was going. I prayed about it and decided to go anyway. I have a great experience. I was well taken care of and had no pain. I am down 14 pounds as of this morning. I would do it all over again of I had to. I have nothing bad to say and I am a nurse. I paid $4499 but believe he is running a special.

Hey it was starting at $3299 last year. They have 4 levels of pricing based upon surgeon. I can save you research time Freddie, none of the 4 would come close to making your list. There are recent advocates who had positive surgical experiences but 2 of the surgeons cost even less than Almanza.

There is another sub 4 K surgeon who recently popped up through another Medical Tourism company.

They do provide a niche for folks that want a low price surgeon and seem to be providing good care but hey to each his her own.

It's all about supply and demand and finding the best fit for each individual.

This guy is a coordinator for a different TJ plan,and surgeons he is trying to take business away from bariatricpal! So take what he says with a grain of salt and remember he is being paid by a group of surgeons!

I don't think Rocky is a case coordinator. He consistently recommends several unaffiliated competing surgeons in mexico.

Thank goodness! I'm having surgery with him in May, already paid for the surgery and I've been reading lots of negative things about him. But I have faith, I'm blessed and know everything will work out well for me like it did for you!!!

Please forgive me, but why would you still proceed to book your surgery with him after you have read many negative things? Please reconsider.

Well, this post worries me a bit. I've already paid for my plane ticket and the surgery in full. What do I do now? I don't feel so confident going to Dr Almanza
