I am about 10 days postop and I still need to do a thorough review of my experience in Tijuana, but if you are looking for a very skilled and compassionate surgeon then please check into Dr. Francisco Zavalza. I had a great experience and now that I'm at home, I feel wonderful. I had a very easy recovery that's for sure. Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any!

I too went to Tijuana and had Dr. Zavalza and Dr. Luna perform my VSG on March 3. Great experience and would do it again. I would agree with you Jesser when you say that Dr. Zavalza is very compassionate and yes very skilled. I had no pain at all, except for gas pains and that didn't last very long. I experience nausea and couldn't hold much down the first two days, but after that the blue Gatorade was my best friend while at the recovery house. By the way was super nice and relaxing. Thank you David. Also they have the best chicken broth ever!!!! I wish I had some now, now that I can consume more.  If you are looking to get Bariatric surgery, I would definitely recommend Dr. Zalvalza and Dr. Luna if going to Mexico. You will get the proper care and advice, and have a year of follow ups via Skype. My experience was far beyond what I had imagined. I would do it again. I am 4 weeks post op and my incisions have healed nicely. I had 4 C-sections so I know what pain is, but this surgery was a walk in the park to compare. I do have one regret, I wish I would have gotten out more and walked further while there. It was so beautiful and the weather was so great, but I did enjoyed the time I spent. All I can say is follow Dr. Luna's nutritional advice and  walk, walk, and walk and it will get better.
