I certainly hope you would inspect any facilities or surgeon before you recommend them.

We absolutely inspect every facility we use prior to sending our members there. Dr. Almanza and his staff made promises to make some major but very necessary changes and he didn't keep up to his end of the bargain. If we can't trust a surgeon to keep their word, we most definitely can't trust him with our members lives!

Do you know anything regarding Dr Joya in puerto Vallarta? Why isn't he on here?

@@scr161990 How are you!? Through this whole "old" thread I was worrying about you! Did everything turn out ok?!

Hi!! I'm feeling much better and I'm finally able to keep food down. Thank you!!!

I don't understand how to go through bariatric pal. I was contacted by Frank at Dr verboonan office.

[%#LoosingIt?!&- 16]

There was a partnership with Dr Lopez Corvala. Why did that end? I want to have surgery in a full fledged hospital rather than an outpatient center. Also Dr Corvala has extensive relationships internationally with bariatric research groups and sits on the international board having conducted research in addition to his hands on experience.

I sound like a sales person for him practically, but I've just done my research and feel he's the best option for me. I'd really like to book through and have the assistance of Bariatric pal though! Pea it look like the relationship will start again?? Thanks

"For the first time, the doctor accused of severely injuring several patients after their weight loss surgeries in Mexico spoke to Team 10 to share his version of events."

Such a snake. It's pretty sad that he has to deflect what has happened by placing blame on somebody else. He's taken no ownership for what has happened.

I'm new to the forum. Does this mean you "work" for certain doctors?

BariatricPal is affiliated with a few surgeons in Mexico to bring special package pricing to members of the forum. They only partner with surgeons who meet their strict standards and clearly Almanza doesn't come close!
