Hi I'm new to all of this so I am hoping others who have gone before me can provide some advice. I was wondering if anyone out there has had there gastric sleeve completed with Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela, Mexico Bariatric Center? I am from Canada, have never had surgery outside of the country and I am scared as heck to take the leap. Does anyone have some advice they would like to share?

Hi - I'm looking into the same place and doctor. Have you found any information?

There is a way to search your doctor on this site. You can also search previous posts about that doctor.

If you're going by yourself, try to contact a coordinator, I used Bariatric Pal, they give you full service, they can even pick you up at the airport and drive you back, you won't need to look for a hotel, after two days in the hospital, they take you to a really nice recovery house with 24 hours valet service, cable, long distance calls, wifi.. etc.. I had a great experience with them, my doctor was Dr. j. Lopez, but they have more doctors in their team, they are all well experienced, but most important of all, you won't have to worry about anything.. GOOD LUCK
