I know Bariatric Pal doesn't have a relationship with Dr Lopez Corvala (anymore). I'm not sure why, but based on my research I'm leaning towards surgery with him. I want to have surgery in a full fledged hospital rather than an outpatient center and like his other qualifications.

I emailed with Dr Ortiz nurse and coordinator and they were evasive with their answers to my very specific questions despite their good patient reviews.

My final piece is to find some people that have experience to help me dedice if I should go with him...

Anyone out there have experience with Corvala?? Thanks

Have you done a search on the forum?

I'm having my sleeve surgery on December 16th in Tijuana Mexico . I've heard nothing but good things about their surgeons and medical staff. I'm excited and nervous at the same time about having surgery outside of the country

I am literally on my flight back from Tijuana right now. Had my VSG done with Dr. Garcia at CER. Wonderful experience. I met other people down there who had equally great experiences with the surgeons affiliated here. Beautiful facilities, excellent caring staff who took time to sit and discuss all questions.

Bar none a better experience than anything I had in the states. Do your research here and see which doctors and facilities seem to fit you best. But, I have no qualms recommending surgery in Tijuana after my experience.

Good luck to all of you!

I'd be concerned about evasive answers. There are so many surgeons that have wonderful reviews and feedback.

I have surgery scheduled with Dr. Corvala on 02/16/2016. Kim is my case worker and has answered so many questions and just eased any fears I have. So far I have enjoyed my experience with them.

I am having my survey with alobariatrics.com/Dr. Lopez, I had all my questions answered..nothing but good praises is ask I've seen about him so I can't wait.

Damn autocorrect, lol..
