I was just reading this news story from last year, 2015... So scary. I hope those that go out of country or go anywhere for that matter, have a loved one with them during this procedure.

Mexico

I read that article too!!!! SCARY!!!!

Dr. Almanza... there's your answer. That guy is a hack and I would say 90% of the stories about injuries/death/complications from patients who go to TJ for WLS come from HIS patients. Why anyone still uses him is a complete mystery to me. I have seen dozens, if not hundreds of accounts of how terrible he is. Yet some people apparently still do ZERO research and end up going to him. It is mind boggling. There are so many reputable and trusted surgeons in TJ that are reasonably priced, so I have no idea why anyone would resort to going to him. As far as I know, he's not even the cheapest!

No reason to ever be scared if you have Bariatric Pal as your team. They will never leave you alone. I could not have made a better cboice for who to trust my surgery to.

I had a wonderful experience in Mexico as well but I researched the crap out of everything!
