Dr. Luis Cervantes had a patient death about three weeks ago at Hospital Guadalajara in Tijuana. I suggest looking for another surgeon. There are quite a few good ones in Mexico! No need to put your life at risk.

I'm in Tijuana at the moment and I'm normally here every month. The TJ Bariatric surgeons and nurses know one another and nothing happens without the entire town knowing about it, especially a patient fatality. I just called two surgeons to double confirm and I'm 100% this occurred. All I know is the patient passed away. I don't have details about the complication(s) that occurred.

I talked with Eduardo Zompa and the Hospital Guadalajara and they both said that there have been no deaths occurring at their facilities or with Dr. Luis Cervantes who does Bariatric surgery through Mexico Bariatrics.

You mean Eduardo Zonta. He's currently Dr. Luis Cervantes's personal assistant.

Eduardo Zonta used to be Dr. Carlos Altamirano's personal assistant.

It's a small world......Dr. Cervantes used to be Dr. Altamirano's surgical assistant.

Hospital Guadalajara is covering up this death as they've covered up Dr. Altamirano's patient deaths at the same facility.

Please don't select your bariatric surgeon based on price. I suggest doing more research before selecting your surgeon.

I was really wanting to go with him, but the thing that turned me off is he does not speak English. That really makes me nervous for some reason.

If you look at it another way, maybe HE'S the one nervous because we dont speak Spanish !!

Dr. Cervantes is an excellent, caring doctor and he has his own Facebook page as he is no longer associated with Mexico Bariatrics. I don't regret my decision for even one moment. I just regret not doing it earlier. Let me tell you something tho. Please, when asking other surgeons or asking advice about other surgeons be aware that even on this forum, the doctors smack talk each other. One doctor on this forum told me that the hospital I was going to and Dr. Cervantes had just had a death on the table. I heavily investigated it and found it to be a lie. The smack talker doctor that told me that also told me not to have surgery based on price. I researched for a year and a half before deciding on Dr. Cervantes, and I did a lot of praying. I am so happy with my choice. Dr Cervantes has a great translator and a great team.

I agree 1000%. Dr Luis Cervantes is simply the best. My Surgery was May 8th 2017. I’m down 50 lbs and kept it off. I love that doc and would do it all over again. He is wonderful !!!

As a nurse, who has practiced 33 years, If this, Dr who I am scheduled to have surgery with on June 13th, has only had 1 death then I am all the more comfortable. Thats a small percentage of the amount of surgeries he performs. Also, he is caring for 100% obese patients who are unhealthy for the most part when they walk in the door. Things are going to happen. I pray for Gods grace and mercy for my scheduled surgery coming up but 1 death does not constitute changing doctors..

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
