have my appointment booked for july, just wondering if anyone had work done in the florence hospital in mexico or got dr.zavalza to do their gastric sleeve.

so far great reviews but just expanding my search for reviews. anything is greatly appreciated!

Hi! Dr. Z did my surgery about 3 years ago! I’ve had zero complaints! He’s an excellent surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone! You’re in good hands with him!

Hello crystal556655, at 5'6 and 230 lbs, I went to Mexico and had the revisional Gastric Bypass (a revision from Vertical Sleeve done in 2011 by another Dr.) surgery with Dr. Zavalza Oct 13, 2017 at Florence Hospital. On that Friday morning, I flew in/traveled alone by choice - was TERRIFIED and said a lot of prayers but it was a great experience. The driver that picked me up was very nice and calming. No issues, no problems, the hospital staff was very nice (despite the language barrier), everything flowed as easy as could be and I don't regret a THING! Just wish I had done it sooner. The hotel was nice and they gave me plenty of broth soup - which I did not even want. I flew back home that Tuesday with x-rays, paperwork and a post op diet guide and am VERY happy with my steady weight loss. Takes time to realize you can't eat as much as you used to but other than that, I don't do anything differently and continue to lose. I highly recommend Dr. Zavalza and his staff. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you in any way. I know what you are going through - believe me.

Had my surgery Monday. 5/20/19.
They were great!!

Hi! Do you mind me asking what the total price was. Was it an actual hospital or like an out patient setting.

$4,399 for the gastric sleeve.

It's a small hospital. You stay 2 nights and are very well taken care of. They then move you to the Marriott hotel for 1 or 2 nights (your choice at no extra cost) but continue to send a facilitator to check on you and still providing everything you need.
