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.

$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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
