I am from NC. I wanted to find a surgeon to do my re-sleeve after gaining 30 pounds of the original 164 pounds I lost in my original sleeve in 2011. I found weight loss systems during a google search and so glad that I did. They made certain I had everything I needed from finding the right Doctor, assisting me with financing of the procedure, coordinating the travel logistics and surgery logistics and the follow-up care has been second to non. I absolutely LOVED Dr, Villarreal! He was so calming and reassuring and HONEST. He was clear to me day one about every step of the process and I so appreciated his bed manner - He is are for me was better than the experience I had in the states! I think I saw Dr Villarreal one-on-one more times than I can remember - he was really a GEM! Also, Karen was my contact person in Mexico and she was a breathe of fresh air, she made certain I knew what to expect when I crossed the border and calmed any nerves I had. Since I took the trip to Mexico by myself, Karen was my confidant, my motivator and my support! I had No issues what soever ever having my surgery in Mexico - nothing to be afraid! You can do it! You will save so much money and the care you get and the quality of service will NOT be anything less than the care you receive in the States.

I ave lost a total of 11 pounds since my surgery and counting... Dr. Villarreal - you would be proud of me as I constantly remember your words that I can get what I put into it! I have been following the post op and walking consistently. I do want to let my friends down in Mexico (:-)...most importantly I do not want to let myself down as I have a 6 year old daughter I left home as I went on travel journey to Mexico for my re-sleeve. I am going to make the best of this second chance!

Last but not least, if you are on the fence about having weight loss surgery in Mexico, as a single parent who took the plunge, you will NOT regret the decision! God bless you all!
