Best thing I’ve ever done for myself *

  • Name: Mary
  • Age: 61
  • Surgery: Gastric Sleeve and Hernia Repair Add On
  • Surgery date: July 21st, 2017
  • Testimonial date: April 17th, 2018
  • Surgeon: Dr. Galileo Villarreal
My experience with Dr Villarreal and his staff was great. His driver Carla picked us up at the airport and drove us to the hospital, where within minutes of our arrival Dr V appeared to introduce himself to my husband and I. From then on I felt safe and taken care of. His assistant Karen was there anytime we needed her, she was such a big help. She even came to get my husband when it was time to eat so she could take him to restaurants close by.
Dr V also made sure that I had an English speaking nurse for 2 days of my stay (Alexandro), and he was amazing.
My whole experience was one I won t forget. I would do it all over again.
I healed up nicely and as of today, April 17, 2018 (9 months) I have lost 80 lbs. By 7 months I had hit my goal weight of 150, but my body wasn t done losing so I ve since lost another 10 lbs. Going from 220 to 140. 80lbs!!
It s the best decision I ve ever made.
