I had the gastric sleeve done about 4 years ago by a different doctor in Mexico. The experience was NOTHING close to the one I had with Dr. Villarreal! Dr. Villarreal called me the weekend before my procedure. He speaks in PERFECTO english and will tell you the truth about what he can do for you versus continuing to sell you to the idea of another surgery. I flew in a day late to Laredo, TX from Washington, DC due to weather (surgery postponed and rescheduled for a later time, no prob!). In no time, his driver, Sergio, is there to pick you up with a sign of your name in hand...ROCKSTAR STATUS! I get to the hospital and instantly impressed. The recovery room they put you in for a couple of days is LARGE, BEAUTIFUL, and CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. Surgery went smooth and as soon as I came out of anesthesia I was up walking around with nurses by my side at all times. The medical facility was just wonderful. The HUGE difference between this experience and my past experience...Dr. Villarreal visited me FREQUENTLY to check progress. You don't get that even in a US hospital! I heal a little quicker than most but I was out exploring the third day out of surgery and back at my desk job on the fourth. I am 2 weeks out of surgery and down 15 lbs with my resleeve.

This experience was absolutely FABULOUS!
