Wow, this has been a journey. At first when I told my family that I was having surgery, they were apprehensive, but when I told them where I was going. They were downright opposed to my decision. Undeterred by the negativism, I went to Tijuana alone to have surgery with Dr. Almanza. At my highes... * read more.

Great Experience (04/21/2016)
I will admit it now. I was a little worried going to Tijuana to have my procedure. But once I was there all of the nerves went away. Everyone took such good care of me. I would do it again in a heartbeat. It's been almost a month since I had my surgery and everything is going well. Still on liquid d... * read more.

My New Journey (04/18/2016)
I am 5'6" and was 225 pounds, I feel fat, lazy, and was so disappointed and sad with myself. I researched several places and I found that Dr. Velazquez would be my best choice. When I arrived in San Diego I was greeted by a very kind driver who took me straight to the hospital for a same day surgery... * read more.
Good experience (04/18/2016)
Everything went well for me. The staff was professional, knowledgable and helpful. Everyone spoke English.

I would suggest asking for a prescr... * read more.
