I strongly suggest anyone who has been struggling with their weight and is willing to travel to Tijuana Mexico. Doctor Mario Almanza and his medical staff... all the nurses, all the hotel employees, everything I experience there was fantastic beyond belief. I went through some s... * Leer reseña completa + 7 fotos más →
Great Experience (03/17/2015)
I arrived in Tijuana on the 2/27 and was offered the surgery the same day. My weight on 2/01/15 was 254. Immediately before surgery my weight in the gown only was 234lbs. On Friday 03/06/15 my weight was 224. I have not been this below 225 in over 10 years. I will weigh in again on 03/27. Dr. Almanz... * Leer reseña completa + 1 foto más →

Better than I thought (03/17/2015)
I never thought I would have the weight loss surgery or even go to Mexico! I am happy to say that I did both and my life has been changed for the better!
I met a lot of nice people having the same surgery as me, the hospital was very clean, and the nurses were helpful and always there to answer a... * Leer reseña completa + 1 foto más →
My New life journey and dreams do come true. (03/16/2015)
I was very scared and confused as whether to do the sleeve for months I kept putting it off. I was going to do it and got kidney cancer so I waited 10 months after my kidney surgery. I can say the first 3-4 days were really ruff. But now it's been 2 weeks and am glad I had it done. I've lost 22 poun... * Leer reseña completa + 5 fotos más →
i was unsure (03/16/2015)
I was unsure of having this procedure in Mexico,but I studied and I weighted the odds. I went to a consult here in the United States, here in the U.S its like they don't want your business, they call it a cash price any where from 10,000 to 14,000 dollars if you have insurance that is the cash pric... * Leer reseña completa + 3 fotos más →
Not all good things are easy (03/16/2015)
My niece had the surgery about 8 months before me and she looked great and was very happy about doing this. That was what made me go ahead with something I had been putting off for a long time. Mind you I am very happy I did this. I am entering into my 4th week.
The stay in the hospital/hotel w... * Leer reseña completa + 1 foto más →
Thank you Dr. Almanza (03/14/2015)
I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and what a difference. The first few days were a little
rough, but I am so thankful I made the decision. I have lost 17 lbs. and I have so much
energy. I would highly recommend Dr. Almanza and his staff. You won't be sorry.... * Leer reseña completa + 1 foto más →
Was not sure it would work for me (03/14/2015)
The surgery went well for me. I liked Dr Almanza he was very personable and knows how we feel as he has had the surgery himself. I had surgery on the 15th of October and to date I have lost 78 pounds. I thought I would be one of those people that would not loose hardly any weight but I couldn't of ... * Leer reseña completa →
