    The doctor I am going to be using is listed on the site Dr. Fernando Garcia but I went through Ready4AChage.

    I would check around though as the packages look a little different. If you find a doctor, the 3 (I am sure there are others but these are the ones I see people mention most) companies to check out are ready4achange , alighterme and the one you are asking about see what the difference is in their prices and what each package includes.

    Best of luck to you!

    Start: 8/2012 - 303 lbs

    I havent seen this company before, I just had my sleeve performed by the husband & wife team Drs. Lopez & Osuna ( just Dr. Lopez & his team though, his wife was taking care of family business) But I did meet her & talk to her at the Marriot where we were recovering after our 2 days recovering at the hospital. She was very nice as her husband is too, I had a wonderful surgery & recovery experience , no complications at all. I'm just 13 days out from my surgery date, & I'm so happy with my decision to go to Mexico & to get the vsg. Just do your research on both the doctors and the companies that represent them, there are many out there. Just ask all the questions that you need to & see who gives you the best feeling. I wish you success on your decision!
    Surgery day weight 9/26/12 187lbs, 10/26 167lbs 18" lost, 11/26 160 lbs 24" lost, 12/26 151 35" gone, 1/26/13 145.6lbs 41.5" lost, 2/26 140 lbs. 6.5" lost, reached goal weight 10 months out , 66 lbs and 62 total inches gone!

    I have not noticed this company before either. My surgeon was Dr. Almanza at the Jeruselem Clinic in TJ. There are several good surgeons in Mexico, but be sure to do your research.

    Dr. Quinones is good (so I hear). There are many women giving testimonies in a group on here. Good luck, and please update up on your journey.

    Weight Loss Surgery in Mexico | Mexico Bariatric Center Looks like they've added two new doctors, Dr. Ismael Cabrera and Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela. Another member on this site said that these two doctors don't do much promotion. I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or not.

    Let me tell you that the promotion really doesn't equate to surgical skills, there are a number of reasons that a doctor might not have good or any promotion. When I found my surgeon his site was junk, it even would send you to another doctors site if you tried to submit the questionnaire form for surgery. Your best bet is to talk to other patients, preferable recent patients, and call your doctor up and just ask them. I work in the technology and marketing industry, so I could tell why my doctors site wasn't great...it literally looked like a rip off, and I told him that, and that he had no idea how much business that was costing him, but down in Mexico a lot of doctors do all of their websites through the same company...trust me good work is hard to find, if you don't know what to look for. Anyway, after talking with my doctor's office and his previous patients I knew that I found the right one for me, and he did an amazing job. Just ask the question like how long have they been doing the surgery, education, how many surgeries they have done, and really talk to other people if you can, that help so much with me finding my surgeon. Their are lost of great surgeons in Mexico, so don't let that scare ya.

    Would you recommend for someone to got to Dr Almanza? Someone that is VERY nervous about going to Mexico for surgery?
