    Hi there, new here. Just found this site to get reviews on surgeons in Mexico because I'm not covered by insurance here in the states. I'm a 44 year old female from Florida....and I'm over it. Ready to shed this skin I'm in!

    Congratulations on making this life saving decision. I just had surgery 1-24-17; I'm doing good and having success. I'm down 30lbs in 28days. I really like my surgeon and the group that scheduled it and educated me on the surgery and much more. My doctor is Dr Almanza and the group is Weight loss Agents. The hospital he and others work out of is very clean, comfortable and as state of the art OR's. The hotel they use is very nice and comfortable with beautiful grounds. The staff went out of there way to make us feel welcomed and the nurses there and at the hospital were all very nice and experienced. I would go
    back in a heartbeat. The area around the hospital and hotel was nice and we felt comfortable walking all around. There are others that I hear are good too.
    I really like Dr Alvarez who does Ask Dr A. On here and YouTube. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. If you pm me I can also give you my number. Good Luck : )
