    Welcome Tiffany! There are lots of Mexico sleevers on here. I am sure they will chime in! Dr. Almanza is probably the most used Mexico surgeon on here.

    Hi Tiffany,
    This is my response from another forum topic regarding Mexico:

    I haven't come across that particular doctor. I had my surgery with Dr Valenzuela and her team in Tijuana. I couldn't have asked for better care (and Im an RN in Canada). The facility has an ICU which I think is key when considering surgery. Additionally Dr Valenzuela had a VGS in 2016, performed at the hospital she works out of by one of the other surgeons that practices at that facility. Contact Mexico Bariatric if you'd like more info. My experience couldn't have been better!
    The whole thread is available under "forum", 3rd topic down. I believe the title is "researching doctors in Mexico"
    Best of luck on your journey
