I would do it again! (08/25/2015)
I am 6 days post op and have returned home. I am feeling better each day and know that this was definitely the right decision for me. The care I received far exceeded what I imagined that it would. Although they do not baby you in the hospital and upon returning to the hotel for after care, they ... * Read full review + 8 more photos →
Exceptional Care From Start to Finish! (08/25/2015)
I had to say that I was very leary when my co-worker told me about gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico. How could it be safe? How could it ever compare to the hospital that I work at? I started doing research in March of 2015, and after talking to several representatives at Weight Loss Agents who answe... * Read full review + 11 more photos →
I've got my life back! (08/25/2015)
I truly feel reborn after having the sleeve done. Dr Almanza was my savior. I feel better than I have in years. The first couple of weeks were somewhat uncomfortable.

Happy (08/23/2015)
Many of my friends thought I was nuts to go to Mexico for surgery. One even said I would wake up missing a kidney. I have to say I spoke with friends, who had gastric sleeve surgery in the US, and I believe I received better care from Dr Almanza than they received. My other friends were sent ho... * Read full review →
Operation went great, other parts not so good. (08/23/2015)
After getting to Mexico, which was very easy, we went straight to the Hospital and got a EKG and blood work. Everything went great till we get to the hotel. They had me and my wife in different room after we were told that we will be place in the same hotel room and recovery room since we are husb... * Read full review →
Renewed Health (08/21/2015)
I didn't have much luck dieting. I exercised and it didn't help with weight loss. I could not get my blood sugars down and the medications for the diabetes just kept getting higher and higher. I am so happy that I am off all medications, for diabetes and high blood presser, and I feel amazing. Curre... * Read full review →

Everyone I met with were ex... * Read full review →
