I have decided I want to get the gastric sleeve procedure sometime in the spring and I am looking at surgeons. Dr. Huacuz was recommended to me. Anyone have any feedback on him? Thanks.

I never have heard of him to be honest... Look into Dr. Lopez as well. I will getting my surgery the week of the 10th with him. I went through alighterme and Janese is my coordinator.

Never read anything about him on VST. I went to Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. He is excellent, a really great surgeon. Research the Dr's in Mexico, there are several great surgeons, just depends on what is important to YOU in picking a surgeon.

hi I had surgery on Oct 20 in Puerto Vallarta with Dr Lopez and I had wonderful care from him. He is wonderful, he came to see me before after and that evening of my surgery. He even drove my husband to our hotel that night. I saw him the next day and during my leak test and then after that. He was great, I dont have any complaints at all and I had no problems after. I cant think of better care unless he stayed in my room the whole time. I would for sure recommend him. thanks

i had my revision with Dr Garcia in Tijuana on September 10th. He is an amazingly skilled surgeon and his price is very reasonable. It is worth to check him out. Google alighterme or Ready4Achange for a coordinator.

Just read those reviews... No offense, but there are other reasonable surgeons in Mexico that have great reputations. From what I'm reading about this Dr. it doesn't sound very good at all. Just do your research and make the best decision for you :)

Be Careful using their last names for search as they all have similar names. Look for all 3 names in their names to match. Its bloody confusing

Thank you! I have got it down to between dr. Garcia and Dr. Lopez.

From the reviews I've read of both, they are both skilled surgeons. I chose Dr. Lopez b/c he specializes in high BMI patients, like myself, who have greater risk during surgery... And he has a second surgeon with him when performs surgery to allow for another set of professional eyes. Since I have a bit of an anesthesia phobia that helps me a lot.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
