Chylyn7 26 Posted May 6, 2015 Hello, I'm leaning towards having my sleeve done with Dr. Almanza, has anyone had their procedure done with him?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,713 Posted May 6, 2015 I would STRONGLY advise you to check out the Self Pay & Mexico sub-forum and do very rigorous research before choosing to go with Almanza, or any surgeon for that matter. There are many great surgeons and facilities in Mexico, but just like in the US, there are good options and bad options and it is best to do your research!

sharonintx 1,275 Posted May 6, 2015 I did. I had surgery with Dr Almanza in March 2013. You are going to get a lot of advice, stories, tales of horror, and warnings about both Mexico and about Almanza. Don't buy into the negativity. Dr Almanza is very capable, professional, and of all the people I met while I was there not one of them had anything bad to report. He did a great job, charged me a reasonable price, my sleeve works great, I have nothing but good things to say about the Dr, his staff, his facility, and the outcome of my surgery. I give him a big thumbs up. I did not have even one small issue - it was a pleasant experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larlar 19 Posted May 6, 2015 I went to Puerta vallerta with Dr Hildago. Him and Almanza went to school together both very good. The airport is in Puerta vallerta so I picked Hildago and it was all great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rebecca5222 4 Posted May 8, 2015 I am scheduled for June 9th with Dr. Ariel Ortiz with OCC. It was difficult to get past having surgery in Mexico, but after a lot of research I feel as comfortable as is possible. I am getting SUPER nervous about the actual surgery.

I've had surgery in Mexico twice now and I assure you, there is nothing to worry about. You will be well taken care of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladybrela 3 Posted May 12, 2015 I used Dr Zavalza and Dr. Luna...they were awesome. I've had three other friends from my area also use them. I highly recommend them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
