I have received several phone calls from patients and potential patients asking for clarification. A few people called me stating that they were confused about information they read on this board, so I’m posting this here so that I can hopefully clear up the confusion. Martin Salvador Valencia, MD, FACS still performs bariatric (including Lap-Band) surgeries at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana, Mexico as well as Hospital Velmar in Ensenada, Mexico. He has chosen to concentrate on his own patients, thus he will not perform the hospital’s cases any longer. This means that surgeries with Dr. Valencia can no longer be scheduled through BeLiteWeight and MUST be scheduled directly with Dr. Valencia’s office by calling 877-765-THIN (8446) or by visiting our website

Thank you and our best to you in your weight loss journey!

You have to look under the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and do an "Experts Search". Just type in his last name (spelled Valencia). Here's a couple of links showing him at the UCLA site:

UCLA News

Spanish-speaking Faculty Experts [uCLA Media Kit]

Scroll down and look under the heading: Medical Experts and sub heading: Surgery

Sorry, but surgery at UCLA is MUCH more expensive! It would be nice though.

Glad to help!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
