We went with Dr. Gonzales - because I was able to find good info about Florence hospital (where he operates) and he has been doing the surgery laproscopically since 1996. 4000 procedures. Reviews said good English. Just a leap of faith when all was said and done. The people we met in Tijuana that used Dr. Zalvasa were super happy too. He had a great support staff. Bariatric Pal.
Good luck - it is a hard decision for sure!

Open procedure was done because my liver was too large for the retractor. He said that he opted to go in and so it open so that the surgery was done and I didn't make a trip here for no reason. Dr. Gonzalez has been an AMAZING surgeon!!
But at least you have no leaks and can drink!!
What did he say? Why the open procedure. I sure hope all is okay!!

I think I posted my first post in the wrong spot! Whoops!!
Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time (okay, second now) poster.
I've got my surgery set for Saturday Nov. 21 with Dr. Kelly at the Clinica San Juan! Flying from Seattle to San Diego Friday.
Not very nervous about Mexico, but I've never been under general anesthesia and honestly that freaks me out a little. I'm just read to fast forward 2 weeks or so. Haha.
Anyone else having the surgery with Dr. Kelly this coming weekend?
