Just found this on the gen discussion board:
I was silly enough for a second.... thank God to be as price sensitive to look for a cheap option and then found about 6 channel 10 news stories on why not to choose cheap here is just one of the links: http://www.10news.com/news/team-10-dozens-injured-during-wei ght-loss-surgery-in-mexico I am going to choose Dr. Jose Rodriguez through beliteweight.com who my friend went to with outstanding results. Accredited hospital and the Dr. is amazing. I am so glad I decided not to go cheap and risk my life.
I did not go through this company but I have heard good things about it. If you need any info on my doctor, Fernando Garcia, let me know. Good luck to you!
Hello,
Can anyone tell me about your experience with Dr. Ortiz with A Lighter Me in TJ, Mexico for the VSG? I'm doing research but would also like to hear personal experiences. I'm cross posting this in the Mexico and VSG forums too.
Thanks.

I have finally scheduled my vgs for the beginning of 2016. Any and all reviews on Dr. Almanza is appreciated! As you can tell I am nervous. This is a Big life step for me!
I did a lot of research before choosing Dr. Alejandro Lopez. At first it was between him and A Lighter Me but I found the staff at A Lighter Me too pushy and felt that they just wanted my money. I was sleeved August 20th 2014 by Dr. Alejandro Lopez and have had great success and no complications! His staff is awesome and took care of my from the moment I landed in San Diego until they brought me back. I would definitely recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Good luck to you and follow your gut instinct :)
I usually leave Mexico out of the conversation these days too because when I tell people I had my sleeve done in Mexico, they look at me like I have 3 heads or something. So I just say that I had the sleeve and describe what that is to people that don't know. My parents were adamant that they did not want me to do the surgery in Mexico and I actually delayed by several years because my mom was so adamant, but I finally decided that I had to do what is right for me and I have never been happier in my life, so I must have done something right. I could not have afforded the surgery otherwise, so this was the best decision for me and everyone is entitled to make the best decision for themselves.
Have you found the right Doctor for you? I had Dr Aljendro Lopez and had such a wonderful experience. I have referred several friends and relatives to him and have all had no issues what so ever. I am happy in my sleeved life. It's been one year and I am down 123 pounds.

I know that I am late answering...but I agree 100%. Dr Alvarez is an amazing doctor. I went to him in February and I am thankful everyday for my decision.
