I have noticed that Dr. Ungson's name has been mentioned a lot as a doctor who specialized in performing the DS surgery.  Has anyone had good DS results from any other doctor in Mexico?  I assume Dr. Ungston is the best but i'm just curious about experiences with other doctors.

There was another that had built a decent reputation, but he was killed in the last year or so.  There is also a couple who say they're doing a DS on you, but you wind up with some crazy variation that no other doc wants to address after the fact.  Another nearly killed a couple of people (see Larissa's story).  Seriously, if you're looking to Mexico for DS - look no further than Dr. Ungson.  

If you've not considered Brazil yet, Dr. Jao Marchenesi is another fabulous option.

I went to Dr. Casteneda In Puerta Vallarta, Mexico.  He performed the DS on me.  No complications, Great Doctor, Great Hospital.

He advertises on this website. Look for the ads for MexicaliBariatric. They flash on my screen all the time, and he's one of the surgeons named in their ads.

Dr. Ungson is the ONLY DS (not SADI, LoopDS, or SIPS) BUT DS surgeon in Mexico.

Dr. Aceves WAS a DS surgeon but he was killed in a plane crash last summer (2014).
