Long Term VSG and Dr. Jorge Maytorena

Hi everyone.  As one of the first to have surgery with this company, I wanted to reach out to those who are considering using them or who already have to follow up and see how things are going.  I love to stay in contact with those who have taken the route I have.  I think it is great to share our journeys and compare and contrast how things are going for us.  

Hi Chrissy! I'm considering Dr. Maytorena for my surgery but am skeptical because his price is so low and there aren't many reviews for him online. He has been practicing for quite some time and has done many surgeries so I'm wondering why there isn't more information about him on this forum and other sites. What are the facilities like that he uses? Does he do pre-op testing and post-op leak tests? How long is your stay for surgery and is recovery in a hospital setting or a hotel? Any information you can give me about your experience would be great. The price just makes it seem too good to be true and that makes me nervous. Thanks in advance!

Hi and good morning.

His price is the most shocking thing to most because it is cheaper than anyone else that I have seen and I understand.  Dr. M has just recently started doing surgery in Tijuana.  This is a promo that Long Term VSG is offering and I expect that it will go up.  

I have a YouTube channel with videos that you can watch of me and check out my progress.  I had my surgery with Dr. M because of the research I done.  Dr. M originally practiced surgeries in Mexicali.  If you google his name and include Mexicali in the search, you will find a lot of info on him there.  There are also 2 Facebook groups that are exclusive to him and LT VSG.  The first one is Long Term VSG with Dr. Jorge Maytorena.  Ruben (the go to guy at LT VSG) and Dr. M are both members.  This is the link to join this group if you wish......https://www.facebook.com/groups/758719204236937/.  The other is Long Term VSG and they're not members of this group.  The link to this one is..........https://www.facebook.com/groups/644906018944976/.  Both of these groups were made by people who are researching, scheduled or have already had surgery with this surgeon.  There are many of us who have already had our surgery on both of these groups so please feel free to join.

Please take a moment to watch my videos....they're nothing special but do provide good info and facts.  Long Term VSG started their company this year in Tijuana and enlisted Dr. M to be their surgeon.  I was one of the first to use LT VSG.  I am still about 9 days from being 5 month's post and am already at goal.  You can find my YouTube channel......https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS29vLDBZlwXAs_yITK8kdw and I also have a blog at https://chrissygallegos.wordpress.com/.  

As I said, my videos aren't anything special but you will find the honest truth about my experience which is the only one I speak freely on because well it is mine.  LOL  I hope this info helps you out and please let me know if you have any questions.  

Thanks Chrissy! I'll give your videos a watch for sure and check out the Facebook groups.
