John DeBarros Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

The staff at WLIA is very knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone I have talked to has answered my questions or addressed any concerns I had about billing or medical procedures. You won’t be disappointed in your decision to go with WILA as they are very supportive in all aspects. I highly recommend WILA.

I had gastric sleeve surgery about 4 months ago. My surgeon was Dr. DeBarros. Dr. DeBarros is very skilled, and I have complete confidence in him and all of the staff. I felt completely informed and prepared for surgery, recovery, and for the lifetime adjustments. My initial consultation was very helpful, and I knew exactly what to expect in all aspects. I have had great success and have lost 47 pounds so far. I feel like all of the staff members really care about me and are excited about my progress. I am very happy I worked with the Weight Loss Institute of Arizona!

I really like the staff, I am getting ready to have my lapband procedure within the next couple of months. The staff is very professional, as well as very friendly. They are always there to answer all questions you may have as well, there is no pressure for this procedure also. They explain the different types of procedures the how they each work and the benefits of each. I do recommend Dr. DeBarros and his staff for this procedure.

I had the lap band procedure done by Dr DeBarros in 2011. I had fantastic results. I went from a size 18 to a size 9, The surgery went very well n Dr DeBarros made me feel very comfortable on my 1st time surgery ever. My recovery was pretty fast. I have not regretted making this decision one bit! The staff is very friendly and helpful answering any questions you might have. I would definitely recommended WLIA for your surgery

I had my lap band surgery in jan. 2015. Before the surgery, I was tired all the time, my joints hurt, and of course very overweight. It has been six months now, and I am walking or riding a bike for about a hour 4-5 times a week. I feel great and have had quite a few compliments from my husband, family and friends. I am still working to get to my goal. This was the best thing I could have done for myself by far. Thanks Dr. DeBarros!

So happy with this experience. The whole team has been great. I especially like working with Dr. DeBarros. He helps me to feel he is committed to my long-term success. He answers all of my questions, discusses my concerns and gives me the confidence I need to move forward to what is next.

Dr. DeBarros and his staff have been amazing, i look forward to the patient doctor relationship. My first visit could not have gone any better. Very pleased.

I decided in Jan 2015 that I needed to make a serious change in my life with my health. I decided to join the WLIA, that's where I met Dr. Debarros . I must admit I was not sure if I was going to move forward I was afraid but after having my consultation with him I knew I was in the right hands. I liked the fact that he did not sugar coat anything , he laid everything out on the table the good the bad and ugly. When I left his office my mind as wells as my husbands mind was set we were ready to move forward. I already had my 1st surgery correcting my Hiatal hernia which went very well, he has a great team working with him they are very polite and caring I couldn't have picked a better team.

Everyone on the WLIAZ team has been great, I've had nothing but a positive experience so far! I am very excited for my procedure and thank the whole team for their help.

Dr debarros and his staff have been nothing but amazing from day one. Desipite the number of patients they see every day. They always make sure to give you personal service that you just don't get anymore at most places.
