- Surgeon: Dr. Marcelo Hernandez
My daughter and I went to Mexico on Medical Tourism and got the Gastric Sleeves done together. It was a great experience. We got to stay together in our room before and after surgery. Our Doctor was Dr. Marcelo Hernandez. The Dr. and staff were great. My daughter has lost about 20 pounds and I have lost 14 pounds and we are two weeks after surgery. It has been life changing for us. My daughter WAS Diabetic but no longer has to take Metformin since the surgery. I may not need to be on blood pressure meds anymore since the surgery. Why fight the red tape in the U.S. to get a procedure done? We had been fighting in the U.S. for two years with no success. It was cheap to get the procedure in Mexico compared to the states. Once your History and Physical are approved you are on your way. It was so easy and they make it as little stress as possible for the patient. They even allow you to bring a friend. I'm referring others who want to go get the procedure also. I am a nurse and these people do a wonderful job. Do it for your health you won't regret it.
