We had a great experience. My girlfriend had lap band removal surgery on June 16, 2023. The staff was so friendly and attentive. The surgery went smoothly and her recovery was fast.

I traveled to Monterrey to have the gastric sleeve in July 2022. From the moment I arrived I experienced first class service. Nydia was absolutely amazing from pre op answering all my questions

Dr. Barrera was one of the most kind and respectful doctors I have ever met. He never made me feel FAT or ashamed.

I had such a great experience with Dr. Francisco Barrera and his whole team. From the coordinator Nydia, the nutritionist, the psychologist and his surgery team, we were amazed from start to finish!

I really enjoyed my experienced from start to finish. Nydia was a total angel handling everything for me, and she kept in touch step by step before, during and after my surgery. I traveled alone and was a bit scared but Nydia made me feel safe and comfortable. Dr. BARRERA was AWESOME! EXPLAINED everything thoroughly and just overall great. (Rest of the team as well) . I definitely recommend everyone to contact Dr.Francisco(or Nydia) for a great weight loss journey you will NOT regret it! Thank you Nydia and Dr.BARRERA I appreciate u more than u know.
