The doctor was wonderful, but Sheri Burke is terrible. There were patients who had their own private room, but she didn’t even mention anything about private rooms to me. After the surgery, she told me she would be in touch with me, but never was. I discovered she was in touch with many of the patients after surgery.

Will this be worth it?
I'm 41 years old, always up and down on my weigh. As I'm getting older its harder to lose weight and keep it off. I seen a lot of good reviews on the Orbera balloon and decided to go for it. I'm 5'4 and weight 211. Procedure was 4 days ago Oct 20, 2018. They put me to sleep and I woke up with big Bertha (balloon) lol. The first two days I vomited all the liquids I drank and it was so hard to sleep. I cant explain the feeling but your just not comfortable. I was thinking OMG!

Best Mini Gastric Bypass Doctor in Tijuana Mexico
It took me the longest time to make up my darn mind as to which doctor choose for my mini gastric bypass surgery. The quotes I obtained varied, but so did the reviews for the doctors performing this type of surgery. I know one thing for sure, I would not be risking my life with an inexperienced doctor in Tijuana Mexico just because I wanted to save money. Long story short, I ended up choosing Dr. Verboonen because of the incredible customer service I received since day one.

Amazing!
I spoke with the Dr's in house patient facilitator Ricardo and all I can say is that since first contact, Ricardo showed that he really cared about my well being and not just about me as another patient. Thank you for your time during those after hours conversations to help me find the best weight loss option.

Best Gastric Sleeve Doctor in Mexico
This review is long overdue. I researched having my mini gastric sleeve done in Mexico for over a year until I read the reviews by other Dr. V's patients and decided to contact him. Since the very begging, you are greeting by a warm and sophisticated manner by Ricardo, their in house patient services manager. We probably messaged each other back and forth for over a month, and Ricardo helped me coordinate everything I needed from travel, flight itinerary everything. Once I

Best Doctor
Very happy I went with Dr. Verboonen. My coordinator kept in contact with me and helped facilitate everything going smoothly. We actually drove into Mexico and showed up the morning of my surgery. All of the doctors and nurses were so nice and caring. They took good care of me. A majority of the staff spoke very good English. The nurses anticipated anything I would need. They made the recovery after the sleeve much more manageable.

Great Dr.
I had my intragastric balloon placed on May 5th this year. After quite some research I decided to go with Dr. Verboonen and have the Spatz balloon instead of any of the others in the market. The reason for this was the lifetime of the balloon. Spatz is 12 months and the others are kept in the body for about 6 months. I live in San Diego and am very familiar with TJ, and know Mexico has some amazing Doctors so I really was not afraid of having the procedure done in Mexico. The
My appointment is scheduled, flight booked (heading across the boarder to Mexico), and I have my mindset to go with my choice! Why the Spatz3? I think the same reason some go with the lapband. It is adjustable, and less permanent, while also being adjustable later. I wanted the 1 year outlook, and I wanted the ability to increase or decrease the fluid with progress or plateau. I have no problem eating healthy food, I just never feel satisfied and am ALWAYS hungry. After Thanksgiving,

The Absolute Best Experience Before, During and After Surgery! - Tijuana, Mexico
Dr. Verboonen, Sheri Burke and staff have been absolutely amazing! I am almost 2 years post op and I still receive messages asking how I'm doing! The care before, during and after my procedure has gone above and beyond my expectations. I thank them for helping me take the first step in regaining control of my life!
I wasn't always overweight. Growing up I was a very competitive athlete, playing basketball 10-12 months out of the year from the time I was in fourth grade through high school. Then comes then a bunch of grief and trauma along with quitting all sports. I ended up finding myself spending time with a self-proclaimed bulimic/over eater and learned a lot of unhealthy eating habits for the first time. Then comes college and since then I just have never been able to truly get this
