How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

One year post op
It took me a long time, but I finally hit 100lbs lost today. I danced around the same 5 pounds for a while, and then buckled back down and started getting more water in and getting back to basics with my food. My surgiversary is tomorrow, 12/15. It has been a really fast year. I should have taken my measurements before I posted this. For some reason I can't post pics...will try again later. It has been a great year, weight-loss wise. I have gained so much confidence and lost so much negativity. I went from a 22/24 and a 2x top to a 12/14 pants and a medium or large top. The other day I ordered some item of clothing online, and when I got the package and opened it up, my first thought was "wow, that looks really small", but I put it on and it fit. It's hard to wrap my head around it sometimes. I feel better and look better. But best of all, and most importantly, the negative self talk that went on inside my head constantly, daily, has ceased. All of my blood tests have gone well. A year later I still only consume maybe a cup of food at a time at the most. I eat several small meals a day. If anyone is thinking about doing this surgery, and you are on the fence, just do it. I know it's scary, but you won't regret it and honestly you will look back and wonder what the big deal was. I highly recommend Dr. Carlos Altamirano in Tijuana for surgery.
10 months post op
I am down 97 lbs. Started at a size 22/24 and am not 13/14 and wearing medium or large tops. No more plus sizes! My recovery has been awesome. Weight loss has slowed down significantly in the last month. Very, very happy overall...energy up, self esteem and self love higher, depression and anxiety lower.
Provider Review
Dr. Ramos Kelly
Dr. is in Tijuana, not Austin. Skilled surgeon, greats results, horrible bedside manor and aftercare.
