Reviews and Ratings
Having gone through the gastric sleeve procedure herself, Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela welcomes women seeking weight loss surgery feeling comfortable with female doctors who can readily relate to their unique gender-based medical issues. One of Dr. Valenzuela’s woman Gastric Sleeve patients expresses her appreciation with much passion.
“May 2018 I took the leap of faith and Dr Valenzuela truly gave me my life back. 8 months later I went back to Tijuana with my cousin to have the sleeve. 5 months after that I’m back in Tijuana with my 16 year old to have surgery. Hands down best decision of my life!”
“In 2015 I decided enough was enough. After succeeding and then failing with Medifast weight loss, I decided to do the VSG surgery. I still to this day cannot thank Dr. Valenzuela enough for giving me my life back! The only thing that I regret is not having the surgery sooner!”
“Today is my One-year Surgiversary! 84 pounds Lost from 250 lbs starting weight down to 166 lbs! Still, the best decision I have made for myself. It is not a fix-all but has been the best “tool” for me. This next year I hope to make it a fitness year!”
