We enjoyed seeing all guests who attended the Edmonton Weight Loss Surgery Seminar on August 27th, 2016. This event served as a unique chance to meet our CEO/Founder, Ron Elli, and one of Mexico Bariatric Centers’ top bariatric surgeons, Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela.

At this forum, former patients and individuals considering bariatric surgery in Tijuana all came together for the unique chance take in some quality information. Guests were given the opportunity to hear from Ron Elli, Ph.D. and Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela as the following topics were covered:

• Types of bariatric surgery covered by Mexico Bariatric Center
• How Mexico Bariatric Center values their patients from start to finish
• Costs of weight loss surgery in Tijuana
• Obesity statistics and risks
• The benefits of bariatric surgery for fast weight loss

At the end of this event, some of the former patients were kind enough to stand front and center to share their gastric sleeve success stories. Guests were able to ask them direct questions and get an in-depth look at what they could expect going into and out of surgery.

Guests who attended this event were also given the opportunity to take advantage of a special promotional offer. A discounted gastric sleeve surgery package was given out to one selected winner in a random drawing at the end of the event.
