Hello! My name is Susan and I was 51 years old when I decided to have weight loss surgery. Back then, I was in a very bad long-term relationship and a job I was no longer happy at so I decided it was time for things to change. I decided to retire from my job after 32 and a half years. I let the relationship go, went to counseling, and knew I needed help with my weight.
Why MBC?
I chose Mexico Bariatric Center® after searching through the internet. I did a lot of research and found them to be very credible. The positive feedback and success stories I found made me confident in their expertise. It looked like a great place to have bariatric surgery at.
My Experience in Mexico
From the moment I was assigned a coordinator to the seamless airport pickup and finally meeting my surgeon, my experience with Mexico Bariatric Center was nothing short of exceptional! I cannot emphasize enough how truly amazing Dr. Osuna is. Her dedication to patient care and willingness to address any and all concerns with thorough explanations is commendable. She is a valuable asset to the team at MBC. I am happy to share that I experienced zero complications following the surgery, making this decision the best one I have ever made.

My Life After Surgery
My life after bariatric surgery is great! I can do so many physical activities that I couldn’t do before the surgery. I am no longer reliant on any medications. This new version of me is all thanks to Mexico Bariatric Center, which provided me with the invaluable tool I needed. I stayed patient and finally hit “onederland” or the one-hundred-pound milestone in May 2022. I am immensely grateful to be on this transformative journey, and I wholeheartedly encourage others to trust the process and embrace their own unique path toward a healthier and happier life.
About Gastric Sleeve
In the early 2000s, a surgical procedure known as laparoscopic gastric sleeve, or vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), was introduced as the initial step in a biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch procedure for extremely obese individuals. Over time, VSG gained recognition as an effective standalone bariatric surgery due to its impressive weight loss outcomes. Unlike other procedures, VSG does not affect the absorption of food within the body; instead, it achieves weight loss by reducing food intake and resetting the body’s metabolic system.
The technical skill of the bariatric surgeon in creating the gastric tube and its upper section is significantly important. The surgical teams at Mexico Bariatric Center® possess the necessary expertise and experience to carry out gastric sleeve surgeries in Mexico, ensuring a high success rate and minimal complications.
