I had Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on November 21. My PCP back home referred me to see a GI specialist just to double-check my sleeve. I wasn’t having any complications at all, he was just curious because I traveled for surgery instead of lingering on a waitlist. Initially, he wasn’t overly supportive of my decision. The GI specialist reported that my sleeve was the best work he has ever seen. Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela is a skilled surgeon with an amazing bedside manner. She paid very close attention to me and answered all my questions. The entire team was skilled and empathetic. I would recommend her to anyone.
