ALO BARIATRICS Bariatric Center

I had my Gastric Sleeve done two and a half months ago, I’m enjoying seeing my weight drop week after week, for years I did all the diets and exercise thing and never had I experienced such weight loss, I’m happy for my decision and sticking to all Dr. Ramirez’s directions. He did a great job! I expected a painful recovery but I’ve had none of that. Dr. Salvador Ramirez is so nice; we went through the procedure beforehand and made me feel at ease. Having him explain all aspects of the surgery risks and benefits allowed me to go through with the surgery. I just want to express my gratitude Dr. Ramirez and his team are awesome! BTW I’m 37lbs down!

I traveled to Tijuana and had a refreshingly good experience with my Sleeve Surgery; so very different from any other treatments I’ve ever had here in the states, everyone was so welcoming, warm and friendly.
From the moment that I was picked up at the airport in San Diego I knew I would be in hands of professionals. The hospital was beautiful, super clean and very comfortable.
Dr. Lopez is very nice; he was so patient with me, answered tons of questions for me, explained the whole procedure and came to check on me after the surgery.
I did woke up a little loopy after my operation however I didn’t experience any pain afterwards. I'm now about 3 weeks post-op, I've lost about 10-11lbs already! I feel more energetic and happy; so glad I had my surgery.

So amazed with my transformation that I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am.
Dr. Alejandro Lopez runs a tight ship! Great staff and attention; things went smoothly always, and happened exactly as promised. I arrived, got prepped went into surgery, one day recovery and then I flew back home. Amazing
Still losing so much weight. I’m truly happy with my results. Top notch medical care, lovely people, overall unbeatable value. Thank you.

I just want to thank Dr. Alejandro Lopez for helping me to discover my new self. The weight that I was carrying didn't allow me to be the person I wanted; I have lost so much weight in just 3 months that I'm beyond ecstatic about the positive changes coming my way.
Dr. Lopez and his entire team were so caring and patient with me; I was asking so many questions since our first contact until a few months ago that I have nothing but respect and gratitude. Traveling to Mexico is safe and easy; everyone speaks English and The U.S. is just a short drive away. My God, the facilities in Tijuana are spotless, very upscale, not what you'd expect from a typical hospital; overall very comfortable.
What I'm enjoying the most from this journey is how much active I've become; I'm way more sociable and loving it.

It has only been little over two months since I had my Gastric Sleeve Surgery and I'm feeling so good! I've done so well with the recovery process; I'm very slowly moving forward to solid food now and I'm amazed that I've been successful at sticking to a diet; I thought I'd quit by now! And it's all thanks to my amazing surgeon Dr. Alejandro Lopez; he's so professional and incredibly talented! made me feel very comfortable; very at ease; he is such a gentleman with great bed side manners! I had no complication whatsoever, felt a bit nausea post surgery but nothing else.
It is true, the work speaks for itself; Dr. Lopez is a highly trained surgeon; I have not experienced any pain and I'm losing so much weight; which is an unusual sensation for me; I had never experienced such weight loss especially in so little time. I'm very happy.
Outstanding service, facilities and care, couldn't ask for better results.

I had my Gastric Sleeve Surgery almost 3 months ago and I think I've done extremely well. Still losing weight; so far no major issues with diet nor hunger (biggest concern). Hands down best decision ever. I've been gradually getting rid of constant back and knee pain that used to drive me nuts. I'm so thankful I found a great doctor! I had no complications after surgery, came back home and if I had any doubts all I needed to do was pick up the phone and support was available.
Dr. Alejandro Lopez is very nice, polite and talented. After a lot of research and recommendations I decided on him performing my surgery because I was assured he's a specialist.
Traveling to Tijuana was actually very pleasant, they definitely have a handle on things. Very comfortable accommodations, the hospital is very high end, spotless to say the least and the care you receive from everyone is simply the best. Thank you Dr. Lopez, keep the hard work!

Very happy that my fist time in Mexico has been such a life changing visit! I traveled from Chicago to San Diego and then to Tijuana, Mexico for Gastric Sleeve Surgery with Dr. Ramirez. I was very nervous until I met the people I had been talking to for so long; it was nice to put faces to the names and voices on the phone. Everything went like clockwork; Airport pick up, pre-op testing, surgery and recovery; I got to meet and have my surgeon explain the procedure in detail. It was a good feeling, very personal care; unlike any other I had in The States.
Dr. Ramirez did an awesome job, I'm almost 3 months and a half post-op and my incisions healed perfectly; I feel so happy; I think I've never had so much energy now that I have lost almost 30 pounds; I'm definitely a lot more outgoing, can't express how much this surgery has changed my life and now also, my wardrobe! Thank you so much Dr. Ramirez.

I'm not going to lie, I was very uneasy about traveling to Tijuana, Mexico alone for surgery. Even though I had done plenty of research and talked to everyone involved in the process. I got on a plane to San Diego and hoped for the best. Let me tell you, I am so glad I chose Dr. Alejandro Lopez and his team at ALO Bariatrics, outstanding professionals, their commitment to their jobs, proficiency and people skills are just beyond reproach. I felt such warmth from the patient coordinator, the nurses, doctor's assistants, anesthesiologist, everyone was so kind and friendly; I never felt neglected nor alone. My pre-op testing went smoothly and surgery as well, I have not experienced any major complication; I did however, experience nausea in the hours right after surgery; and I was very thirsty; other than that, only a little discomfort which I was told it was to be expected.
Dr. Lopez is very nice, attentive and in my experience an amazing doctor.

Dr. Alejandro came highly recommended by a relative who had her surgery done in Puerto Vallarta; I was so confident about his skills having seen the results firs hand; however had to overcome a lot of personal fears and make the trip on my own which was scary at first. Let me tell you, once you’re greeted by Dr. Lopez’s staff all is good. I felt just like when I visit a relative; everybody is so friendly and attentive. Such professionals. Dr. Alejandro was so thorough, he came and talked to me before surgery, and a couple more times after to check on me; we chatted a bit, very respectful and knowledgeable. I will be forever grateful.

After surgery I had minor discomfort and felt a bit dizzy; however, never had any pain nor any complications. I just wished I could have stayed a bit more on vacation; Puerto Vallarta is beautiful.

Having the courage to change my life and improve my overall health was difficult; following the Doctors orders has almost been a breeze just by experiencing such positive results; it feels great to go down dress sizes! One does get a new take on life; I’m so motivated to achieve my desired weight goals and keeping the weight off.

I had such wonderful experience traveling to Tijuana all the way from Vancouver for my Gastric Sleeve Surgery with Dr. Alejandro Lopez-Ortega; I'm currently two weeks post op; ready to go back to work and feeling great.

I was very nervous about the whole journey; starting with traveling abroad, not knowing how to speak Spanish, surgery, etc.
I am just awestruck with the quality of services provided and the level of professionalism from everyone on the staff to the medical team and of course, the surgeons. I felt pampered and cared for at all times; such warmth and friendly team.

I'm very grateful for how committed everyone is with their jobs, I had no complications nor pain after surgery; I've been experiencing the results so far and couldn't be happier. Dr. Alejandro Lopez is such a professional, very experienced and so patient. Best Dr. ever!
