I want to share my experience with the incredible Dr. Rodrigo Prieto and his team who supported me throughout this process. From the first contact, the care was impeccable, and they were always willing to answer my questions. Throughout the entire process, including the evaluation, surgery, and follow-up, I felt supported, safe, and in the hands of committed professionals. The surgery was a success, and the results have exceeded my expectations, not only in terms of weight, but also in terms of my quality of life, health, and overall well-being. I am deeply grateful.

My surgery was a year and two months ago, and there isn't a day I can't thank Dr. Rodrigo for the wonderful work he did, and my God, everything went so well. I don't know if he's the best doctor, but for me, he's super professional and very clear when explaining things. I've lost 32 kilos and I'm so happy he changed my life.
I traveled from Virginia to Guadalajara in 2020 and had the privilege of having surgery and meeting Dr. Rodrigo. It was the best decision of my life. I feel more energetic, more confident, and motivated to go to the gym and gain muscle after losing 54 kilos with my gastric sleeve! It was the best decision I've ever made.

It changed my life, completely improved my health, and made me feel much better for having made the best decision of my life. The gastric sleeve is my starting point for the change I've experienced. I am so grateful to Dr. Rodrigo and his entire team for all the support they gave me in achieving this great success.
My experience with Dr. Rodrigo Prieto has been exceptional! There are no words to describe his professionalism, seriousness, but above all, his warmth as a human being. From the first consultation, he inspired so much confidence in me that from the first few minutes, I confirmed that I wanted to start my process in his hands. A year and a half after my gastric sleeve, we are still receiving close follow-up; neither he nor his team leave you alone! I have been supported the entire time. I have lost 57 kilos since the beginning of this process, but the most important thing is that I have regained my health and mobility! I no longer have diabetes and my thyroid is…
