Why Patient
Testimonials Matter?

Choosing bariatric surgery is a life-changing decision. Hearing directly from patients who have already completed the process can help answer questions, reduce uncertainty, and provide realistic expectations about surgery, recovery, and long-term success.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

“I had the VSG surgery done by Dr. Hidalgo Nov 22nd. The entire weight loss team and Dr. Hidalgo were fantastic at giving me crazy amounts of information and were very quick at answering any questions. 3 Months after the surgery my blood pressure was normal, and I was off of the high blood pressure pills. By the end of month 5 my diabetes was GONE! No more pills for that. I am at month seven, and have lost 118 lbs. I feel great. Thanks all.“

“Tuve mi cirugía de Banda Gástrica con el Dr. Hidalgo el 22 de Noviembre. El equipo completo de Weight Loss Team y el Dr. Hidalgo fueron fantásticos conmigo, me dieron mucha información y resolvieron todas mis dudas de una manera muy rápida. 3 meses después de la cirugía mi presión se normalizó por lo que no necesito más pastillas para la presión. Al final del quinto mes ¡mi diabetes se fue! No más pastillas para la diabetes. Estoy en el mes 7, he perdido 53 kilos y me siento genial. ¡Gracias a todos!”

As I started my journey to weight loss surgery, the communication was amazing; the staff handled every part of the travel for me and made sure I was very comfortable. All the questions I had were answered really fast from the beginning. As I arrived in San Diego, our driver was already where we needed to be picked up for transport across the border.

I had a gastric sleeve performed by Dr. Hidalgo, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Even in the short time since my surgery, I already feel so much better both physically and emotionally. Dr. Hidalgo is truly skilled and compassionate, and I want to extend my deepest thanks not only to him but to the entire team at Hidalgo Bariatrics.

★★★★★

Recently had bariatric surgery with Dr Hidalgo. From start to finish, it was one of the easiest procedures.

They not only have a great driver who picks from the airport, but the staff also assisted me with details about what to eat and what meds not to take before surgery, but also sat with me through the whole process!
