“A little about how I got to Tijuana, Mexico for weight loss surgery: I had tried for years to lose weight “on my own” – everything from working with trainers and nutritionists, to diet pills and medically supervised weight loss programs! Due to my PCOS and hormone imbalance (and not making the best food choices), I was unable to lose weight and keep it off. I decided it was time to consider weight loss surgery and after LOTS of research, I chose Dr Zavalza as my surgeon. From my very first contact with the coordinator, Irene, I knew I made a great decision. After speaking directly with Dr Z via video chat, that was even more solidified. Every member of the Go Light Team that I have encountered has been helpful, kind, caring, and trustworthy! Even almost 2 years later I know that if I need anything, I can contact them and they will answer questions and support me in any way that they can. I recommend them to everyone and several of my friends have gone to see Dr Zavalza for their very own WLS as well! 

I’m 5’0, I was 31 years old on the day of my VSG – May 28, 2018. 

I was approximately 230 pounds at my heaviest. I weighed in at 205 on the day of surgery, and I have been maintaining at around 115 pounds since 10 months post op! 

Dr Zavalza and his team gave me a plan and the tools necessary to succeed in losing weight and keep it off, and I couldn’t be more thankful! “
