Choosing to have bariatric surgery was a big decision, I was nervous about traveling to another country for it. After my experience with Do It Bariatrics and Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made — not just for my health, but for the overall care, comfort, and professionalism I received from beginning to end.
From the moment I landed at the San Diego Airport, I knew I was in good hands. A luxury car was already waiting for me, and the driver greeted me warmly, making me feel safe and valued right away. That level of VIP service set the tone for the entire trip. Every detail was coordinated with care, and I never once felt confused, rushed, or alone.
When I arrived at the hospital, I was immediately impressed. It was modern, spotless, and felt more like a private medical center than a typical hospital environment. The staff was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. They explained every step clearly, checked on me consistently, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my pre-op preparations. Even small details — warm blankets, gentle nurses, and a peaceful atmosphere — helped calm my nerves.
Meeting Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela was one of the highlights of the entire process. She has a presence that instantly reassures you. She’s warm, confident, extremely knowledgeable, and takes time to answer questions without ever making you feel rushed. I could tell immediately she has done thousands of these surgeries and truly cares about her patients as individuals, not just cases. That alone helped take away so much of my anxiety.
After surgery, the care didn’t stop. The post-op nurses were attentive and compassionate, and everything was monitored carefully. Once I was cleared to leave the hospital, I was taken to a beautiful, comfortable hotel that felt nothing like “medical travel.” The room was clean and spacious, the staff was welcoming, and the environment made it easy to rest and recover. Again, transportation and check-ins were all taken care of for me — I didn’t have to think about anything except healing.
What stood out most throughout the whole experience was the personalized service. Do It Bariatrics handled every detail with so much organization and professionalism that I felt like their only patient. Every message, every ride, every instruction — it was all thoughtful, timely, and supportive. That level of care is rare.
I’m now home, feeling great, and incredibly grateful. If you’re considering bariatric surgery and feel hesitant about traveling, let my experience be your reassurance: Do It Bariatrics and Dr. Valenzuela deliver world-class care with kindness, expertise, and truly VIP service. I recommend them wholeheartedly.
