"I am a Registered Nurse with many years of Emergency Nursing and over a decade in preventative medicine. I researched Bariatric Surgeries, attended seminars and international Bariatric seminars. I knew that I wanted the DS/BPD surgery because I had just recently been diagnosed with Type Two Diabetes. I had a history of Asthma, GERD, Sleep Apnea, High BP, Urinary Incontinence and morbid obesity. I was ok'd for Roux en Y surgery, but research indicated a lower weight loss statistic as well as a higher chance of weight gain. I had two acquaintances including a physician friend who had Roux en Y surgery and gained back most of their weight. I tried for several years to get ok'd for DS/ BPD. Finally after becoming seriously ill, I retired from nursing and used my retirement money to seek out my own answer to my dilemma. Through Medical Tourism, I found Dr. Casteneda. He is the epitome of a well trained professional. Dr. Casteneda and the staff at Medical Tourism and at the Hospital in Puerta Vallarta were absolute professionals with high standards and exceptional skills. My surgery was in late January 2015. I am down 100 lbs, no Diabetes, normal BP, no Asthma, no sleep Apnea, no incontinence of urine, no GERD. I am ecstatic. I cannot thank Dr. Casteneda and the hospital staff for their care and consideration as well as their expertise."
"Tastes great. Stays down without difficulty. An easy and pleasant way to get protein on board. I sometimes use this to make a protein shake, adding berries and blending.

"Dr. Castenada Cruz performed DS on me at the end of January 2015. He was wonderful, His associate physicians were wonderful, Hospital was great . Staff were extremely professional and superbly competent. I am an Emergency Room Nurse and can only say this was one of the best hospital experiences of my life. Absolutely no complications. I am now down 85 pounds and heading toward my goal. I highly recommend Dr Castaneda Cruz and the entire staff."
