South Texas Lap-Band Bariatric Center




I would not recommend anyone else for bariatric surgery but Dr. Mario Del Pino. He is a wonderful physician who genuinely cares for his patients. I not only work as an RN taking care of his surgical patients but I myself have had my own surgical procedure done by him. My gastric sleeve has transformed my life; actually it has given me life! I owe this to him, he has enhanced my health, confidence, and over all well being. I have had not one complication and the scarring is barely there. He has the brains and hands to perform such a life altering surgery. You will not be disappointed. His complete office staff is wonderful! They all care, and take the time to make you feel comfortable and at ease. If I had to do it all again I wouldn’t change a thing, and definitely not my surgeon!!! I highly recommend Dr. Mario Del Pino!!!

i had bypass done with dr delpino 3 years ago. he is an excellent dr. if it wouldnt be for him my life would be different than what it is now. I thank GOD and his marvilous hands that he has, i have been able to have the life i have now. i have lost 120 pounds with in the 3 years. And with any bariatric surgery, it changes peoples life in many ways like it did to mine. I would really recommend Dr Delpino to anybody that is interested in Bariatric Surgery. You will have a wonderful experience letting Dr Del Pino work on you. I recommend any body that is morbid obese, to have Bariatric Surgery because Dr Delpino does miracles!!! ANd GOD keep Blessing him

I am very very happy with the surgery that Dr. Del Pino performed on me. It has been a very huge success and has improved my health since it was done. It has been two years since it was done. I am no longer a diabetic. I don't take any insulin nor pills since the surgery. The sleep apnea, asthma, and congestive heart failure has improved tremendously. I personally recommend Dr. Del Pino for all your weight loss needs. If anyone is interested in an before and after picture, please e-mail me at [email protected] or inbox me on facebook at [email protected].

Dr. Del Pino was very informative and detail oriented when it came to explaining the surgery to me. I understood what was up ahead for me before I underwent surgery. He also willingly answered any questions I had and took the time to offer any relevant information. I had the surgery 2 weeks ago and have healed relatively well. I am also happy to report that I have lost 20lbs 2 weeks after lap band surgery and am excited about how much more I will lose in the future. I highly recommend Dr. Del Pino.

After going to several seminars and consulting with other doctors I decided that Dr. Del Pino was the way to go. Not only is he knowlegable and kind but his staff is extremely supportive and engouraging. I had the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on June 13, 2012 at Mission Regional Medical Center. I am now 2 weeks post-op and have lost over 30 pounds. I am happy and excited to see what the future holds for me. Thank you Dr. Del Pino and staff at Surgeons of South Texas for making this journey both exciting and pleasant for me. I recommend this Dr. to anyone out there who is looking to have bariatric surgery.
