I had surgery 7/10/2017 and was referred to Dr Cabrera & Mexico Bariatric Center by a friend. I have lost 70 lbs so far & couldn't be happier. I met Dr. Cabrera just briefly prior to my surgery but he was very kind and caring, offering to answer any questions I had and assuring me all would go well. My surgery went extremely well, I had no complications and little to no actual pain. I was checked on several times a day by the hospital co-ordinator, she was also very kind & answered all my questions. Also I can't say enough about the nursing staff who were phenomenal and checked on me what seemed like hourly at first & anticipated everything I needed. I felt extremely well taken care of by the entire Mi Hospital and MBC staff. I had an amazing experience & have already referred several other people to Dr.Cabrera and Mexico Bariatric Center. I cannot thank them enough for helping me do what I could not here in the U.S. and for helping me get my quality of life back. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Dr Cabrera was a wonderful surgeon and had the best bedside manner of any surgeon I’ve ever met.
He spoke with me for quite some time before and after surgery to make sure I was feeling ok. I travelled quite a long way and by myself which the doctor was shocked when he learned I was alone. He was very kind and made me feel reassured and said they’re there with me and will take good care of me.
I honestly couldn’t have had a better experience and I’m so happy I made the decision to go with Dr Cabrera! I could not recommend him more highly!!

Took a year of research and a friend had recommended Dr.Ismael Cabrera, scheduled my surgery May 1, 2017 with Dr. Cabrera, he was so nice and took time to chat with me before surgery, he was absolutely the most caring surgeon I know. No complications and 90 pounds loss from gastric sleeve. Very skilled in his field.

I had a mini gastric bypass on 1/5/17! Dr. Cabrera and his assistant were amazing with great bedside manners. I am down almost 70 lbs but even more important is that I am no longer considered diabetic and I no longer have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Being a US nurse I can say they do he same things pre and post surgery as they would here in the US. However, I saw Dr. Cabrera and/or his assistant Dr atleast 3 times daily and more if needed! I went alone and did well. Highly recommend to anyone who needs help!! Thank you Dr. Cabrera and team!!

I first meet Dr Cabrera at a seminar in Houston, Tx in 2015. We talked and he was really concerned about what surgery was best for me! We chose the sleeve, least invasive and best results for my lifestyle. I had surgery on 08/04/2015 in Tijuana. Amazing staff and hospital! I went alone but never felt alone! Someone was always there to check on me. Here I am a year and 1/2 out.. working on my last 35lbs to lose! I honestly didn't know if this would work! but again here I am 122 lbs down!!! Thank you Dr. Cabrera for giving me an amazing tool to work with!! If asked would I do it again knowing what I do?? YES!!!!!!! If you are on the fence about surgery.... LEAP off that fence!!! Just do it!!

I had hernia repair and a gi sleeve surgery in February 2016. It was the best thing I ever did. Dr. Cabrera was my surgeon. I would suggest taking probiotics before and after. I did get C-different from taking antibiotics.

My surgery was 3/10/16. I weighed 255 and am now down to 177, and still dropping. Dr. C also repaired a hernia, and immediately I felt the difference. This was one of my best life decisions, and I am thankful each day. Not only did I not have any bad effects, some tests done showed some medical things that needed attention. 3 months after my return home I had a thumb sized tumor removed from a parathyroid glands, blood tests done in Mexico alerted me to the abnormal results, so that improved my overall health too. Dr. C was very kind, and I felt his entire attention directed toward me. Thank you so very much ! I am a new woman.

Absolutely amazing. I had a revision to sleeve and gallbladder removal all in one surgery. Very rough next day because of the complex surgery but they took wonderful care of me and checked on me constantly even after I left the hospital (had a slight fever after and just pain due to a high tolerance to pain meds and refusal to ask for more)

Dr V was my doctor but dr C checked on my the following few days. Amazing man

Dr. Cabrera and his team were very professional. Mi Doctor is an older facility but extremely clean and comfortable. My surgery was completed on 7/21/2016. I have had no complications or issues. My starting weight was 236 lbs and I am now at 192. I can eat pretty much anything I want, have not suffered from acid reflex or the excessive tiredness that others have experienced. This tool has helped me reduce my blood pressure so I no longer need medication. It is not a magic bullet. I go to workout at a gym at least five days a week and sometimes seven. I watch my caloric and nutrient intake and am losing slowly. I have to make good choices because I can eat so little. I am thankful for the opportunity to recommend Dr. Cabrera to anyone who wants help to change their lives forever. Thank you Dr. Cabrera.
