Mexico Bariatric Center's Surgeon, Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela Boasts No Complications, Incidents for 2014

January 3, 2015 - Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela, a metabolic and bariatric surgeon, boasts no complications, deaths or major incidents for her weight loss surgery patients for 2014. Dr. Valenzuela works for Mexico Bariatric Center (MBC), the #1 provider of bariatric medical tourism in Mexico.

While the average complications rates for gastric sleeve surgery are: Death 0.19%, Stenosis 0.6%, Bleeding 1.2%, and Leaks 2.2%, Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela, had zero (0%) incidents in 2014.

While Dr. Valenzuela overwhelmingly practices gastric sleeve, she also performs gastric bypass, mini-gastric bypass and duodenal switch - all of which, tend to have higher complication rates than gastric sleeve. Dr. Valenzuela provides one of the best records in Mexico. Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela's work ethic and MBC safety provisions are two, of many reasons why MBC is leading the medical tourism revolution.

"All surgeries, major or minor, inherently carry risks. But we are proud to see Dr. Valenzuela's team experience no complications for over a year," explains Ron Elli, Ph.D., the founder of Mexico Bariatric Center.
