David had struggled with his weight for most of his adult life, and a type 2 diabetes diagnosis finally pushed him to seriously consider bariatric surgery. Facing a long wait and high out-of-pocket cost in Denver, he found Dr. Carlos Méndez through ElectiveCare -- a bariatric surgeon in Monterrey with thousands of gastric sleeve procedures behind him.
Dr. Méndez took David through a full pre-op workup, including nutritional counseling, before confirming he was a good candidate. The surgery itself went smoothly, and David spent his first days of recovery at a hotel near the hospital before flying home to continue healing under his own doctor's supervision, staying in touch with Dr. Méndez's team along the way.
A year later, David has lost 110 pounds and his diabetes is in remission -- a result he credits equally to the surgery and the follow-up support that continued long after he left Mexico. He says the medical care was excellent from the first consultation to his most recent check-in.
