Valenzuela’s Weight Loss Story 

After her second child was born, Louisiana Valenzuela was not happy with the weight gain. She tried diet and exercise and still was not successful long-term to keep the weight off. Dr. Valenzuela decided to use the same tool that she had given patients since 2009 and ultimately changed her life for the better.

Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela has had her own gastric sleeve surgery in 2016 with Dr. Alejandro Gutierrez from Mexico Bariatric Center® (MBC). Dr. V has found great success from undergoing the sleeve gastrectomy. It has built a bond between her and her patients that not many surgeons can offer. She understands what it’s like to be a bariatric patient and a surgeon. This offers a full-circle approach to her patients.
