Fantastic Experience with the Weight Loss Team.

I had my gastric sleeve surgery with this amazing team, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, everyone was absolutely fantastic — friendly, professional, and attentive. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and I felt completely supported throughout the process.

I only stayed in the hospital overnight and was able to continue my vacation the very next day with no ill effects — the only thing I missed was swimming in the pool! I’ve had zero pain since leaving the hospital and haven’t needed any pain medication at all. No gas pains, no stomach discomfort, and I’ve had great energy from day one. I can walk and sleep easily and feel amazing.

For reference, my start weight was 195 lbs, surgery weight 182 lbs, and just 7 days post-op I’m already down to 175 lbs. I’m a 5'4" female and could not be more thrilled with my results and how smooth my recovery has been.

Thank you to the entire team for making this such a positive, life-changing experience!

Exceptional care with Dr. Para, Gerald, and the Weight Loss Team! 🤗 I'm beyond grateful for their caring, understanding, and guiding approach throughout my journey. Dr. Para personally heard all my concerns, addressed each one thoroughly, and ensured clear communication and understanding at every step—before, during, and after my SASI procedure. His amazing dedication and expertise made my weight loss surgery experience incredibly smooth and supported. 💖 100% recommend Dr. Para and his team to anyone considering weight loss surgery. They truly are the best in making you feel heard, cared for, and confidently guided towards your health goals! 👍 Thank you Dr Para & Gerald!!

I had an excellent experience with The Weightloss Team in Puerto Vallarta. We were greeted by Eric at the airport and transported to our hotel. Eric also picked us up at the hotel and transported us to-and-from the hospital. We met with Gerald at the hotel to go over expectations and discuss how to be successful using surgery as a tool, a lifestyle change. Dr. Ochoa Del Toro did our preop exam and was quite pleasant. Dr. Parra and Dr. Paredes met with us prior to surgery to explain how things are expected to go, great bedside manner! I highly recommend this group to anyone.

So thankful with the weight loss team at Puerto Vallarta, I had my surgery on April 15th and everything went well, so happy and excited.

Litocha S.

My husband had the bariatric sleeve surgery and step one to the last step in the whole journey was made easy by Gerald, the liaison. We got to meet the surgical team prior to the procedure which helped to keep us informed and comfortable. The whole experience was top notch! If anyone is considering this surgery, I highly recommend the CMQ team in Puerto Vallarta!

If anyone goes to Puerto Vallarta MX for surgery or vacation, Erik Lu is your man for all your Uber driving needs!

Jacqui J.

Best decision I've made. If you've been waiting to lose the weight for good and feel so much better, dont wait any longer!!The entire weight loss team and Dr. Parra were so helpful, professional, and caring. While the first few days were difficult, they made it virtually pain free and I'm only 1 week out and already have dropped 13.4 lbs. My goal is 90 total. But better than just the weight loss so far, I have energy that I've not felt in years. Also I was up and moving around hours after the surgery and feel fantastic. Just do it, you won't regret it. Gerald is a fantastic team member who walks you through the process and they have everything taken care of that you need. I'm recommending to all my friends and family who struggle to lose and keep the weight off. In 6 months, I'll post before and after pics so you can see my amazing transformation happen!

Claire A.

Great decision. Services were perfect. Thank you Dr. Parra and the team and a shout out to CMQ hospital staff. Everyone was so nice.

Julie M.

Dr. Parra, Gerald, and the whole weight loss team are great! I really enjoyed my time in Mexico. The hotel and hospital were great. This was the best choice I have made for my health. I’m 2 months post surgery and already down 32 pounds! The team and whole experience is wonderful. I would recommend them to all my family and friends that are interested in weight loss surgery.

Manolo V.

They are the best, I am truly very grateful to the great team, very professional, I thank them with all my heart for being part of this great change, without a doubt I highly recommend them since their experience and kindness is unmatched

Jill R.

I had a very easy and wonderful experience. Dr. Parra and the weight loss team made everything quite effortless.

Del P.

Thank you so much to the CMQ Bariatric staff and doctors for all of their great efforts for my wife and my surgery’s and experience! We felt at ease all along the way from the airport onward.
They take very good care of you so you have nothing to worry about!

I would highly recommend this facility and Team for your Bariatric needs!

Jamie D.

It was great, smooth process, very clean.

M. Collins

I'm about 10 days out from sleeve surgery with Dr. Parra and Weight Loss Team. I'm feeling great! I really appreciate how organized they are - it was so nice to not have to worry about any logistics. I just let Gerald handle booking my hotel and transportation and everything went smoothly! Highly recommend.

Heather C.

I was terrified about having surgery for the first time ever and especially WLS. Gerald was very informative and always answered all my questions. The hospital and surgical team were very supportive, friendly and kind. I am from the US and I can honestly say this was the best treatment and service I have every received. The facility was not only clean, it is beautiful too! Their is a nice veranda to get your walking in after surgery . The nurses and all hospital staff were courteous, caring and well organized. I was very impressed. Dr Jovanny knew how nervous I was while taking me back for surgery and kept rubbing my pinky to console me. Such a sweet gesture and great bedside manner from all! Dr Parra was very thorough in explaining pre and post surgery questions and the procedure. I would do this again in a heartbeat!! Thank you WLT !!!

Dakota D.

Overall the experience with CMQ hospital staff was amazing, from my arrival until my departure, I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with, I'm looking forward to starting this new chapter of my life and owe a great thanks to Dr. Parra and the rest of the incredible staff at CMQ.

Lauren K.

I have to give the whole weight lose team 5 stars. Each member of the team (doctors and Gerald)came in and individually met with me and spoke with me personally. I was very nervous and anxious and they put me at ease. Before the
Surgery Gerald was very prompt at answering my questions, and any concerns that I had. My after care was phenomenal. The nurses were great and went above and beyond my needs. I highly recommend the weight loss team. If you’re considering weight loss surgery the weight loss team is the best around.

Nicole P.

So glad my husband decided to do this journey with Dr. Parra and the weight loss team. Everyone involved was very helpful and Dr. Parra made sure he was comfortable and ready before he even started. Can’t wait to go back and start my journey next year.

Nadia A.

Son lo máximo, un equipo bellísimo! Me hicieron sentir en las mejores manos, todo el trato médico y del personal fue de primera! Me siento feliz que después de ir con dos médicos anteriores caí en las mejores manos. Gracias por todo!

Maze

I cannot say enough good things about Weight Loss Team, Gerald Witt, and Dr. Parra. From the moment that I decided that I needed to have my revision surgery done, Weight Loss Team was right there for me to answer all questions. I, ultimately, went on this journey as a solo traveler but the team took such phenomenal care of me before, during, and after my surgery. If you are considering bariatric surgery as a first time patient or to have a revision done, stop searching and choose Weight Loss Team, Gerald Witt, and Dr. Parra right now. There is no better than this team.

Katherine C.

Terrific people, amazing facilities, life-changing surgery...all in paradise. If you're considering weight-loss surgery, look no further. Weight Loss Team has everything you need. Take the plunge and contact Gerald. You won't regret it!

Clara P.

Great professionals! No complications after surgery at all...In a couple of days I felt back to my normal self and my new stomach did not give me any trouble whatsoever since day one. No acid reflux or nausea...no pain, no problems swallowing or holding food down (this was my biggest worry before surgery seeing some horror stories online).

In PVR they made the perfect pouch for me! I am 12days post-op. Besides following my diet, eating small portions (I can't fit no more in there😁), and a few tiny scars on my tummy, noone around me would never guess that I just went through such a big surgery!
So far I am a living proof of how good Dr. Parra and his team are!

First I was very sceptical about having surgery done in Mexico but now I feel very blessed that I was taken care of Puerto Vallarta's team! They toke a great care of me since I stepped out of the plane until the last minute of my stay

Marshall D.

I really encourage you guys to come here for all your weight loss needs… doctors was knowledgeable they were encouraging and excellent at performing the surgery.. I remember talking then waking up and they saying I’m done lol… my post op has been amazing little to no pain whatsoever.. 10/10 performance… your time there is gonna be amazing beach walks, great views, clean hotel stay, and driver for all your needs to and from the airport and in between check up

Jim M.

Amazing customer service with Gerald and an easy process. They give you tons of information up front, help decide the best path, then really support you in getting ready. The actual surgeon, Dr Parra talks to you before and after and is there to answer any question. I highly recommend them!

Deela M.

Things went very well. I let my blood sugar go to low so I was sick for a few days. Hospital was amazing. Weight loss team may we feel safe and comfortable

Laura I.

My 2 boys daughter husband daughter in law and my grandson all made the trip from the US to Puerto Vallarta. We rented an Airbnb. Not only is the area breathtakingly beautiful, from start to end the experience and professionalism of the entire experience was flawless. We were picked up at the airport by Erik who is bubbly and knowledgeable taken to our home away from home. Gerald was in touch from the get go, we were transported to the hospital, always ahead of schedule. The staff, nurses and physicians were amazing! Dr Parra spoke to us and put us all at ease. His bedside manner is second to none. The staff was awesome they were there quickly anytime I had to call for them. As far as the procedure, it’s surgery to say it was painless would be crazy, I’d say more like uncomfortable. But they all made sure I was well taken care of. I highly recommend CMQ Dr Parra and his staff. I am excited to see where this new body will take me from here on out.

Crystal S.

The team and hospital staff were amazing, and knowledgeable. The hospital was cleaner then some of the hospitals in Canada. 4 days after surgery and 2 of my sutures are healed not leaking any liquid and the others are not far behind. The support has been fantastic!

Laurie E.

Highly recommend using the Weight Loss Team in Puerto Vallarta. I never felt unsafe. From a very caring/clean hospital experience, the sunshine and ocean, hardly any pain, capable surgeon & staff, and most of all, to the personalized attention. Special shout out to surgery coordinator, Gerald Witt, for speedy replies to all my surgery needs before and after. He made the trip/procedure seamless. Less than a month after surgery, and I have already lost twenty pounds! Looking forward to a healthier life!

Ray J.

Dr. Parra, Gerald, and the rest of the Weight Loss Team did a fantastic job from start to finish. Based on my overall experience, I would definitely recommend their team for VSG and any of the surgeries they perform. They even diagnosed and fixed a hernia that would have had dire consequences. This should have been diagnosed and fixed years ago by our great "Canadian Health Care" program, who could definitely take some pointers from this outstanding team. I can't thank you enough!!

Cecilia P.

I will recommend anybody and everybody to come here. I had such a great experience with great staff members, nurses, doctors, etc.. I had a really really great experience if I had to do it all over again I would do it again with the weight loss team in Puerto Vallarta.

Kiarra J.

Dr. Parra and his team were amazing. Helped me through the whole process and has genuinely been a great experience!

Josh B.

I am really happy with my experience with the Weight Loss team and Dr. Parra. Everything went perfectly and I would highly recommend.

K. Penney

Dr. Parra was first class! He was kind and respectful. I felt totally safe and there was no doubt I was in extremely capable hands. I definitely recommend The Weight Loss Team at Puerta Vallarta! If your on the fence, do yourself a favor and make the best decision for your health!

Thomas N.

This was an amazing experience all top notch from start to finish!!! 1 week after surgery I feel great and would recommend to anyone!! Gerald, Dr Para and the team are fantastic!!

Tammy W.

If you are thinking about weight loss surgery .I recommend Dr Para at The Weight Loss Team in Puerto Vallarta. I was awake 2 hours after surgery and was ready to get up and walk. I had very little pain and 4 tiny incisions. The Care I received from Dr Para the nurses and the whole weight loss team was amazing. If you want real change in the New Year. Don’t put it off any longer. Reach out to Gerald Witt he will arrange everything. Trust me it is well worth it. I even meet a great surgery buddy and his wife
I know we are going to be life long friends.

Dana G.

op notch care under Dr Parra!
Professional, skilled, and caring. Explains everything in detail. I'm definitely happy with the care and treatment I had with Dr Parra and the whole staff of CMQ!

Joy D.

I have to dedicate a separate review entirely to Gerald Whitt because he is the reason I chose Weight Loss Group for my GSL revision correction. Gerald is so committed to helping one understand their health needs and knowing exactly how to deliver the physical facts of surgery combine with true emotional awareness and support. His genuine commitment to helping you become healthy and knowing all the psychological effects of having surgery made the difference in choosing what clinic and Doctor to work with. I felt prepared and cared for pre op-op- and most importantly continued post op support. His commitment to serving this sensitive medical choice is extraordinary! Thank you always.

Joy D.

Dr. Parra was exactly all the things you need during A GSL revision surgery. He is super involved with your personal health information knowing your medical history and his confident, calm communication style puts your mind at ease. I had almost no pain at all and needed very little pain management post op. After the surgery I received a mini video clip of the actual surgery and Dr. Parra explained the surgical process including the correction to a prior GSL surgery not done through Gerald Whitt Weightloss Team. Dr. Parra explained the fix to my previous pouch and the new revision procedure which was very comforting that I know how much weigh loss success I can expect with following the post op diet. I would only refer Dr. Parra from the Weightloss Team after having experienced an unsuccessful GSL first at another bariatric clinic. The video of the surgical procedure creates an ethical transparency that is worth everything! Thank you Dr. Parra for you excellence.

Javier C.

Everything was very well planned and organized. I was treated very well before and after surgery. I would recommend to everyone. The hospital, hotel, transportation , had a 5star rating as well. I would have liked to stay longer.
