Hello and welcome!
I’m so proud to officially launch my personal website — a trusted, direct space where you can learn more about me, the weight loss procedures I perform, and how to begin your journey toward a healthier life with the right information and support.
For those of you who don’t know me yet, I’m a board-certified bariatric surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Over the past decade, I’ve had the honor of helping more than 10,000 patients from around the world reclaim their health and confidence through bariatric surgery. Whether you're exploring Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, Mini Gastric Bypass, or need a Revision Surgery, you're in the right place.
This website, along with my company Do It Bariatrics, is the only official channel to book surgery with me. While I was previously affiliated with other companies, those partnerships have ended. Please be aware that some unauthorized websites and groups may falsely use my name or photos — these are not endorsed by me and can be misleading. For your safety and peace of mind, always confirm you are communicating through this site or Do It Bariatrics directly.
Through this blog, I’ll be sharing insights, updates, and educational articles covering a wide range of topics, including:
- Understanding different bariatric surgery options
- How to prepare before and after surgery
- Nutrition and long-term success tips
- Patient stories and transformations
- Safety, transparency, and what to expect when traveling to Mexico for surgery
My goal is to provide clear, honest, and empowering information — not only for patients preparing for surgery but for anyone who’s curious or seeking support.
Thank you for being here. Whether you’re just starting your research or you’re ready to take the next step, I hope this blog becomes a helpful and inspiring resource for you.
With gratitude,
Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela, MD, FACS
Founder, Do It Bariatrics
