Hace dos años comenzó mi búsqueda por un buen médico y equipo que me pudiera ayudar a recuperar mi salud. Un día en Instagram me topé con la cuenta de la Dra. Pompa y comencé a aprender sobre ella, su carrera y su práctica. Entre más aprendía más me convencía de que ella era mi doctora y con ella me tenía que operar.
Asi pasó el tiempo y el año pasado una muy buena amiga mía me dice que se quiere operar que le recomendaron a una cirujana muy buena, y cuando le preguntó el nombre que me dice, “la Dra. Pompa”. En ese momento supe que no era coincidencia y que mi tiempo para cambiar mi vida había llegado.
Al siguiente día puse cita para mi amiga y yo y hoy llegamos a casa después de nuestra cirugía. Lo único que puedo decir es que con los ojos cerrados me vuelvo a operar con La Dra. Pompa y a poner en manos de su equipo. El apoyó que e recibido es indescriptible. Yo me siento realmente feliz de estar bajo el cuidado de la Dra. Pompa y se la recomiendo a todo el mundo entero!!!!
Mil gracias por todo al equipo y a la Dra. Pompa! Y ya saben, pongan cita, no se van a arrepentir!

Prior to 2020 I was heavy, exhausted, sore and miserable! I smiled Daily thinking I was happy and loving my life. Fast forward to July 2020 I am 85lbs down, with 35 more to hit my goal. Surgery was 2/27/2020 with doctor Lopez here at LIMARP! I can’t scream more praises for the success I have had since surgery day! Every single step of the way was incredible. The entire crew and staff has gone above my expectations and still keep in contact to today. I’ve actually reached out to schedule my next step which is plastic surgery 2/2021 also with LIMARP!!!

Don't use them. I only lost 5 lbs from the surgery, and now have to have surgery for 2 large hernias caused by Limarp's surgery. Huge mistake! Their facility was empty. There was only 1 other patient when I went there, which was a year ago. Some of the support staff appeared to have been just recruited, with little knowledge of how to administer medicine. Save yourself from a bad experience. When I explained my concern to the online "support" group, the nasty nutritionist erased my comments. She was horrible. If I knew how to sue the Mexican Dr for malpractice I would.

I came to LIMARP after successfully losing 40lbs through clean eating & exercise for breast augmentation because it was something I had always wanted done.. everything started with a simple phone call and the rest was easy. I cannot express in words how awesome the doctors & staff members are at LIMARP. I'd choose LIMARP again and it was the best decision I had ever made. Thank you is inadequate for what you have done for me! But thank you so much nonetheless!!
