Dr. Ceja Patient Reviews

I had Mini Gastric Bypass with Dr. Ceja on October 10th, 2024. The entire process, from planning and scheduling to discharge was a breeze. The patient coordinators, nutritionist, hospital staff, hotel liaison, and drivers were all incredibly kind, knowledgeable, helpful, generous and very competent. My companion and I felt completely safe and cared for at all times, and I cannot recommend MBC enough.

Could not recommend MBC enough! The lovely nurses and coordination staff, the cleanliness of the rooms, the efficient surgery, and the ease of my recovery are all testament to the amazing job they do. I’m almost half the size I was when I had my gastric sleeve and am lighter than I was at high school. Dr. Ceja and MBC have changed my life!

I tried to get the sleeve done last year but I chickened out. I finally got it done this year and the entire experience has been amazing. The staff is very kind and Dr. Ceja did an amazing job. No leaks found the next day clear to go home. The hospital is nicer than most hospitals in the US and not once did I feel unsafe the building is very secure. Make sure you take small sips when you’re cleared and don’t over do it. I also wanted to say how thankful I am Dr. Ceja did a great job.

Beautiful, clean, hospital. Very little postoperative pain (gastric sleeve). I am 50 yrs old. I was up and walking same day. Dr. Jesus Ceja is an amazing surgeon! Nurses are very attentive and caring 5 stars isn’t enough. I give them 500 stars. I highly recommend, don’t wait!
