One of May favorite places too. Spent many a night there.

Contact Bill@bariatricpal.com. It was the easiest thing I have ever done medically. I am having surgery this Thursday July 28 revising a sleeve to mini gastric bypass. The MX team will pick me up in San Diego and drive me across to TJ. I will have surgery in a hospital and be there 3 days. Then I will move to a recovery condo for 2 days, with nurses and doctors checking on me. I will have 2 leak tests before I leave. Dr. Illan is my surgeon and just got back from a conference with Dr. Rutledge the surgeon that started the MGB. I was sent a questionnaire to start with but it was not very long. They have 2 years nutritional support and the surgeon has a Facebook page you can post anytime. I am super excited and have had many friends go with this group.

I had reflux before VGS it became unbearable after. I am going to a bypass to get rid of this agony.

I love the Premier banana flavor. I love anything banana.

Bariatric Pal has medical tourism packages for Tijuana MX. Contact bill@bariatricpal.com and he can go go over all the options. My revision from sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass costs $5399 plus my airfare.

Hope you recovery easily and without pain.

Did your PCP say if you go to MX they would not be your doctor? That is very narrow minded and I would sure be looking for a new PCP. My PCP is great and will taking out my stitches when I get back from MX.

I would have loved to have gone to the MGB university. I live in Orlando.

I am going to MGB to get rid of acid reflux made worse with the sleeve. The current procedure is much better than the very first surgeries that gave the procedure a bad name. I am having surgery July 28 so I can verify these claims. Best of luck to you.

I am getting the MGB also. I have a sleeve but dying from GERD even on medication.

Seriously. If you get offended if someone comments on your post, get off the internet. I welcome anyone that has anything to say. If it is negative that is their problem ("'opinion") not mine. I have friends that are for both political parties running for president and I learned early on to keep my comments to myself. Especially if I still wanted them as friends.

Listerine strips are a good idea. We will all have nice breath too.

I am going to TJ using BariatricPal Team MX. My sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass cost is $5399. Their cost for sleeve is $4399. They will pick me up in San Diego and will be with me for the whole time until I am returned to the SD airport. I do not have any fear. I have all my questions answered by phone, through Facebook, FaceTime or Skype. I have spoken to my surgeon Dr. Illan and asked all my questions. Contact Bill@BariatricPal.com if you want more information.

I am using BariatricPal Team MX. I am going from sleeve to MGB and the package costs $5399. Dr. Illan is my surgeon and I am scheduled July 28th. BariactricPal will pick me at the San Diego airport and take me across to TJ. They will be with me until they take me back to the airport after 5 days. Let me know and I can get you in touch with them.

I had a nerve damaged from gallbladder surgery. I was given a Mersa infection with carpal tunnel surgery. Both done in the US. The research I have done about the TJ medical facilities and doctors showed me they will provide me with higher quality of care than I have received in the US. BariatricPal MX will pick me up at the SD airport and take to the hospital. I will spend 3 nights in the hospital. In the US this is considered out patient surgery. And yes, my insurance will not cover my surgery.

I will be there on the 28th too.

I am scheduled July 28 with Dr. Illan at Florence Hospital.

So sorry for what you have been through. Try to put yourself first and treat yourself as you would want to treat someone else.

Hope you are feeling better. That was a lot to go through.

Hope you recover great and meet all your goals.

I was sleeved in August 2011. Lost 90 lbs, gained 40 and have been stuck. Horrible acid reflux. Scheduled July 28 with Dr.Illan in Mexico for mini gastric bypass.

I have to go low carb 10 days before surgery. July 28th with Dr iIlan.

July 28 Dr. Illan in Tijuana for Mini Gastric Bypass, ThroughBariatricPal Team MX group. I have horrible reflux with the sleeve and cannot keep taking acid reducers.

I need to get a revision to RNY from a sleeve, I will have BCBS MA even though I live in Florida.For a revision did they place any requirements on you?

I have a sleeve and had acid reflux pre surgery. I don't know why my surgeon did not stir me toward a bypass. I have horrible acid reflux now. I am saving for self pay to go to Mexico to get the bypass done.
