Hi. I'm looking for a dr who performs the POSE procedure, but it is only in trial stages in Louisiana. Does anyone have any recomendations?? Thanks a bunch

Hi I am considering getting the sleeve in Puerto Vallarta and am looking for a doctor. Have you had your surgery there and who do you recommend. I am currently considering Dr. Hildago and looking for reviews.

Hi! I've chosen my doctor. I would like to show my family some of the reviews for Dr. Elias Ortiz. Thanks for posting your review.

Any recommendations? Dr. Ortiz at ALM is booked and MBC is hard to get in contact with. I don't want to go to Vida because my husband can't stay there with me after surgery.

Are any of the bariatric doctors in Mexico American board certified. How important was this in your decision to go to Mexico?

I'm looking at either florence hospital or Mi Doctor. Is one hospital better than the other?

Are there any reputable surgeons near the Texas border for around the $5000 price point?

Thanks everyone. I've read that they are excellent, but unfortunately over my budget.

My husband and I spoke to Dr Kelly, and we were pleased. I'll probably go with him. My other choice was going with a doctor who did surgery on a friend of mine, but is not American board certified.

I understand. But what about American board vs Mexican board. Does it matter?

Great!! My bmi is 35, and I understand what you mean about finding someone to do the surgery here. I got approved in Texarkana for the plication, but from my research have decided to get the sleeve instead. I'm in Louisiana. I was deciding between Dr Lopez and Dr Osuna at Vida Spa or Dr. Valenzuela at Mi hospital, but just tonight someone highly recommended Dr Ramos Kelly to me. I've read great reviews for Mi hospital, but I'm not impressed with the photos. A friend of mine for many years, used Dr Valenzuela, so that's where I started my search. I was also considering Dr. Ariel Ortiz.

Would you share the other doctors you have narrowed it down too? I've narrowed mine to 4 and would like too see if mine overlap with yours.

Thank you for the information! I know that it is quite a bit more expensive to go with him, but I also know if you are going to cut costs, your health is not where to cut them.

Thank you for the response!! Dr. Lopez still does the surgery in Puerto Vallarta. There is $1,000 difference between Dr. Lopez and Dr. Hildago. I could also go through Dr. Lopez in Tijuana, but I would love to see Puerto Vallarta.

Search Mexico Sleevers That is one I am in.

I know. There seems to be a lot of new procedures and it's tough to decide what to go with

Thank you! I believe the stomaphyx is only for bypass patients. I'll let you know what I find out

Yes I am having second thoughts too. I can't decide which procedure to have. Would love to hear others advice

Thank you!! I'm checking out his site now.

I've gotten over my fear of surgery and now need to decide if I want the plication alone or with the band. I really didn't like the idea of the lap band but Dr suggests both together.

Congratulations! That is wonderful to hear and I know it's a struggle. Thank you for sharing your story!

Thanks for the response. I didn't know what it was called on here; I just know what my Dr called it. I've done a ton off research but I haven't found anything giving the pros and cons of plication with or without band. I've read all about the plication and band individually. Are you pleased with your choice?

Hi thanks for the response. First thing is the price. It will be an additional $6000 too add the band to the plication. The second thing is the regurgitation. The people I know with band have to leave the dinner table bc of stuck food and that makes me uncomfortable
