If you went to mexico for your gastric sleeve surgery, who was your doctor and how much did it cost?
BackToBeautiful replied to BackToBeautiful's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
And yes they still email-call and text me from different numbers trying to get me to pay the $250 dollar non refundable deposit fee too. -

@@Rocky1 I know. I was going to go with Dr Almanza until I did alot of research and found so much bad reviews. So many severe complications from alot of people. NO! NOT THE DR FOR ME! people still chose to go to him even with all those very bad reviews. I love my life and I refuse to put it in his hands! -

@@SarahSmile did Dr Almanza sew over the staples to help prevent leakage? Alot of people from Louisiana has went to him to get their surgery done. -
Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Piedres Negras
BackToBeautiful replied to Llunker's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
@@ShawnS16 yes exactly! I can't found any reason not to choose Dr Alvarez. The more I read about him the more excited I get. Tijuana is just a little to far for me. I am in Louisiana and Dr Alvarez is much closer than the other doctors. His fee is a little higher but I believe it is worth every penny. It's cheaper for me to travel to San Antonio Tx then to San Diego California. By the time I pay for everything I would be better off going to Dr Alvarez anyway. I'm sold! :) -

How much was you self-pay ?
BackToBeautiful replied to NiecyBelle12's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Never mind my last question you've already answered it earlier on in this post. Sounds great! $6800 plus you stay in the hospital the whole time which is only three nights then you go home. Thats nice because I'll have to get back to work. -

BackToBeautiful replied to NiecyBelle12's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Suzamundo thank you. I'm thinking about getting it done with Dr Rodriguez in Cidad Juarez Mexico because it is closer and I also need dental work done at RIO Grande dental out there. Did he put sutures/sew over the staples. Did you just stay in the hospital for three to four days? That sounds great. That hospital looks great also. -

ANY SLEEVER'S WHO WENT WITH DR ALVAREZ?
BackToBeautiful replied to BackToBeautiful's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
My husband is very jealous and thinks I'm going to leave him for another man once I lose the weight. Why he so insecure? I don't even know! Makes me feel like he would rather me stay looking bad so no one else would want me. Crazy ! Let me live and be happy with myself. I'm doing this for me. Not no one else. -

BackToBeautiful replied to BackToBeautiful's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I know how you feel. Im kind of scared but I know if I don't get it done I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Plus Dr Alvarez is an excellent surgeon from all of the good reviews I've seen. I'll be going alone because my husband says I shouldn't do it. -

ARE THERE ANY PRE-SLEEVER'S FROM LOUISIANA PLANNING ON GOING TO MEXICO?
BackToBeautiful replied to BackToBeautiful's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Thank you but I did call that office and tried speaking with a lady about some payment plan and she quickly said... it has to be paid in full within ten days of the surgery and rushed me off the phone. I would have loved to get the gastric sleeve surgery there but im self pay and don't have $9800 up front. I was trying to get the lady to listen to what I had to say by me paying $1000 per month until March 2015 and I would have the rest up front. I'm still searching -

Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC
BackToBeautiful replied to Kindle's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Is Dr Elias Ortiz in Tijuana Mexico or Cidad Juarez Mexico? I ask because Cidad Juarez Mexico is closer to my home. Also does he do the sew over the staples to help prevent leakage? If he doesn't then I would choose him. -

Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Piedres Negras
BackToBeautiful replied to Llunker's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I two spoke with Susan and did the history and health check. I will go through the gastric sleeve surgery with Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras Mexico in Feburary of 2015. It will cost me $8500 plus passport and round trip to and from San Antonio Tx. I have to deposit $1000 dollars first though. I'm working on that now. Then I'll send $1000 per month until February 2015 and go with the rest leftover to pay. -
13 yr old getting sleeve. Need recommendations in Mexico
BackToBeautiful replied to slcmommy5's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Yes Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras, Mexico did it on a twelve year old girl but his fee is higher then others in mexico. I've only read good things about him. Nothing at all negative. My 12 year old son is over weight also. If he decides he wants to do the surgery I would take him get it because kids can be very cruel and mean. He has no friends. He tells me no one likes him and calls him fat. It hurts my heart -

I almost scheduled to go with Dr Almanza but after reading so much bad reviews about them, I have decided to go with someone else instead.
