Anyone here heading to Mexico? Going with ALM, not through insurance

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and stumbled across it while doing my research into the gastric sleeve surgery. I'm 24 (25 in 2 months) and have been overweight since I was a child. At about 20, I was diagnosed with PCOS and have been gradually gaining weight since. I've dieted multiple times. Each time I'd lose however, I'd gain it all back and more. Plus weightloss with PCOS is sooooooo hard. I'd always get demotivated after a couple of months. I was working so hard and I was seeing little-no results. Very frustrating! So that's why I'm here. I'm Jamaican, living in Jamaica. We currently do not have the facilities/the facilities here are fairly new. As a result, I've decided to have surgery in Tijuana. I'm hoping to get this done in May-June 2017. Can you guys provide the names of doctors that you recommend? So far, I've reached out to A Lighter Me. Which A Lighter Me doctor do you guys think is best?

Thanks! Had nooo idea Cancun was an option. I'll keep it in mind. Although, since my partner is in the US, I may or may not be in San Diego around surgery time. I should have her work schedule later this month, so I'll know my dates and where I'll be for sure. But Cancun would save me sooo much time.. And I could throw in a vacation too!

I'm looking at a May - early June surgery date (Self paying so I gotta save)… I get how impatient you are. I've been stressing myself out trying to come up with ways to get it done sooner. Just gotta keep reminding yourself that your time will come! Sent from my GT-I9152 using the BariatricPal App

Yes, I have. I pretty much have a list of about 6 surgeons short listed. Now I just need to decide ! Sent from my GT-I9152 using the BariatricPal App

Just got an email from Garcia. They're up to 6-8 a day now too Sent from my GT-I9152 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks again everyone. I'm currently leaning more towards ALM. Not just because of the price but there seems to be a whole, active community of ALM sleevers. OCC hasn't been eliminated though. Looked at Tijuana Bariatrics, but I'm going to say no.

Thank you both! Though pricier, Dr. Ortiz's facilities seem SO professional. I'll definitely add him to my list!

Hi, Are there any Jamaicans here who are STILL living in Jamaica
