Undoubtedly there is a "better forum thread" for my question, but I am not finding it. Doubt that the question deserves to be a new thread. What has the community heard about Bariatricpal Team-MX's package of 1 night in the hotel? During my research this summer, the package of 2 nights in the hospital and 2 more nights at the recovery center/hotel was a comforting thought. I expect to travel alone, don't have a follow-up surgeon, and thought the 2nd night seemed like a prudent choice over other a Tijuana bariatric surgeons, who were offering shorter recovery periods. When I booked with Bill Yanez, I heard the package was now just one night in the hotel. Bill offered to book me a 2nd night at the hotel for an up-charge, but didn't offer an explanation for the change. When I came back to the forum I found a post stating that the package had changed from 2 nights to 1 night, but the point of her post was that she was happy with the surgeon, and wasn't commenting on the length change. Bill Yanez didn't answer a followup email asking about the change, and I believe that he has been occupied for the last month with his own VSG. Found two websites for Dr. Illan, both copyrighted for 2017, and one flat-out recommends 2 nights in the hotel unless coordinated with the follow-up surgeon. Sent an email to Dr. Illan's website... so far nothing but crickets. {I know he has a Facebook presence, but I don't Facebook} I am on the schedule with Dr. Illan; comfortable with his reputation; aware that Bariatric Pal Team-MX is his only coordination service... so am not looking to rock the boat. Just curious as to what led the team to decrease the stay? Thought maybe somebody else had already gotten an explanation and would share. Maybe it was great news! Patients were bored stiff after a 3rd night, nobody needed anymore recovery time, and 99% of the feedback was "get us out of here."
