How to find doctor in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

I really want to have the gastric sleeve done and want to know how to go about finding a reputable doctor that is less expensive since i will have to pay out of my pocket.

How did you decide to go elsewhere?

thanks:confused:

Hello!

In answer to your question, I was looking for a thread but couldn't find it. It's called "How to find a LAP-BAND® surgeon in Mexico" or something along those lines. Maybe you could try searching for it?

Also at the very bottom of the main page under "Lap Band Talk community center" there is a subheading called "Lap-Band® surgeons in Mexico" And it list a few names. I really don't know if they do the gastric sleeve, but from everything I've seen these are very good surgeons. One of them is mine, Dr. Kuri but there is also a Dr. Aceves who I've read great things about also.

I would find out who does the surgery you need, then do a search with their names to see what the patients have to say about them. That is how I did my research, and I am very happy with the results. Dr. Kuri is very experienced and I had VERY little pain post-op which was great!

Good luck to you! And just make sure you read up on whomever you do choose.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
