I went to Dr. Sanchez and the entire procedure was $7,999. He is a wonderful surgeon and the Santa Engracia hospital is American owned and super nice, clean, state of the art modern. It rivals any care I could have gotten in the states. Be very sure you have aftercare arranged before you go the Mexico route. I live in the very south tip of Texas so it has been very easy for me to meet Dr Sanchez when he is in Matamoros, and he also referred me to a doctor 45 min away for fills. He gave me his personal cell number, I called several times and he is very glad to answer any questions and very compassionate. I will gladly talk to you if have any questions. Message me if you want my phone number!

I was banded by Dr. Sanchez - wow, what a great experience. Everything is first rate from the driver who picks you up at the airport, to the hospital and its wonderful staff, to the guest house which is so much better than staying in a hotel.

I would recomend Dr. Sanchez to anyone looking into getting banded.

BUT DO BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE AFTERCARE AND A FILL DOCTOR LINED UP BEFORE BANDING.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
