I had my surgery last year in Juarez. I wouldn't worry about the violence. You ride from the airport straight to the hospital and back.

I think you are right in having your fears of traveling to Juarez. There are no guarantees and the doctor or hospital will not guarantee your safety. I considered it very seriously because of the savings but in my head I couldn't get past the news reports.

I've heard amazing things about Dr. Kelly in Tijuana. You could give him some research. His cost was $5,300 when I checked into using him.

THANKS FOR UR ADVICE

I live in TX and yes all the border towns here are scary . I had a friend go with Dr.Rod and love love loves him and she felt safe the entire time. Just dont go out running around the hospital is safe . You will be fine just play it safe . I am useing Dr.Kelly as well but that was just my choice I would have crossed in TX to use dr kelly if I would have needed to I would have prefered to cross TX borders being a Texan myself

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
