Two people DYING recently in Mexico on the operating table??

[Pinkbetty 2]

OK, this scares me. I was all for Almanza, even though I'm not thrilled with my choice. I'm hoping to make it out of the cattle call and be healthy and move on after the 3 days. I was considering Dr. Kelly, but now I'm hearing about deaths. I'd LOVEEEE Aceves, but he's just too expensive. Is there any middle ground Doctor in TJ who does a decent job? This scares me.... I always heard great things about Dr. Kelly.

who died now? I heard about the gal whose artery was nicked but what happened now? jeesh this is not good. . .

Are you saying that there have been deaths reported recently related to the TJ/Mexicali weight loss surgery centers? I was inquiring with Aceves at one point, but I just cant afford any out of pocket fees for anything at this time.

Just save up and go to Aceves!! It is worth every penny and he and his staff are WONDERFUL!

Hi, it's a couple of posts... Lemme find them.. There's a bunch of threads but I'll post the two I saw. Kind of confusing.

[Pinkbetty 2]

Ok, this is 3 different posts from different people. So were they both Dr Kelly? Not sure. Am confused.

Here you go:

That is why everyone should do their own research. There are stories about all Doctors. Dr. Kelly who I feel is a great Surgeon just had someone die a couple of weeks ago, do you think that makes him a bad surgeon? Things happen and it is usually the patient not following directions. The next time you talk to your surgeon, ask him how many he has done, I know how many your surgeon has done. I elected to go with someone with more experience( Almanza does 145 WLS a month) .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, there were TWO deaths recently there and they were wls related, obviously. Want opinions? Ok, I'll be honest. I think this place should be SHUT DOWN. I know people are going to hate on this, but look into it, these weren't the first deaths this surgeon has had. Experienced? In WHAT? Certainly not performing surgery correctly and SAFELY. I'll admit it, I did a YouTube video on this YESTERDAY and yes, I was talking about THIS DOCTOR.

DO NOT go to a 'chop shop' when you're dealing with your body. You have one stomach, one life...you're worth it to have a competent surgeon. Your life is worth more than bargain shopping and then a reason to have serious buyers remorse.

I think it's insane to shove people into a HOUSE to recover after a major surgery. Does that even make sense to you? Seriously? YES some people have gone there and have FORTUNATELY had great results and lived through it. But let me ask you this, what about the 17 year old girl that didn't go home? What about the mother of 3 children that DIDNT go home? This was recently... If I was scheduled with this place I would RUN, not walk away and demand my money back and save up for another surgeon.

****Sorry, 1 death, the mother with 3 kids was with Dr. Kelly.

I've heard about the one death, but I think we need to set the record straight and have something official.

[Pinkbetty 2]

Exactly. I figure someone who knows the facts will read the post and state the facts. Too confusing. But scary!

This link refers to a plastic surgeon who doesn't do VSGs. The patient got a serious infection but did not die, as far as I can tell from the article. It has nothing to do with Dr. Kelly or Dr. Almanza.
