Has anyone been sleeved in Cancun? I am thinking it might be easier to fly into Cancun, and advice on surgeons, coordinators, prices etc would be wonderful! :)

Not sleeved in Cancun, but I flew into San Diego where I was picked up & crossed the border to Tijuana. It is literally 20 mins across the border!

That was with Dr Kelly.

Not sure where you are flying from, but it may be cheaper to fly to San Diego than Cancun?

Would I be able to email or converse with you? It looks like my choice is Mexico, and I am starting to get a little nervous.

Thanks,

Pam

I have my sleeve scheduled in Cancun for Jun16th with Dr.Sergio verboonen.

We're going a few days early, sort of a mini-vacation before the operation. I

will be happy to report all that happens if that helps to ease your mind.

I took a passport, but if Omar said you will be fine with birth certificate & drivers license I would trust him that it's enough!

They didn't even ask for any ID for me going into Mexico, it was just coming back into the USA that I had to show ID.

You have to have a passport to get back across the border. Google Mexico travel.

I used Dr. Perez in Cancun. Had a wonderful time and experience. It was easier for me to get to Cancun than any of the other Mexico locations, since I live in Florida. It was only 1 hr 15 mins by plane, it's 7 hrs to San Diego. I had my lapband in Tijuana with no problems 9 years ago so I have nothing bad to say about it, but if I had to choose between the two places Cancun would win everytime. It's gorgeous and so relaxing. My hotel room overlooked the ocean so it was nice to sit on the balcony after surgery and recuperate, plus the flight home was so quick.

Best of luck in your search :)

      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.
