Faith4me 6 Posted November 3, 2012 I haven't had the surgery yet but planning on going with Dr. Perez in Cancun, there are 2 others who had their surgery with him that I know of and had great results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedbump 38 Posted November 3, 2012 I used Dr. Alberto Aceves in Mexicali and was thrilled with my experience. He is at the upper end of the spectrum on cost, but I personally think it was worth it. He operates in a modern hospital and you stay 3 nights after surgery in that hospital. I have had pretty good follow-up also. 3 4weightlosssake, amykins and I Made It reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted November 3, 2012 Go over to the forum, "self pay mexico" you will find a wealth of information. I went with Dr Garcia in Tijuana, he is an amazingly skilled surgeon and very reasonable. He is fantastic and does his surgery in a hospital setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCbabygrits 5 Posted November 3, 2012 hello! I had my surgery on Sept 20th with Doctor Rod you can find the website at www.beliteweight.com I could not have had better care. Jessica was my facilitator and did everything to help me. I can say that she never once, NOT returned my call and even now if I have questions or concerns about anything, I still call her. Their driver, Alberto, met us in San Diego at the airport and even stopped so one of the ladies with us could get more gas strips, which I highly recommend! He drove us across the border to Tijuana to the motel where we met with the surgeon and owner and discussed what all was going to happen the next day. The price included a night at a beautiful motel and hospital stay. The staff at the hospital was excellent and I honestly did not have any complaints at all. I would do it again tomorrow!! Good luck!! 1 chiki reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted November 4, 2012 Chiki, what is your budget? There are many highly qualified surgeons in Mexico. My personal choice was dr. Ponce de leon. His rate was 5500. I have heard he may have increased to 6000. When I made my choice I was torn between Dr. Alvarez, Dr. Aceves, & Dr. Ponce de Leon. They are all very talented & exceptionally experienced. I couldn't find anything that indicated any of them were more qualified than the others. So basicly it came down to how much I was willing to pay for a newer nicer facility, and maybe a bit more hand holding. Once I found out about Trish, Dr. Ponce de Leon's coordinator, my decision became very easy. Trish is in my opinion, an invaluable person to have in your corner. 1 amykins reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcwestfam 123 Posted November 4, 2012 I too paid $5500 with dr Ponce. And it was his coordinator trish that made me finally choose him. She is wonderful and really goes above and beyond. 1 amytug reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
