I agree with OTR. I too narrowed it down, and came to the same selections of surgeons. I went with DrAceves because I did want my hand held. :D I travelled alone and really wanted to feel that I was safe and secure. Not to say that the others aren't safe, I just felt Dr Aceves was the best for me. Also, sine I live in Vegas, Dr Aceves was a one-hour flight compared to Dr Alvarez, who is closer to the Texas border.

I chose Aceves and had a wonderful experience. I'd recommend him, his hospital, and his staff to anyone who is considering surgery in MX but is nervous. You'll feel safe & as comfortable as you can be.

I used Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. He is located just across the border from Eagle Pass, TX. He is a really great surgeon. Endobariatrics.com is where you find his info. He is in a hospital, does only 3 surgeries max each day and has a really good staff.

I'm with Dr Rodriguez in Mexico 11/23. He's 6800. Beliteweight.com arranges it. I chose him because he's done over 10,000 surgeries and quite well know in the field. I spoke with recent patient , who is also a nurse.

I'm excited. He is more than otters but you cannot put a price on this.

Dr. Jaime Ponce de Leon, in Tijuana, Mexico!

His Patient Coordinator is Trish. She and he are the super team :-). Dr. Ponce is renowned in Mexico, and taught a lot of the other doctors mentioned. Trish was the main factor to build the trust. You won't regret this choice.

Dr. Ponce is $5500. ($500 more for very high BMI or Lapland revision.)

I'm Day 4 Post OP, feel great! I posted more detail at www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/57620-looking-to-do-the-sleeve-in-Mexico/page__gopid__550636#entry550636

I had surgery in Tijuana Mexico and my doctor was Dr. Fernando Garcia. I paid $4700. It was cheap, he was good, the place was clean. If that's all that matters than this is the place.

However: I was sent home with NO pain meds which would have saved me from the following four days of absolute torture. By the time I found out I should have been prescribed pain meds I was already over it.

I was also sent home with NO Vitamins or even SUGGESTIONS of which ones I should or shouldn't buy.

Maybe asking your Mexican doctor if he/she provides these VERY NEEDFUL things will prevent you going thru what I had to go thru.

Dr Almanza in TJ Mexico on May 15, down 98lbs since surgery. 102 since preop.

My surgery was 4500 and I also had my gall ladder removed as a precaution (which I suggest to EVERY one having wls) and it was only 800 more.

I will be back at Jerusalem Clinic for my mommy makeover as soon as I lose the last 30 lbs!

I had my sleeve done on Oct. 30th with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana, MX. alma, Rosie and Melissa (the care coorindators) were amazing and so friendly and compassionate! I paid $4700 for everything. 2 nights in hospital and 3 nights in the Lovely Mariott Hotel. Samuel who was our driver that picked us up in San Diego was hilarious and so friendly!

I would highly reccomend Dr. Garcia... he definitely knows what he is doing!

Dr Garcia is amazing. I had my surgery done yesterday (nov 5th) and he saw me and my best friend walking in the hallway and hugged us. What an amazing surgeon and he has a wonderful bedside manner. Very pleased and impressed

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
