Anyone having/had Sleeve in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled in July for my sleeve surgery and i am headed to Mexico to have Dr Alvarez do it! I have spoke with a few others that had theirs done with him as well and they had wonderful outcomes. I plan to loose over 150 lbs, I'm 5' 8" and I'm at 340 now.

Under SupportGroups there is a whole group just for self pay & Mexico.

You'll find most of the posts about Mexico there.

I'm having my sleeve done in Tijuana on May 27 by Dr Quiones.

I just found this today and I'm using the iPhone app only... Haven't figured out exactly how or where to find a specific thread.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
