Recommended Posts

Hi I'm new here.. I would like to post my journey from start to end... I'm ready !! Yes... After trying to get approved by my insurance in nj and denied. I decide to go to mexico! Actually I will be having my sleeve surgery with doctor hector perez corzo in cancun... I decide cancun because is closer to home less expensive to travel .. And also the whole idea of Tijuana was not my thing.. I love cancun is beautiful will be visiting for second time.. Now I've hear some good things about this doctor .. I also know I cant expect the clinic to be like the states but I sure hope is clean for most ... I will be be there for total of 6 days .. To make sure everything is fine before I come back... .. If anyone had some tips or has been there please re post.. Thanx.

Hello taniche, i live in Cancun and I am looking for the best surgeon also. I have request a price to dr. verboonen and all the information was given very fast by his Coordinator Sheri until I request for some of his stadistics. But the coordinator actually fix me a meeting with him on september 13th to ask all my questions. The price for was 5500 usd includind all but when i said I was Mexican and in fact I live in Cancun the coordinator said that the price for

Mexicas is higher that for foreings you can imagine that Realy made me angry, any way she said that she will honor the price of foreing pacients. But when I ask for the hotel acomodatios she gave me a little hotel in down town but I have the feelling that she is giviming me that hotel because I am a Mexican and that in fact Is not probable that I will use it since I live here (that is something that make unconfortable with the company patients facilitator and not with the Dr. I have to say)

Today I have request price and conditios to Ready 4 a Change which I think work with Dr. Perez which is also a very good option for me because I think he lives here in Cancun or Playa del Carmen so in case of anything post op most to be seen by my surgeon he is just a few minuts from home (Dr. verboonen only comes 2 time per month to Cancun, I believe his permanent residence is in Tijuana)..

I have my options very open so even living in Cancun I have consider going to the most recomendet doctor in Monterrey or Tijuana so It will all depends on my appointment with this 2 doctors and their answers to my questions. I will let you know.

Hello, today is my 3th day post op, thanks to God every thing went very well. The clinic was completely full of pations for vsg, My doctor was Dr. verboonen but in my surgery Dr. Perez was also present and he release me from hospital today. I also was very very scared and the recovery depends on each body. A person on other room did not even need help to take her first bath and I did. Walking is very important and for me was no working that much because I did not take off alot of gas but others did. So I think it depends on your body. The nurses came very very often to aply medicin and check all your vitals. The pain... Well I think is more like a very strong discomfort than a pain. I use to feell more pain on my mestruation than the pain on these 3 days. But the discomfort is strong. My surgery was last of the day last friday 27 sept. and at 11 am of sunday I was on the way to a restaurant so my husband can have Breakfast. I feel strage and a litle pain when I drink, litle pain in my upper back but I think is my body getting use to my new digestive system. If you come to Cancun I don't think you will regret it. The atentios was great, the hospital Victoria is small but just what you need. If you come whit some one else ask for a room with the sofa on the room so he or she can spend the night.. Good luck and just pray alot to be calm on that day.
