Mexico doctors?



Recommended Posts

Due to yrs of being 240 ish pounds, insurance doesn't cover surgery & in early 30''s I've made the decision to go to Mexico to get VSG. Anyone had VSG done there willing to share their experience would be appreciated. Cost? Facility/hospital stay? Doctor & staff? Thanks in advance :) I can only afford to have it done there, in the states it's impossible for me budget wise.

Hi there! There's a whole forum here dedicated to Mexico surgery where you will find what you're looking for. Many of us went to Mexico and came back happy

I keep a blog (it's a lot more of a diary than a blog, really) that has some details of my Mexico surgery. Like you, I had only two real choices...1) get my surgery in Mexico, or 2) forget it altogether. Although I'm still early on in the process (7 weeks tomorrow) I am doing well, making slow but steady progress, and have NO regrets. My blog is at: http://beawlj.wordpress.com/ and if you click on the menu item on the left called "Surgery" you'll see a few details about the surgery itself including all my costs. Good luck with your decision!

      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?
