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!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
