I have to self pay for my gastric surgery and I have been researching alternative doctors and would like to know if anyone will recommend any doctors in Mexico. I am tired of this life and want my life back.

I am going to dr Elias Ortiz from alighterme.com on November 7th. My good friend used him and had a great experience. So far it's been an easy process!

I reallly recommend Dr. Aceves. He is more expensive but I felt safer staying 3 days in a hosptial and having 3 leak tests.

I made my decision, contacted them, we faxed paperwork back and forth for 1-2 business days, then I told them the date I wanted to have surgery. I made my deposit, the date I wanted was confirmed, I booked my flight and it was a final deal! It took less than 5 days total to arrange EVERYTHING.

I has sleeve done Sept 13 with Dr Quinones! I absolutely would recommend him to anyone. I paid 4,500 and it basically included everything besides Meds $80 and my airfare. I was treated like a queen.

Dr Fernando Garcia is an amazingly skilled surgeon and the best. He performed my revision and he was a superstar. Great price, 3 leak tests excellent aftercare.

      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.

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