Best surgeon in Mexico for a reasonable price? Ignore my previous post, i hit post too early



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery in the states but now my boyfriend wants it. I'm clueless when it comes to Mexico surgeons. I has heard good things about Dr Aceves, but learned last night he charges 8700$!! We could do it in the states for 3k more than that. So, please help guide me. I am clueless and want a good surgeon for my boyfriend in a nice hospital and nice hotel and everything included, within a reasonable price....6k max. Is that too much to ask for? Should I go a different route? Please help.

I had Dr. Fernando Garcia - and went through Ready4Achange http://bariatricweightloss-surgery.com/

My cost was $4700 and that covered everthing but airfare... and I had a great experance

My insurance didn't cover the operation... However I do have a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account and I was able to get reimburest $2500 from the money that was in it,,, so for me.. out of pocket it cost me $2200 plus airafre

any questions about Dr. Fernando Garcia and my experances feel free to ask

Good Luck

I can't give a personal recommendation since I ended up being approved by my insurance, but when I was considering Mexican surgeons I did a lot of research. I had decided on Dr. Garcia. You may want to look for members who had him (and other surgeons you are interested in) as their surgeon and look at their posts and blog entries. Good luck!

Laura- Dr Armanza's office actually just called me telling me what they offer. Is that not a good route? I didn't get a good vibe when you put the hospital in parenthesis. Please explain. :)

Well first off sorry to the people that used this place and liked it.. THIS IS MY OPINION..

It is not a hospital it is a clinic in a strip mall between an office max and porn shop...

There have been horror stories and not long ago a news story about botched surgeries.

I personally would never be desperate enough to take such a risk.

Thank you for that. I will look into the other surgeons that others recommended. Do you happen to have any you favor?

They all seem to be ok.. I see you are looking at ilian he's not as well known as the Garcia's and Acevess but I still think he gets good reviews..

I just have a thing about going to an outpatient clinic in Mexico is all :)

Oh and I would PM Susan here.. She gets deals from time to time on these doctors and if I were to have a coordinator I'd prefer Susan because at least I can find her easily to bug, complain or ask..

I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Ortiz with OCC- I have read nothing but excellent things about him and his facility- $6500 not including airfare, including 3 nights in the Marriott. I have been researching this extensively since February and decided on Dr Ortiz. Any time I had questions, they responded to me right away when I called or emAiled.

I had surgery with Dr Ariel Ortiz on October 7. I am so happy I went with him! I had no pain and little discomfort. No throwing up, no dry heaves, no feeling like it. He triple staples then folds the edges in and staples again.

The Obesity Control Center is a center of excellence, using the same standards as the US. He has done over 10,000 of these surgeries. It is all he does. He teaches in the US. One thing I really liked about his clinic was that weight loss surgery is all they do. That means no sick people come to the clinic. No bad germs, no infections. Dr Ortiz has very few complications.

I recommend him highly.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
