Surgery in Mexico?

[ho11ieberry06 39]

Has anyone had sleeve surgery in Mexico at Hospital Jerusalem? If so, can you tell me about your experience? I am in the beginning thoughts of having sleeve surgery in Mexico because I can afford it better. But I am a little leery. Just wanted some thoughts on the subject.

Thanks,

Holly

Hi Holly! I had my sleeve done in Tijuana by Dr. Kelly, I did a looot of research before, and I rather go with Nova Hospital, Angeles was tooo expensive for me, I'm not going to say anything negative of Jerusalem, but I decided it just wasn't for me... so I rather to save a little bit more... but again that it's totally your decision. Best luck!

Research, research, research! Read everything you can find on the doctor you are considering and his patients. Also, youtube has loads of videos from patients who were sleeved in Mexico-you can PM them for more of their story as well. I'm very happy with the doctor I have chosen for my surgery (4 weeks away-so excited). You will find nearly everyone on the forum here is happy with the doctor they chose, so find what works best for you. You can also Google the clinics/hospitals these surgeons work out of and see films of the facilities on youtube (if that helps you decide). Definitely consider your health-if you have any extra risks-how does the doctor respond to those? I have 2 clotting disorders so would not choose anyone operating out of a clinic. I need a full hospital and a surgeon who knows how to handle my situation. Good luck with your search. Stay on the forum-it's full of great info and support
