Question about surgery in Mexico



Recommended Posts

After seeing some of your rave reviews and before and after pics, plastics in TJ is looking better every day!

My question is about getting into TJ. I'm no where near Mexico, so how would you guys recommend getting there? Fly into Mexico or fly into Cali?

Thinking about Dr. Sauceda. I still have a ways to go before I'm at goal but if I'm doing this I have to plan way in advance as much as I can. Plus I like to do a lot of research.

Do we rent a car and drive into TJ or what?

Dr. Sauceda is in Monterrey, so you would fly there (it's in the northeastern part of Mexico). He usually picks you up unless he's in surgery, then his driver picks you up.

If you're going to a doctor in TJ, they usually have drivers that will pick you up from the San Diego airport and take you to the hotel or to the doctor's office for your marking then to the hotel.

Oh, my mistake. I had hoped to do it in TJ because I have a friend that lives there. But I'm still researching.

That's amazing! I can't believe they do that. They seem to take much better care of you than here.

Fly into San Diego. The van will pick you up and bring you back. I would recommend the center of Excellence in TJ. Dr Ariel Ortiz runs it and his place is the best. The plastics center is called The Ariel Center. Saw many people having successful procedures when I has my sleeve. A doctor is on site 24/7. And they always answer the phone I had great care there. You will be at the TJ Marriott before and after.

I just had a lower body lift in TJ with a wonderful surgeon, who is a board certified PS plus a micro-surgeon so his incisions are flawless...Please take your time and really research this, I spent a whole year looking for the right surgeon. I went to cosmed last year and had a terrible outcome, my arms need a revision as well as my breast. The implants need to be removed and the pocket rebuilt and then they have to heal for 6 months before another implant can be put in. I wish I had found my surgeon back then. My new surgeon is Dr Victor Gutierrez and he specializes in WLS patients also. He has a 5 star rating from realself. That's how I found him and I am so glad I did.

      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?
