Canada to Mexico for WLS



Recommended Posts

Has anyone on here travelled to Mexico for weight loss surgery? If so I have a couple questions I would like to ask you as my surgery is coming up in a few days.

If you can, consider India....some of best Doctors in world due to frequency of operations. We're from Florida and moved to India a couple years ago. Facilities are First Class (depending on hospital). I used Fortis Gurgaon. Biggest problem is post surgery follow-up when you leave the country; but seems to be plenty of that in the USA. Surgery cost was about $11K everything in; plus we have a VIP room with butler and 1 nurse per room. My wife hade her hip replaced here for same reasons. Just a thought.

I travelled from New Zealand to Mexico (Tijuana) in May this year. Had a great experience. If you have any questions I'm more than happy to try and answer them ????

I would just recommend that you search on BP and the internet for information on these doctors in Mexico and be thoroughly informed before you select one. Best wishes!

Research like crazy before choosing a surgeon. Look closely at the facility, staff, and followup care, too I used Dr. Ariel Ortiz and Dr. Martinez at Obesity Control Center in Tijuana. Great experience, wonderful facility, no complications and excellent results. PM me if you'd like more info.

Hey I would love to talk to you about your experience. I am also from New Zealand and considering Mexico as an option. It would save me about 10,000 i think?!

Did you fly home long after the surgery? What is the process if there are complications etc?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
