If you went to mexico for your gastric sleeve surgery, who was your doctor and how much did it cost?



Recommended Posts

Go to him! He is the best! I did TONS of research on him and he has had no fatalities or mishaps! My biggest regret is that I did not do this sooner! Their English is good, He is accredited as well through BBB, the hospital is clean, you have your own privacy, the hotel is clean, etc. Talk to Ms. alma (love her to pieces) and she will take care of you!This was my first surgery and I have nothing but positive reviews to give. I made videos about my journey and I encourage you to do the same so that way you and your loved ones can see your progression! If you have anymore questions, please ask me!

Hi MISSORLANDOPLUSAMERICA2011, If I decide to get the gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana Mexico I will definitely be going with Dr Fernando Garcia with the single incision surgery. How was it for you? I'm kind of scared to take that next step and travel out of country. :/ I don't want to travel alone.

Also, I don't know about the single incision but the 5 ones that I do have you can barely see them and they are tiny. I use shea butter and Vaseline to help it fade away faster in which it is working

I also had my surgery with Garcia, and he is exceptional. The entire staff was on top of their game. They are very service oriented and take the patient care very seriously. Dr Garcia is humble and kind as well as knowledgeable. His anesthesiologist is also top notch. You will not regret choosing him. :-) Good luck!

Kelly, rodriguez, a. Ortiz, and Corvala are typically in the group of top Tijuana surgeons. As david from bariatric pal will remind us there are several other good surgeons in mexico but you need to be very careful in your research. Also the facility where you have the surgery done also matters.

Freddie_8 what do you think about Dr Fernando Garcia? I am really interested in going through it with TijuanaBariatrics.com I did a lot of research on him and I found nothing negative so far. He also has a office in California.

I really cannot offer an educated opinion on him. He appears to be a bit lighter on experience than some and doesn't appear to have the prestigous international credentials but that by no means indicates that he is a bad surgeon.

I went with Dr. Juan Corvala at Hospital Angeles, paid $6500...def recommend him...stayed extra days at the hospital b/c of my diabetes and a day at the hotel as well. So happy I went with him, the nurses and doctors, everything was top notch. My mom and I were super impressed, never have gotten this kind of care in the US...ever!

Frick did both Drs work side by side for your surgery? I read on their website that they work side by side on the patients. I'm aiming for Tijuana Bariatrics :) thank you Frick :)

Bham05 I'm not sure of anyone going through the in house finance. You may want to check on the gastric sleeve blogging website. There is a lot of people who went with Belite Weight. Many they can help you out. Thanks :)

      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!
