Bariatric Pal TJ Doctor Offerings?

[projectionguy 22]

I am ready to book a package, and curious why I see no reviews or discussions about the 4 TJ doctors that BariatricPal pushes?

Dr jaime Ponce de leon Gastric Sleeve $ 4299

Dr Sergio verboonen Gastric Sleeve $ 4199

Dr Juan Francisco Zavalza Gastric Sleeve $ 3899

Dr Jesus Lopez Gastric Sleeve $ 3799

Obviously the price looks great, but this is one of the only cases I would rather spend a little more if it meant better. Any experience with the above doctors? Sounds like I should also strongly consider Illan and Quinones?

Ponce has several reviews.. One of the reasons I picked him. I can't speak for the special, as I am going through a different vendor and paying a bit more.

There is a thread all things ponce.. Sleeve chick used him and coordinates from Canada and wls4betterlife coordinates from Tijuana.

And come December 9, I will have used him too.

Thanks for that question. I was wondering about the same thing, because I am researching surgeons for a friend.

Everyone has their preference and favorites. I am sitting in Mi Doctor Hospital right now and had surgery yesterday with Elias Ortiz. He and Dr Morales are amazing; so are the anesthesiologist, hospital coordinator, and the staff. The Marriott is fabulous. I cannot say enough good about the positive experience I have had here. And I have some new surgery buddies that I met here. My cost was $4400 and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I just passed my leak test and now I am sipping apple juice

@@Rocky1 No but you aren't in bed much at all, unless you want gas pains. You are put in compression stockings that go up to your hip and can wear them as long as you want. I had my surgery on Sunday at noon and was up walking the halls at 3:00. You feel really good walking. When you go back to your room, you are tired and a little sore. We (me and my 4 new friends) walk around and talk and then go rest for awhile. I usually nap for about 1-2 hours then get up again. Also I was given my Heparin shot about 24 hours after surgery, to help prevent clots.

How did you contact them? I am very interested in this doctor. (I am searching for a friend.) Did you call them directly, or did you use Medical Tourism? Thank you much for your help.

In case anyone has already decided, on this site there is a "Cyber Monday" special of $3,299 for dr. Jesus Lopez.

That review about doctor switching was written by my friend!!!! she is overall happy with her results but it didn't go smoothly when she first got there. She is worried about me going down there. I am using a different doctor though. Her best advice is be willing to walk and lose your deposit.

Your time will be here before you know it. I know you are excited!!!!

I have someone who is interested in using Dr Jesus Lopez as well and took advantage of the $3299.00 special price and has already paid the down payment. Please please, let us know how everything goes with your surgery and experience while in TJ.
