Hi, I am new to this whole process but looking at having surgery in Mexico due to the cost differences. Can any of you tell me about your experiences if you have had surgery in Mexico. Where did you go? Who was your surgeon?

Thank you,

Hello Psychicgreer

 I had surgery in Tijuana and had a great experience. My Dr was Fernando Garcia the cost was $4500. Hospital was florence. Everything went well, I am two months out and 40Lbs down. I have had no complications and hardly any pain from surgery. I was sleepy after surgery and that was about it. You can let me know if you have any questions.

I just had surgery n TJ and the experience was great. My surgery was on the 19th of Dec. w/ Alejandro Lopez at the hospital Vida. I have not weighed myself since I've been back home. I want to weigh myself the 1st of January. The cost was $4600. I stayed at the Marriott. The hospital rooms were unbelievable. It looked nothing like a hospital. It looked more like a suite with a kitchen, living room area and dining room area. The Dr. And everyone involved were very amazing.

      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.
