Hospital Angeles (Tijuana) - CLOSING?



Recommended Posts

Hello, I want to use Dr. Ramos Kelly and I am in the same boat. Hospital Angeles raised the price for him to $7400 as well and he also no longer uses Mi Doctor and now is offering surgery at 2 places I can't get any reviews on.

Here is what I was told by Heath who works for Dr. Kelly

Dr. Kelly performs surgery out of 3 locations. The first 2 are full service hospitals and Clinica San Juan is a surgical center.

1. Angeles Hospital. The sleeve costs $7400 + $278.41 for Medical Tourism insurance
2. Hospital Del Prado. www.hospitaldelprado.com The sleeve costs $5900 + $278.41 for Medical Tourism insurance
3. Clinica San Juan. http://www.clinicasanjuan.com.mx The sleeve costs $4700 + $200.10 for medical tourism insurance
Dr. Kelly has all patients stay 2 days at each place before they go to the hotel for up to 2 additional days.

Hosp Angeles seems to be on par with comparable high end US specialty hospitals. I will be staying there 4 nites. Compared to other TJ facilities it is quite more expensive.

Almater Hosital in nearby Mexicali costs even more. I believe Dr. Wilhemly charges $8500 for 3 nites. It is supposed to be a very good hospital.

It's a tough choice but you have to decide what works best for you.

Money is the main reason why many of us are having surgery in Mexcico.

Dr. kelly is very good. Perhaps you can speak to him directly about the other facilities.

I like the idea of recuperating in a resort like terrific hospital in a foreign country but that is what I want and am willing to pay more for it

I truly like Dr. Ramos Kelly and Dr. Ariel Ortiz and want one of them to be my choice. I made a request to find out what the cost is for Dr. Ariel Ortiz today and hope to decide on who I want by mid week. I have to set a date soon but also am trying to apply for my passport card this week as well. I already got my loan from the lending club that only took 3 days and now its just getting to who I choose and where I feel safe going to.

Rocky1 when is your surgery?

Vsg with ortiz at OCC is 6500. I think it is the second option in TJ to Corvala and hospital Angels. Angeles probably thinks they can charge 1000 more because it is a real full scale hospital. I will stay at hospital angeles five nights.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
