Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had an experience with Dr. Kelly in Tiajuana. I live in San Diego and going to a doctor in TJ would be so convenient but i am not sure if he is the best one. Has anyone heard of any good or bad reviews on him? Can anyone recommend anyone else in TJ, if not Dr. Kelly? Thank you for your help.

Well, I will give a big endorsement for Dr. Ariel Ortiz at OCC, since that's where I had my surgery and it was great. There are MANY fantastic surgeons and facilities in TJ, so do your research. The Mexico & Self-Pay sub-forums are a great place to start. As many many people post there with their experiences and the results of their own research.

I'm scheduled with Dr. Kelly on the 22ed. I can tell you more then. I'm in health care and he had some criteria that i liked, I also chose the option for the Angeles hospital. I know it was more but didn't want to cheap out on my life since i'm saving that much over us self pay.

Hope that helps. If you need anymore info, let me know.

Tom Hill, DPh.

Haven't heard anything good about doctor kelly. I like that he operates in a hospital but I found lower cost people with better reputations that also use a hospital and not a clinic.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
