BP Deal vs Doctor direct



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. Trying to decide between Dr. Altamirano and dr. Ponce de leon. They both seem to be great Doctors but they have a bit of difference in price when using the BP deal. Also, wondering if the BP deal is better since recovery is at a condo vs hotel. Any advice? Thanks in advance!!!

Hello, I would be happy to help out with your questions.

Yes, both are great surgeons.

Dr. Ponce has 20 years of surgery experience and is highly respected amongst his peers.

Dr. Altamirano has 4 years of bariatric surgery experience and is also a trauma surgeon.

So rest assured, both would be a great choice.

In regards to doing a deal with BP or with the Dr. directly, well it is the overall experience with BP that sets it apart. With BP you are never alone. We are with you from the moment we pick you up in San Diego up until the time of your return. We transport you with our personal vehicles and our drivers our 100% fluent in English. We have personal customer service valets at both the hospital and the hotel for your convenience. Most importantly, we have a full staff of BP Team MX members there for whatever should arise. You do not get the that type of personalized service when booking directly through the doctors.

I can discuss in further detail with you at your convenience.

Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime at robert@bariatricpal.com or (619)726-4450

Thanks

Hi mhall,


Both are excellent surgeons. You can't go wrong with either of them.


I would also like to inform you, that as of tomorrow all patients go to the Tijuana's Grand Hotel/Grand Care facilities, per Alex Brecher and David Lopez.


Please contact us if you have any questions.

Thank you all for your helpful responses. But to clarify, is recovery in the grand hotel or condo? And are the costs all inclusive?

Going forward, all recovery stays will be at the Grand Hotel Tijuana.

      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.
