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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
