Hospital Mi Doctor – Tijuana Bariatric Surgery Mexico



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I have been doing research on the gastric sleeve. I have been in contact with a rep via email stating I have been accepted.

I am wondering if anyone out there can give me a run down on the precess from hear on out.

Wondering how long it takes them to get a date set?

How many have picked this Hospital and their outcome?

Is there any Fellow Canadians that have ventured to this facility for a sleeve?

Has anyone also chosen Dr Cabrera and their opinion on his services?

I have been waiting since last Thursday for a reply for a date I sent back to them on my availability .... I did here from a fellow Pal member saying it usually does not take them long to respond. Maybe I am just anxious .. feel like a kid waiting for xmas morning. Sorry like most of you know I can't wait to start this process!

Any info would be greatly appreciated though.... !

Thanks!

Hey there. I live in Saskatchewan and went to Mi hospital in Tijuana on January 11/16 to get my sleeve done. My surgeon was Dr. Valenzulea, however, I did meet dr Cabrera twice while I was there and he was very nice.

I actually talked to my coordinator on the phone and set a date with her once I knew I had my family's support and could get the time off from work. So maybe email your coordinator and ask her to call you. Mine always called me right away when I asked her to. I talked to her the end of November and had my date set for Jan 11, although I could've gone the week before if I wanted.

I had a wonderful experience and am so glad I picked it and my doctor.

I can tell you much more if you want...there's a lot of info to tell, just let me know anything you want to know and I can help you out!

      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. 🤞
