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!

      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.
