Obesity Control Center in Mexico

Hey folks,

I am self pay and I have been seeing a surgeon here but I'm so torn between going with that or saving 10K by going to Mexico. I do HATE flying and I'm afraid the anxiety will be overwhelming once I'm there, but then again... 10K...

Has anyone used OCC? What was your experience like? What were the costs? Did most of the staff speak English well? Did they keep on top of pain/nausea, etc?

Any info appreciated! Thanks!

I was sleeved last week in Tijuana...i went with Bariatric Pal MX. It was pretty stress free to be honest, and a great experience. Nurses were INCREDIBLY attentive and caring and most spoke English (or tried using Google translator). I was never alone, always someone around if needed them. Im a week out and i feel great.

I used OCC. sleeved 7/22. Perfect experience from pick up at the airport to drop off. Dr. Ortiz is amazing, the staff speaks perfect English, my surgery was super easy, the hotel was nice, and the group I got sleeved with was awesome (there were 5 of us that got sleeved the same day - all Americans and we became friends). The facility was very nice, you get a private room after surgery and the staff holds your hand through everything. There is more staff than patients!! The cost is very reasonable, but you need to call or email OCC for their rates.

Who is your surgeon? My husband 100% vetoed Mexico. I'm sure it's the same fear and bias I had about going there at first but I doubt he's going to budge. Thanks!

Dr Kahlil shillingford. Boca raton. $10500. $10000 if you at by check. I did the sleeve on August 15th. Very happy with the dr and staff. Best of luck. I did hear good things about Mexico. But god forbid something go wrong.
