casenior 12 Posted September 8, 2016 Considering surgery in Mexico if UHC 100% denies me and I can't get it cheap enough here in Texas. Which Mexico surgeon/facility did you use?

MissKay 329 Posted September 8, 2016 Dr. Jalil Illan was mine. At the time he was at the florence Hospital which was nice. They're now at the Oasis of Hope hospital and the people who've gone recently have had nothing but amazing things to say about the upgrade. It looks beautiful. No issues!

GBLady41 393 Posted April 9, 2017 Dr. Illan was my surgeon. I had surgery on 12/12/16 and had no complications. I had mini gastric bypass. I stayed at Oasis of Hope Hospital and then went to Pueblo Hotel & Casino. Both places were nice. Dr. Illan, his surgical staff, which includes two other bariatric surgeons, the other doctors, nurses and valets were amazing. They were very attentive and made sure I was healing right and that I and my daughter had everything we needed. One of the best decisions I have ever made!!! 8 BigDaddy13, mbuczkowski, k-athy and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarinaGirl 609 Posted April 13, 2017 Dr. Ramos Kelly on 4/10/17. Surgery was at Angeles Hospital in Tijuana and after a few days, recovery at Lucerna Hotel. My first in person consultation was the day before surgery. Prior to then, I spoke to the surgeon a couple of times and swapped multiple emails with him and his staff. Key thing is to fill out your surgeon's medical questionnaire with accurate and complete details so he/she can recommend the right procedure for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AerBella 3 Posted April 18, 2017 How much is it in the end? I'm Canadian and our dollar is brutal compared to US dollar today. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Please 188 Posted April 18, 2017 7500-9200 in Canadian dollars , but the OCC is one of the more expensive places. I do believe many people had great Success with Dr.illan , I think... at a much lower cost like 5500 Canadian. Just ask around in here, but make sure you pick a well known place, you need to have heard from lots of others, not 2 or 3...(I'm my books anyway) good Luck! 1 k-athy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
