MsMyste 2 Posted October 17, 2016 So I'm just curious how many people have actually went to Mexico and had their surgery? Its kinda scary to me but not as scary as my insurance telling me they will cover nothing if I have complications from this surgery. I have noticed there is insurance you can buy for any complications but it's only good for thirty days. Did anyone else have my concerns and went ahead with the surgery anyways in Mexico? What was the experience like? Anyone have Dr.Maytorena? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 1 barr3563 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highfunctioningfatman 2,675 Posted October 17, 2016 I had an excellent surgery in Mexico. I went through Trinity Medical and they treated us like family. My wife was treated to lobster and a massage. They also got her whatever food she wanted while I was at the hospital. Zero complications and zero complaints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CedarMan 4 Posted October 17, 2016 Myself, my wife and my brother in law all had surgery in Juarez, Mexico in the last two months. We went through a company called BeLite Weight. The experience was awesome and I would recommend anyone to go there if you are doing Cash Pay. We all had Dr Jose Rodriguez and his team do our surgeries. He has done over 11000 procedures over his career. He is one of the original Dr's to perform the sleeve surgery even before it was approved in the US. The complication rate is less than 1% for this surgery. You will do just fine if you decide to go to Mexico. Good luck on your Journey. Here's to a healthy you!!!!!

Dairymary 533 Posted October 23, 2016 Had my surgery at Obesity Control Center in Tijuana. Excellent experience, quality medical care, easy recovery, no complications, and still maintaining my 160 pound loss 6 years later. My daughter is a gastroenterologist and she sent me to Dr. Ariel Ortiz based on recommendations from her colleagues in the bariatric community. VSG was still considered experimental in the US at that time so my insurance wouldn't cover it. GOOD LUCK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatKat 27 Posted December 2, 2016 I had surgery 4/14/14 with Dr. Ilan in Tijuana. I weighed 264 and now I weigh 146. I had zero complications and obviously would do it again in a heartbeat. Two of my coworkers did it too and are doing well and had an easy time. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
