Maybe they are busy.. I'll say give it maybe a couple of more days depending on how you long you have waited so far. Make sure you read reviews on every doctor or center.

Dairymary 533 Posted November 17, 2016 I had VSG surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center 6 years ago. Specifically recommended by several US bariatric surgeons. No middle man.....you deal directly with Dr. Ortiz and his staff. Easy, pain free recovery, no complications, great postop communication and holding steady 160 pounds down.

Hammer_Down 631 Posted November 17, 2016 I went through ALM in Tijuana last month. I made a long post detailing my interactions with them and my experience before, during and after surgery in the Self Pay in Mexico forum on this site. It's obviously specific to my own experience, but I recommend checking it out for an idea of how things may differ from any previous experience you've had in the USA. I can't sing their praises loudly enough - I was treated well, I was impressed with the accommodations provided, impressed by the staff at the hospital and I'm thrilled with my results so far.

southernmom 52 Posted November 19, 2016 I am in Tijuana tonight waiting to have sleeve in the morning. Dr Sergio Verboone is doing. Great so farHad my sleeve surgery yesterday at 5:00pm Mexico time. At first I thought I had made a mistake because the pain was so bad. Today it is not as bad, still have drain in and it will be removed tomorrow. I have a 6 hour flight home tomorrow after fluor test. I have had nothing by mouth since 9:30 Thursday night. I will get ice chips today and I am looking forward to that. Gas-x strip have helped with gas pain. I have been walking off and on since 4 hours after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
