mgraham2712 0 Posted January 29, 2017 Has anybody had gastric sleeve in Tijuana Mexico? If so how was your experience? My surgery is in March. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dairymary 533 Posted January 29, 2017 Had mine in TJ over 6 years ago. Great experience, quality medical care (I'm a retired RN so I know the difference), easy recovery, no complications. However, there are good and bad surgeons/facilities on both sides of the border, so without knowing your surgeon, there's no way to compare my experience to what yours will be. Congrats and good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

almost40ish 58 Posted January 31, 2017 I'm getting surgery on 2/18 at Tijuana Bariatrics (Dr's Garcia & Vazquez are there). My coworker used Garcia about 6 months ago & raved about them, and she's doing great! I've encountered others that have used them too, all positive reviews. Best of luck to you!
