livie1000 1 Posted February 2, 2017 Hi I'm considering having surgery I'm Mexico I've been considering and researching for two years and I'm finally ready to go to the next step. I found a clinic called a slimmer me.clinic the surgeon has just begun doing surgeries and the prices are very cheap, I just signed up with this app and was just wondering if anyone has heard of this clinic or the surgeon his name is Dr. Luis Enrique Montaño Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissKay 329 Posted February 2, 2017 I'm finding very little information on him unfortunately. I went to Mexico for mine but my surgeon was Dr. Jalil Illan and his services were great. I just suggest being extra cautious if you're unable to find much information on the surgeon. 3 DebSmiles, GBLady41 and Gigiheart reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mollymckim 27 Posted February 2, 2017 Please do not go to someone who is inexperienced or go to the cheepest. I had my surgery with Dr Quinones on January 25th. There are also good doctors through this site like Dr. Illan. There is already a measure of risk going to Mexico, make sure you find a good doctor.

Raymia 565 Posted February 2, 2017 You spent 2 years on research don't settle for anything cheap and you should always go with experience. Please take your time with choosing a surgeon. Best wishes to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted February 2, 2017 Every surgeon had to start somewhere, but where would that be? A new surgeon should be working for years with an experienced one. Once he is experienced enough to be out on his own, he isn't new anymore. Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
