I have been approved to have surgery in Mexico and I wanted to know has anyone else had their surgery in Mexico and how did it turn out. Would like to get more information about this before I head there or even make a date for the procedure.

I had mine done in Cancun in November and have done really well. The hospital was very clean and the care was good. I work at a hospital here in the states. A friend had her surgery then and is doing well too. I have another co worker that had her surgery done 2 years ago and Tijuana and has done well also.

Okay great. I was wondering about the one in Tijuana, that is the one I got approved to and I was just wondering how things worked there. Hoping things work out well. Have you been successful with keeping the weight off and also the has there been any medical issues with getting it done in Mexico?

What doctor did she go to, your friend that went to Tijuana see if you know?

I have lost 70 lbs since my surgery November 11. I have a week of no weight loss here and there, but I have not regained any weight.

I also have just been approved to go to Mexico for my sleeve. The best advice I can give you is to do your research.

My research led me to Dr. Alvarez and Endobariatric. While not the "cheapest" option, you definitely do get what you pay for in this case. He only performs the gastric sleeve procedure instead of the different types.

I have my new "birthday" scheduled for July 8th and I'm excited.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
