Mexico or Canada



Recommended Posts

Hi All, I am close to my final decision to go ahead with sleeve. I have to pay out of pocket so in Canada the cost is 19,000. Still waffling about Mexico. It is a big cost for me. Any thoughts or experiences in Mexico would be greatly appreciated.

My surgeon does the surgery for less the $12000 here in the states, NO. Check him out . Dr. Vadim Gritsus.

I was in the same boat. RNY in Quebec for $21,000 or Mexico. I chose Mexico, one of the top surgeons. I'm booked for October 30th

I highly recommend my surgeon in Tijuana; Dr. Jaime Ramos Kelly. The surgery was done at Hospitale Angeles and I had a great experience and result.

I used Dr. Quinones at Pompeii Surgical in Tiajuana. I had a great experience. I had no complications and have lost 83 lbs since January.

I went to Dr Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics and had a fantastic experience. I paid 4250 all inclusive, super clean and modern hospital, transportation, and a few days at the mariott, which was also very nice. Dr Garcia is top notch. The care I received was way better than anything i have ever had in the US. My husband wasn't crazy about me getting surgery at all and was really against me going to mexico...until I went and he saw what it was like there and my results. He ended up getting surgery there 5 months after me. We are currently down a little iver 200 between the 2 of us

I went to Mexico. To Juarez. It was all top notch. I had a butler and a safe in my room. They checked on me every hour. It was better than any hospital stay I’ve had. And I stayed at the hospital the whole time.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
