Flying to Tijuana in April

[lobreezley 2]

Just seeing who all us been to Tijuana and stories. So far I like the Dr, had a FaceTime consultation with her and have talked to her team a ton. EVERYTIME I email them, they call me instantly! Anyone else with Dr Pompa?

Dr. Pompa is a great surgeon and has earned her good reputation. I know her for a long time. How much are you being charged?

[lobreezley 2]

$6500

Sr Ortiz’s team quoted me almost $9000 because I had a lapband years ago. (It was removed 4 years ago)

That’s not too bad. We charge $4600 at a hospital at http://BariatricPalHospitalMX.com

Dr. Ortiz is also a very well respected and experienced surgeon. His prices don’t make sense today. He operates out of a nice clinic too, not a full hospital. He quoted you for a revision when your surgery is definitely not considered one.

If you do use Dr. Pompa, send her my best. I like her.

By the way I literally had my lap-band removes yesterday and for a Mini Gastric Bypass.

Alex, what made you choose the mini-bypass over regular gastric bypass?

But back on topic: I had sleeve surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Garcia of Tijuana Bariatrics. I liked him, and had no complications, but I have not been wildly successful losing weight. I considering a revision surgery.
