Mexico Sleeves vs US

[Band07 374]

Seems like some of those sleeved in the US have more regain than those in Mexico ? What are your thoughts?

Also, anyone sleeved by Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez who has had long term success ?

I haven't heard about any differences in regain depending on where you do it. If anything matters to regain, it's probably the surgeon, not the location. But I think genetic differences and how well you stick to the diet are even more important than the surgeon.

I had my surgery in Mexico - Dr. Cordova at Hospital Angeles. I have absolutely no regrets about it. In fact, it was one of my best medical experiences in terms of how I was treated by the staff. I feel like they were really attentive and took good care of me. As long as you do your homework and choose a super experienced surgeon, why not save a few K?

I've never heard this either. Ultimate success is mostly dependent on your level of commitment to your program.

I was sleeved at Mexico Bariatric Center, Dr Christian Rodreguez Lopez in Tijuana. It was a near perfect experience. I also have heard that weight loss can be affected by the surgeon. If I remember right it was determined by how close to the sphincter they get and how well they shape the stomach. Only time will tell for me. I am almost 6 weeks post op and down 24 pounds. No complications. I went to Mexico because there was no insurance interference and of course in the USA I did not qualify due to not being obese enough or having other pre-existing conditions. Good luck in your decision.
