Anyone know Dr Verboonen Cancun



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used this Dr? I was thinking of Ortiz, but with all the violence on the boarder, I wanted to move away from boarder. Better yet, does anyone know someone in Central Florida that would do the surgery for under 10K? Found a few in the country but not in Florida, one in Denver, Detroit, TX. Would be grateful for any info...thanks, PB:smile:

I had my surgery done by dr. verboonen in Tijuana (I know he practices in Cancun as well) for $6,400, it went really well, I can only say good things from him, Dr. Ponce, their staff and facilities. Highly recommend them Good luck!!! : )

When did you have yours done? I see you went to TJ, it's very violent there now, did you go recently? Did you like the facilities? have you lost weight? I heard some negative things about him, but I don't want to go to TJ and would like to find a DR inland away from the boarder, Cancun seems to a good place, but that doesn't seem to be a good enough reason to choose a Dr. I'm getting a headache with all this.....thanks for the info PB

HI there...when I went there it was not bad at all (about 3 months ago) I was picked up in San Diego by a very nice American lady, the procedures are done at a fully equipped hospital, very nice, super clean. Tijuana did not seem anything like you would see in the news, the hospital is about 5 min. from the US/Mexico border. Both dr. verboonen and dr. Ponce de leon were great and sure I've been loosing weight gradually.

Hope this helps!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
