:tt1: Hi! I am looking for a good surgeon in Mexico. I am interested in the "medical tourism" program. Anyone have their procedure done with Dr. Arturo Rodriguez from Monterrey, Mexico. Thanks

My husband and I had our surgery on May 28. 2009 in Mexicali, Mexico. We had Dr. Aceves and his assistant, Dr. Campos. They were GREAT!!! We cannot say enough about this Doctor and the hospital along with the staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Aceves and his team. The area was pretty nice too and so was the hotel we were in the night before surgery, probably a 4 star or so. Everything was included in our package, except airfare and our last dinner the night before surgery. We paid $6950.00 each, but I have seen on this website (on the right side w/ advertisements) a special price of $6500.00. They are a little more expensive than some Doctors in Tijuana, but totally worth it. For more info. see my introduction and other posts or just ask me any questions you have.

I would love to speak with you about my experience in Mexico. My mom and I were banded this past March 30th by Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana. It was a great experience. Everything was as easy as they said it would be. The transportation was nice and the driver a sweetheart. The hotel was very nice and the staff amazing. The clinic and surgery experience went quickly and smoothly, better than any experience in the US thus far. Everything was clean. Everyone was nice. I still call the Dr's there for help and they are very helpful and genuinely concerned about me and wanting me to reach my goal. I am 29 and have lost 50.6 since March. My mom is 52 and has other health issues but she has lost 28 (I think) since surgery. Email me if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help. I wish I would have had someone to speak with prior to my surgery to set my mind at ease.

I had surgery in Monterrey, Mexico. Dr. Flores. Last time I saw him he was on his way to Miami to teach Bariatric doctors there how to do the procedure. He did his specialization in UT Health Science Center and has often fixed other doctor's problems. Also, my wife's uncle who owns a hospital in Monterrey recommended him. Here is a website where you can take a look. The only problem is I don't know how good his english is. I've always spoken to him in Spanish. "Centro de atenci

Let me know how it goes and what do you think. I am starting to think about going to Mexico to get it done but I am just really scared.

I am one week post op and things went very well. The hospital was clean & modern, the hotel was lovely.

the only funky thing was the pick up and drop off- the van driver was an idiot, stopping at McDonalds for himself. WTH? and dropping us off way too early.

I thought Dr. Kuri & his team were very good. People tend to gush and rave about their weightloss docs, and I am not that type. I paid and I expected good service, and got it. Very simple.

I would recommend him to a friend. I had my mother go with me, and I did think that was helpful, had I felt crummy- I felt ok, but it was nice to have company

      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.
