I'm considering having the gastric sleeve In Tijuana Mexico.. Is there any safety concerns I should be worried about? The weightlossagents proved transportation to and from the airport but I'm still a little nervous about being scammed of feeling unsafe

If you're willing to travel to Mexico , I would go with dr.alvarez . He seems amazing and so experienced . Honestly I want my sleeve with him so bad.. But I don't think in will be able to get to Mexico.

That's actually the Dr that I'm looking into.. I'm also worried about flying across country just a few days after surgery. My flight will be at least 7 to 8 hours without layovers.. Will I be able to make that kind of trip so quick?

From the stories I've read it seems like a lot of people are able to travel back rihr away. I wish he was here in America... It's just too far for me

Dr. Alvarez is not in Tijuana  if this is the Dr. you're interested in. He is about 2.5 hours from San Antonio and he provides the transportation as part of the fee. I had my surgery there in April . I traveled home by plane which took all day with lay overs. No problems. Would highly recommend ordering a wheelchair for your return flight...and all connections. This made the whole return trip much less stressful. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. Where is he located and did you fly in to Mexico or did the driver pick you up in the states and how was your stay there. Did you travel alone?

He is located in Peidras Neigras. This is about 2.5 hours south of San Antonio. Dr. Alvarez has a van that will pick you up and take you back. 

Dr. Alvarez and his team have everything so well organized. My stay was very stress free. The nurses are wonderful and there is always someone that speaks English if you have any questions. I traveled alone and was very comfortable in the hospital. Dr. Alvarez is wonderful , very kind and caring both during your stay and after you go home. He will keep up with your progress and is only a text or phone call away. Good luck!
