I am looking for anyone who has use this dr good or bad, i would like your input on a Dr. Jaimie Ponce DeLeon at the INT Hospital in Zona Rio area of Tijuana Mexico? I am considering him to do my VSG and would like to more info and opinions from others on him and the hospital too. Thanks

Hi, sorry I don't know anything about Dr. Ponce DeLeon but I wanted to say good luck to you.  I am from PEI and am seriously looking at Dr. Ramos Kelly in Tijuana.  I would really like to have surgery in September if all goes well.  Few medical issures to take care of here first.  When are you thinking of going to Mexico?

within the next 30 days.  I am kinda really excited  but nervious of the whole travle issue and going so far away from home

I know how you feel.  Are you travelling alone?

I had my "sleeve" with Dr. Ponce and am very pleased with it.  I have lost 30 pounds since the end of May.  He's a great surgeon.  I have known him for 6 years and very pleased with he and his staff.  The INT hospital is very clean with a great nursing staff.  I will be going on Sept. 9-12 if you are interested in joining us.

Hi I will be having surgery with Dr. DeLeon, next Monday. looking forward to it...don't know of anyone personally that went there, but I going there and being represented by  a Canadian company who will be going with me.
I can let you know then....

ANY UPDATES, I want to go to Mexico also. I hear its only $5000... is this true?

Just search this (Mexico) forum! There is a lot of info on most surgeons. I keep coming here to tell people my surgery WAS safe, the hospital was clean, Dr Kelly was wonderful, and I could NOT be more pleased. Seems that many who had their surgery done in the US sure are in a huge hurry to tell you that only the most expensive surgeons in MX are any good, or that you absolutely should not consider MX as an option. I know that there could be bad surgeons in MX, but there are plenty in the US as well. Look up reviews and testimonials from patients and you will see that many, many surgeons in MX get rave reviews, and that includes a lot in the $5000-7000 range. I know Dr Kelly is wonderful and is $5500 or so dependant on how booked he is, and also see that Dr Joya who is very well reviewed has a new price of $7000.
