Hi! 

Has anyone heard of Long Term VSG in Tijuana?  They have their sleeves at $2999…….too good to be true.  PLEASE anyone let me know.  Thanks

I went to TJ for my VSG almost 7 weeks ago .... I paid 5900.00. I didn't look for a surgeon by price, I looked for a surgeon who was highly qualified! Some surgeons down there do like 10 patients a day .... Umm no thanks!

Defineately look at their complication rates, how many surgeries they do, talk to others who have gone there, see what the package includes. Best of luck on your journey!

I agree! It definitely is too good to be true! I never heard of a price quoted that low. I would be very dubious and I know I wouldn't go that route. I researched the VSG surgeons for a couple of years before I chose Dr. Kelly. I was so happy with my choice. Good Luck!   Linda

Thanks everyone!! I been researching all this time, and everything seems to be fine.  One of their coordinators said it's a marketing strategy for their brand new facility. The doctors are well known.  I guess they are willing to lose a little for a few months…..dont' know.

Do you know the Dr.'s they work with? It's often easier to find reviews on the Dr.s themselves than on the business :)

I paid $4600 with Dr. Lopez at Vida Hospital, and had a wonderful experience with no complications.

That sounds like a great deal so long as everything else checks out! Ensure you pick the Dr. you want, and that there are no extra fees that aren't disclosed to you or in your contract.

Good luck!

I went to Juarez 12/16/2014 and I paid 6400.  I have never heard of a price that low.  I had good references for my surgeons and hospital.

Oops! Sorry I just read your other comment about marketing.

I'd be very scared of that price. I don't think the reputable Dr's could afford to do it at that price and keep you safe.
