So, maybe you are a whiny baby...maybe you aren't.  Bottom line is when it comes to YOUR health, YOUR well being, YOUR life...BE AS DAMN WHINY AS YOU WANT TO BE!!! If others don't like it, scroll on past and don't read the post! 

I personally THANK YOU for posting your experience.  I keep second guessing my decision to have the surgery here in the states instead of going the cheaper route in Mexico but thanks to your post, my decision is cemented!  I will "pay the $20,000 and have it your way."

i have gastric bypass in mexico on 4-23-15 it was the best thing i have ever done the dr was great the hospital was so good better care there than in the states no pain what so ever i was over 400 pounds i have lost 109 in less than 4 mo i feel like i have my lift back i would recommend it to anybody that needs it 

i have found zero negative comments anywhere about Dr Alvarez... Part of the reason I chose him. The prep phase, his coordinator, and the care they have provided thus far has been amazing. I fly out tomorrow morning to have my VSG with him Saturday. I will give you a full honest review by Tuesday, when I return home :) check out his YouTube channel too, Endobariatric, it is super informative. 

I am considering Dr Ariel Ortiz (Obesity Control Center) at Tijuana, MX.

I saw you message the other night about their pricing. I got a quota for Sleeves $6500 + $500 deposit Last year.

1. Could you please check to see if the doctor that gave you the quota for sleeve surgery $4600 + $500 deposit is the same doctor that I am looking for since there are two Dr Ortiz in MX doing the weight loss surgery,  Jesus Elias Ortiz is the other one.

2. If you have already gone for the surgery, could you please kindly tell me about your experience there? I am considering going there alone and I am kind of concern about so many things. and I am from Ocean side (California).

Thanks.
