Thank you very much!  So glad I made this decision. I'm one week post op and I'm melting!!  Yay!

Any hints or ideas? I am thinking about medical tourism insurance in case of complications when I get home. I live up by Seattle WA. Did you buy extra insurance just for the surgery?

Thanks

Everywhere I look for info about WLS in Mexico people are super happy. Which is great!! But there must be people who have problems. Did you have a bad experiences? What things should I be on the look out for? Thanks!!

I am planning a band to sleeve revision in Tijuana. The idea of flying 3 days after surgery is not very appealing. How was your experience? I have considered staying an extra day in the hotel just to give myself a little more healing time. Would you have stayed an extra day if you could have?

There are many great surgeons in Mexico.  I used Long Term VSG and my surgeon was Dr. Jorge Maytorena.  He has years of doing surgery in Mexicali and is now doing them in Tijuana.  It seems the surgeries are cheaper in Tijuana as opposed to Mexicali.  Since Long Term VSG is a relatively new coordinating company, they have a special for the gastric sleeve.  Their price right now is $2999.  I am not sure how long that price will last though.  LT VSG was started by a group of excellent people (from my experience).  I was one of the first to use this company and my results and experience have been great. 

I can't offer feedback on the other surgeons as I didn't use them, but I can tell you that I have not heard anything negative about them either.  Good luck on your journey!!
