Topic: Close to Choosing a Dr for my Sleeve

I have been studying options for a while now and have reduced my options to 3 Doctors. All have seem to have excellent track records.

The one thing I am having trouble with is that is almost impossible to find negative reviews from people that have been to Mexico for Bariatric surgery. As a matter of fact I have trouble finding negative reviews of Doctors in the US on this subject. Do the people that have had issues just not write about it. Seems strange.

I am also curious about facilitators. Are these independent people that work for multiple clinic and Doctors or do they work for a specific clinic? I am contacting clinic now via there websites. Is there a better way to do this?

I have narrowed my search to 3 Doctors. I know there are many more qualified Doctor but you have to start somewhere. I would appreciate any feedback the group could offer.

Dr Fernando Garcia- Great pricing and review.

Dr Ramos Kelly - Not sure about his price yet but again great reviews.

Dr Wilhelmy in Mexicali - Great reviews but I cannot figure out why he seems to be so much more expensive than the others.

Thanks in advance.

I was sleeved in TJ on June 22nd. No problems what so ever. Everyone was very nice. I walked around town and went and got my hair colored after surgery. I recommend Dr Garcia. :-)

I had my surgery July 18th in Juarez, Mexico and it was great!  Mall across the street along with all American Restaurants and Hotels.  I would do it all over again. My dad accompanied me but I would have felt safe had I gone alone.

Topic: Successful Surgery!!

I had my surgery July 18th.  It was everything I expected.  All the research I did prior to the surgery was true to form.  The hospital and staff in Juarez, Mexico was outstanding!  I feel great. Very minimal pain just soreness from the incision. Dr. Rodriguez is a sweetheart. His entire team was fantastic. I wouldn't change a single thing about my experience.  Excited about the road ahead!

Topic: RE: Does anyone have any information on best revision doctors in Mexico

 

Though I have not had revision surgery, my doctor Dr. Juan Hidalgo in Puerto Vallarta has done many and I know he would be happy to answer any of your questions and get you in touch with some of his patients who have had the surgery.

 

Good luck!

I had mine done about a month and a half ago and I had the best time. I'm a young woman who traveled alone and I never had one worry. I had the surgery, made some new friends, and then went shopping. It was fabulous. The hotel was very safe and the drivers were super accommodating.

It's not that bad, although I don't know if I would walk around at night.  I had my sleeve done in October of last year.
