Thanks, I wouldn't have thought to try and approve the surgery in Mexico through my insurance ahead of time.

Topic: RE: Does your insurance cover any vsg complications that occured in Mexico?

Sorry for the late reply.Thanks so much for the info. My husband and I decided to go through the insurance process first and have it done in the U.S. I was really pushing for Mexico, but I can appreciate why it makes sense to try and have it here. I have my initial consult next Tuesday, and I will have to complete a six month supervised diet. So, let the waiting game begin. In the meantime, I'm trying to get as healthy as possible.  I'm 5'6" and 297lbs. so I have some room for weight loss beforehand.

 

Thanks again.

I had my sleeve done by Dr. Fernando Garcia, tijuanabariatrics.com, back in October last year.  I still have a little ways to go to get to goal but I could not be happier with the results.

Topic: A lighter Me

Anyone have experience with 'A lighter me' in Tijuana? Drs. Jesús Elías Ortiz Gómez, Jose Curiel or  Mariano Covarrubias? The use Tijuana Hospital Mi Doctor. It's hard to find reviews specific for these doctors. Any help will be appreciated!

Maybe join some of the Facebook & here VSG groups and ask if anyone else will be there at the same time and you ladies can help support one another during it?

I used Long Term VSG and my surgeon was Jorge Maytorena.  The best surgeon ever, nice facility and a spectacular price....$2999 all inclusive.  Good luck on your journey.

Hi and sorry for the late response.

I went with Dr. Maytorena and Long Term VSG.  They were wonderful and my results have been even better.  I went alone and they took super great care of me.  Most people are afraid to use them because they have a super low price but they use the best staples and have a quaint surgical facility that was perfect for me.  There aren't many bells and whistles, just great care at an affordable price.  I paid $2999 and no I am not trying to sell them to anyone, I only speak about what I know.  I have videos and a blog that you are welcome to check out.  My youtube channel is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS29vLDBZlwXAs_yITK8kdw and my blog is https://chrissygallegos.wordpress.com/.
