I had my surgery last October with Dr. Fernando Garcia, tijuanabariatrics.com.  I had a great experience.  I actually have been corresponding with someone else on here who just had surgery with him a few weeks ago and she is doing well.  She had surgery at CER hospital.  Back when I had the surgery, he was doing them at a different hospital.  If you have questions, please feel free to ask.

Not to bad really. My stomach was a little growly, but ok overall.

I would recommend Dr. Jorge Maytorena.  I know of a lady who just had it done and he did wonderful on her.  I myself had the sleeve with great results.  

His price is great and he has a lot of experience in bariatric surgery.  This is the company that I used.....http://longtermvsg.com/

Okay, I had my surgery yesterday evening at at about 7 pm. Everything has been great so far.  Driver picked me up at the airport and brought me to the hospital. Went out for xrays, came back for ekg, and lab work. Everyone is super nice. Met all the Docs, like five of them. Nurses are very nice to,and they started my IV and got me prepped for surgery. I got here at 10:30 am and was on the table by 7 pm I think. I remember the the  anesthetist telling me to move up on the table and that was it.I have been up and walked five time so far This is to help with gas and reduce the chance of developing/throwing a blood clot. Only pain I have had is gas pain which is sharp and intermittent  It is bearable though and walking helps. I will post more later.

I had surgery in Mexico last October and this was my only huge concern.  Every insurance is different.  The only way you can find out is if you call and ask them, but I doubt they are going to be willing to pay if they don't cover the initial surgery.  I went ahead and did it anyway as this was a chance I was willing to take to be healthier.  Good luck to you.
