Topic: VGS may 22 with ALM.

I am scheduled to have a V G S procedure 5.22.15 with Dr Ortiz with ALM. Is it safe to go alone? What should I bring? Anyone's experience  with surgery in mexico would be greatly appreciated!

Research Dr. Ramos Kelly. Excellent surgeon. He has a Facebook page also.  Linda

I also saw bad comments about Dr Almanza. It sound like a factory and he does like 12 surgeries a day. I read an article by a guy named Steve that had a very bad experience with him. I plan on using Dr Ortiz at A Lighter Me. I have spoken to about 6 people who used him. I also chatted with him on his FB page. Good luck!

Yes but don't you wonder why ? It's because they are the best of the best and work from the best facilities that tend to cost more.  I'm spending all my time in an actual hospital and not a hotel.  You get what you pay for.  When it comes to a little lower cost surgeons maybe check out Ramos-Kelley or Dr. Illan Iv heard great things about them, though honestly I don't think Dr. Rodriguez changes that much for a sleeve, I'm having a revision to MGB for $7900 and he does in house financing as well.

The cost of the surgeons you recommended are so much higher than the others

I would go with Crovela or Whilmey, I didn't, I'm going with Rodruguez, but the first three were all on my list and I have not read one negative thing about Crovela or Whilmey.

Thanks for the feedback. I am looking into the hospitals and see how they deal with a serious emergency because I am unfamiliar with the MX medical care. I am reading all kinds of reviews from all over and am getting a clearer idea. I know it is easy to rule out some very quickly!

Some of the small hospitals seem more like surgical centers by US standards.

it looks like I am now down to Valenzuela, Garcia, A. Ortiz and Corvala coincidentally in ascending cost. The first two are 2K less than the others listed.

I used Ariel Ortiz for my band in Jan 2008. Lost about 200 pounds and haven't had any problems. Went back for a couple fills also. Great experience!
