VSG on 02/02/18
Topic: Nerves, nerves, everywhere!

You guys. I finally scheduled my surgery for VSG for February 2018! I'm so excited! But of course, due to the location (mexico bariatrics) my sister and mom are furious! I shouldn't have told them, but figured out of respect for them and of course it being surgery, I would tell them. Not only that, but I also figured they'd listen to me and let them explain the extensive research I have done on the facilty! My surgery is with Dr. Valenzuela, and the coordinator has been phenomenal!

Someone calm my nerves, maybe? What is everyones experience? I have PCOS, so I'm doing this for a few reasons. One, to get rid of my PCOS (hopefully) and two, to learn to love myself again. Not that I need to explain myself to ANYONE besides me, but it's nice to have some insight.

I was in Star Medica in Juarez. I didn't choose it but it was the one I wanted because it is the hospital the US Embassy uses.

I arrived on Friday Afternoon and left Monday morning.

What doctor did you use?

I honestly didn't ask to talk to the doctor so I'm not sure if that would have been an issue.

Hi Tracy,

I am going thru the same thing as you I believe, trying to decide who to use as well as which operation to get. But to answer your question, I believe Baha Bariatrics is the name of his practice and Bariatric Pal MX is the company who coordinates and sales the surgery package for surgeries performed by Dr. Illan in Mexico. I think that's how it is.

There are so many out there it is hard to decide. I want to have a successful surgery as well as have a good experience.

Were you able to talk to your doctor before you made your first down payment? I have some questions for the doctor but I can't talk to him until after I make my first down payment. That seems strange to me.

I am considering Dr. Ilan for Gastric Sleeve surgery. Can someone explain to me the differences between the two services? They both offer surgery with Dr. Illan.

Thanks- Tracy
