I am looking into Mexicali bariatric for the bypass surgery.  They are about $4000 more than places in Tijuana.  I can't understand why such a big difference in price.

Maytorena and the JL Prado Surgical Center. Maytorena's coordinator, Ruben, has great things to say about what their new amenities are like and he sounds legit in talking about the surgical center dates not being available. However I learned that he was telling lies (I verified for myself by talking to the owner of the surgical center). I just did not feel as comfortable after that. I was also warned about their patients being turned away from the other facilities if another more important surgery came in. I asked Ruben about that possibility and he said the other facilities have other surgeons that do the same surgeries there and they don't like the fact Dr. Maytorena does them for such a small amount.

Please note that I am not talking bad about Dr. Maytorena. He was highly recommended. But the recommendation including the use of JL Prado and their recovery house.

You have mail   

Thank you for the great detail. Helps ease my mind!  I too have chosen Dr Mario. My surgery date is Feb 14..

Just wondering how you are doing? Did you get Gerd?

hope to talk soon!

I also used Dr. Kelley back in October.  I do agree his office staff were young and inexperienced.  I had the surgery at the clinic.  I had no issues and neither did the other 2 women that had surgery the same day that I had mine.  I think my cost was just under $6000 for the surgery, travel for my self and spouse and her meals while we were there.  We also spent 2 days in San Diego prior to surgery. 

I would definitely look around and read the reviews, you tube videos are a good place to go too.
