Topic: RE: Surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly?? Freaking out!!

I had surgery with Dr Ramos Kelly on 10/4/16.  I had the VSG at the San Juan Clinic.  My experience was very good.  His driver picked up up at the airport to take us to TJ, there were no issues crossing the border going or coming back into the US. 

The driver took us to the hospital to have our X-rays and blood work done and then to the hotel.  I though the hotel was nice there is part of it under construction but still not to bad.

The next day we were picked up and taken to the clinic, there were 3 surgery's that day, I was the last to go.  I was told from the time they took my back till they brought me back to my room was around 2 hours.  I was up and walking about an hour later.  The stay in the clinic was not bad, I had never had any type of surgery or spent any time in the hospital.  The nurses spoke some English, but not a lot. 

Had the surgery on Tuesday and on Thursday left the clinic went for the leak test, all was good no issues with any of us.  Then we were taken back to the hotel, it was early in the morning so we had to wait a while for our rooms to be ready. We left to go home Friday morning.

I was nervous as well, never having surgery and then having one in Mexico, its only been a month but I feel it was a good decision.

Hi, don't know that Dr. I had surgery Aug. 26 2016 with Dr Alvarez. If you haven't picked out a Dr yet please check his site out at endobriatric.com the surgery takes him 25-35 min. Then your done. Woke up from surgery great. No problems no pain. Everything is included with price. Except airfare to San Antonio, I drove because I'm in Houston. It really felt like a vacation. Everything was handled from the start. No regrets..best of luck to ya ?

Topic: Surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly?? Freaking out!!

Hey there!

  I am in the process of scheduling my sleeve surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly. I am having a ton of anxiety! I've read so may amazing things about him but a lot of it appears to be older and some of the more recent things have not been so great :/ the surgery in general is giving me lots of anxiety but I'm really trying to get this all figured out. Anyone have any insight?

Topic: Looking for recommends in Tijuana - Had Dr. Kuri for Lapband, recommend for Sleeve???

Had Dr. Kuri for Lapband  in 2008 and out in 2012 - just didn't work for me - looking at getting a gastric sleeve and wondering if Dr. Kuri is a good choice.  Would love any feedback on someone who has experience with him with the last year or so with a Sleeve.  Thanks so much!  Tractortilly

Topic: RE: A Lighter Me--please share your negative experiences with me

I am learning and looking into sleeve with Dr. Lopez @ ALO.  Can anyone tell me the good, bad and ugly with him and his facility? I have read few good reviews but can't seem to find out much at all.  I have read his official web page and other posts that seem to promote him.  I want the real deal, no fluff. Thanks!

Topic: RE: Does anyone have experience with Dr. Lopez's wife, Dr. Jacqueline Osuna?

yes she is totally beautiful and so professional and she will  your day wonderful! I had zero pain afterwards my surgery and zero pain after I got home recovery time was very quick and I never felt so safe in Tijuanna! The hospital was clean and very organized and my room was private with the best A+ nurses! Dr Osuna will take care of you and make you feel comfortable and peaceful! I was sleeved 2/2013 and I began at 211 now 142 and I'm 66 yrs old and never felt better in my life!
