I almost went with Dr. Illan but decided to go with Dr. Manuel Garcia Garza. He is more expensive but is listed on the "bariatric center of excellence" website, so to me, it's worth it. I just booked my surgery for Dec. 14th. Super excited and can't sleep now. :) Dr. Illan looks good and the Oasis hospital looks very nice. I haven't heard of Dr. Zavalza.

Topic: RE: ANyone have complications from surg in Mexico and get help in the USA?

I had my surgery done in Mexico due to insurance not covering. I searched Docters all over the web. When I found Dr Guillermo Alvarez in Piedras Negras..I just knew he was my choice. You can see his site at Endobariatric.com I was so ready I really wasn't nervous at all. My sister drove with me to San Antionio Tx where you are then picked up and everything is handled, no worries...it really felt more like a vacation. My sister was so impressed with Dr A and team that now she has decided to go too. Also about finding a Dr if something were to go wrong..Dr A takes pride in his craft, he does not treat u like a number. He will answer any questions you have an stands by his work. I had the sleeve so there's no fills or really check ups needed unless u felt something was wrong..I'm less than 2 mo out and I feel great. ? Best of luck

Did you look at the Duodenal Switch as opposed to the RNY? Take a hard look at the switch, then, do what is right for you. the switch has a much better long term record.
