I used Dr. Fernando Garcia of Tijuana Bariatrics.  Sorry I can't give you info on the docs you asked about, but if you need any info on my doc, let me know.

Dr. Joya did my lap band surgery 10 years ago.  He is a wonderful surgeon and his staff were great.  The entire process from airport to hospital, hotel and back to airport went perfectly.  I highly recommend Dr. Joya and his staff.

I think Mexico can be far more safer then here in the U.S. because the surgeons do why more surgery then the surgeons in the u.s. but good luck and just remember their is no wrong way to go.

Hope the best for you what kind of surgery are you looking to have? I had a gastric sleeve and was the best thing I could have had done.

 I was looking into getting a bypass but I did not like that it was a malabsorbent surgery. Surgery I did not want to be having to get check all the time to see if I was alright. Hope the best to you and just to say Dr,Q was a great doc and did a excellent job on me and 2 other that were in the facility at the same time as me.

  Did anyone go with either Dr. Maytorena or Dr. Francisco Gonzalez? If so, how was your experience? Do you recommend them? I haven't found any bad comments and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.. HA!

 

Thank you,

Cynthia

Thank you. I have decided I will have a revision. I just don't know if I will have to wait longer to have it in a "safer" location like the US or if I will just bite the proverbial bullet and get it over with in Mexico..

Good luck in your process as well!

Believe me, I am very secure in my decisions and my ability to make said decisions for me. I was just voicing what folks are saying because, frankly, I AGREE to some extent..;)

 

All in all, I am leaning heavily toward Dr Q. I have filled out all the paperwork and awaiting his reply.

Great questions!  I don't have answers as I am still considering if I should have my revision done in Mexico.

 

I am wishing you the best!

Topic: looking for I.N.F.

O.k. well I have see a lot of people talk about Mexico does not accept any king of insurance witch it does not but on the other hand, my surgeon Dr,Quinones help people that just does not have the means to pay full with in house financing. I do not know if other places in Tijuana or in another part of Mexico does this or not. But I have in house financing and did not have very good credit I pay low payments a month. I joust wanted to let people know because if you were like me you really need the surgery and just do not have the means to pay in full. I think I might have seen someone talk about in house financing in another hospital as well but not sure whom they are or if they really do give this opportunity to help people. I just wanted to help you all that do not have the means to pay full there are other opportunity to get a healthier life. I am sure you all can find other places as well but I can only talk about my surgeon because I did not go to someone else so I really do not know. Hope this help a little and good luck to you all and your journey to a healthier life.

I as well had the same worries as you. I also researched just about all surgeon in Tijuana Mexico and found some really good one and not so good.But I guess that is everywhere. I went with Quinones for the same  I did not have the cash to get it done in the states and was looking into I.N.F. So I decided to check him out and went with him.He was great very down to earth and I loved the facility very clean.

I was very surprised being that it was in Mexico they treated me like one of their own fam members. They were on call at all times and I just so glad I decided to go with that surgeon. I could  say he was great from experience. Hope everything works out for you and wish the best for. Just remember that this is your life and no one can make up your mind for you. I have just had surgery not to long ago and already have
