Hello,

I am desperately trying to learn everything I can about surgeons in Mexico. It is very difficult to find specific information about their practices, how many issues their patients have, etc. I cannot even find any forums just listing doctors to avoid. I find this inconvenient. If anyone has horrible experiences with these doctors, I would love to know who they are so I can avoid them while I am making decisions. Of course, everyone's opinion of any doctor is different, but if there are real serious problems with any of them, I would like to know your opinion.

Hi, Im searching too! Some friends recommended me Dr. Maytorena in Tijuana, im searching about him right now and it says that Gastric Sleeve is $2,999.. I mean, its a very attractive price, but does someone else in here know more about it?

Im watching other patients experiences in his You Tube Channel and everyone seems very pleased, is he a good choice?

That will be no dout you will soon be talking it up on how you feel and your progress.

I do not know anything about revisions. But I would imagine that since you had the lap band that a revision wouldn't be as scary as revising from a sleeve to a switch or rny. So I would imagine nearly anyone that has experience doing sleeves and lap bands would be great. I am going to Dr. Fernando Garcia at Hospital Cer. He does all surgeries. I am going for the RNY. But I really think anyone that has exceptional experience in sleeves would be a good fit.
