Topic: RE: Revision from sleeve to MGB best Dr Valenzuela or IIan

I had surgery in Tijuana but instead of flying (as I was in So Cal), I took Amtrak to San Diego where I was picked up at the main train station downtown by my surgeon's driver and then driven across the border to Hospitales Angeles for pre-op testing. MGB surgery was the following day. Everything went smoothly with surgery, travel, and post-op care & results. Good luck!

Topic: RE: Dr Q vs Dr Pompa vs Dr Illan

I had surgery at Hospitales Angeles Tijuana, which is the primary hospital of Tijuana. I was very well cared for and in the best place if a complication were to occur, but nothing unexpected happened; all went according to plan. I am healthier than I've been in a long time!

I've never heard of Dr Osuna so can't speak to his/her qualifications or results.

I hit my goal weight 7 months after surgery and have since lost even more pounds. I'm doing great and very happy I chose to go to MX for my mini gastric bypass. All comorbidities have resolved and the only medicine I take is for Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroiditis).

I have heard great things about Dr Quinnones in Tijuana. I know someone who had a good experience and hit their goal weight.

I am getting surgery at the Oasis Hosp as well. But if you google the name it doesn't come up as a weight loss surgery hosp. It comes up with "fraud" warnings for a cancer treatment center.

I am seeing Dr Osuna and that is the hospital she is using as well. I am going to ask my coordinator about that. Have you found any other info?

Looking for some reviews on any of the following:

  1. Dr. Francisco Contreras
  2. Oasis of Hope Hospital - Tijuana Mexico
  3. Renew Bariatrics - Tijuana Mexico

Thinking of booking surgery with them. I just want to be 100% sure I am not being scammed, or seeing a hack.
