Cash is a good option for payment, have it with yourself for the traveling and as soon as you are admitted to the hospital and see your doctor, the payment can be made.

Has anyone seen Dr. Gerardo Garcia Alvarez in Cabo San Lucas? Any reviews or experiences to share with me? Thank you!

I chose A Lighter Me for my gastric bypass revision. I originally lost 150 lbs., but gained back approximately 60 pounds after 5 years. After extensive research, I decided to have my revision performed by A Lighter Me. Without a doubt, this was the worst decision of my life. After forking out over $6,000 cash one of the first things I was informed of when I got to Tajuana was that there was no guarantee that I would lose any weight. They don't bother informing you of this prior to payment. Although I have lost about 45 lbs. since the surgery my life has been a living hell. After I awoke from surgery I was told that an additional 2 feet of malabsorption were added. The additional 2 feet of malabsorption causes me to have AT LEAST 5 loose stools a day. I must plan any outings outside of my home to make sure there will be a toilet nearby. If there is not a toilet readily available I risk the chance of incontinence. The urge comes within a matter of minutes. The odor of the stools is unbearable. I was lucky enough to work at home after the surgery, but unfortunately, I was laid-off. I start a new job as a home health nurse tomorrow. I have no idea what type of embarrassment I will face. When I contacted, Dr. Ortiz, about this problem he simply stated, "take Imodium" an over the counter anti-diarrheal. This does not help at all.

If anybody is considering a revision I would seriously reconsider going to A Lighter Me. I now have no social life and have become a hermit.

Has anyone heard about or been to Dr. Manuel Garcia Garza in Monterrey, MX? He seems to have all the right credentials, uses a hospital BUT I can't much about him online. I still need to check youtube.

Great question. I hope to also see the answer.
