I have just returned from Dr Hidalgo Bariatrics in Tijuana. I had a RNY in 2011(Mexico Puerto Vallarta) and due to stricture development my US surgeon wanted to revise to DS. My insurance only paid for the sleeve part of it. So under dr advice did revision with hopes of doing in 2 part(commonly done) so we went ahead with sleeve and gall bladder removed. Long story short only lost about 17 pounds(2018) of over 100 regain and insurance would not pay for part 2 to the full DS. Found out my old surgeon from PV partner had opened own practice in Tijuana: Dr Hidalgo Bariatrics. Contacted him and just completed the SADI -S revision. 2/10/23. Feel great, fantastic care. If you want a trusted surgeon contact him for revision. You can message me if want further details. He is on Facebook.
The first clinic I called said they don't do this revision but they do perform a revision to a distal RNY. A quick google tells me that the outcomes for a distal RNY aren't any better than a regular RNY, so I am still hoping to get the DS in the end.
try Mexicali bariatric, dr ungson.

I just had a revision from Lap Band to Sleeve 8/9/22 Go Light with Dr Z. They definitely do a full pre op testing before surgery.
I had a full panel blood work, chest CT scan, EKG, and they now preforms endoscopy before and after surgery. I was also sent to a specialist to have a endoscopy to check out my stomach and lap band before he did my surgery.
The sent my home with tow flash drives on from the Specialist of my endoscopy and one with my whole surgery.

I am looking at going to Mexico for revision from RNY to ???. I don't know what is best for me. But, my dr. won't do anything. I had original surgery 20 years ago and have gained about 70 of 110 lbs. back. I am so unhappy. I just need help getting some of this weight off. Thanks.
What can I do to help? I would be happy to give you the name of the group I went through and their phone number to call and set up something with Dr. Rod if you like.
I"m not sure why your surgeon will not do anything to help - that's so wrong.

Hi. Can anyone who used Endobariatrics Health Assist Financing tell me if you were approved or not approved? I have great credit, but my score has gone down a lot since I had to buy my daughter a car in my name, but she pays me for it. I also had to buy a new AC, but my husband pays me for that as well. I also have other debt from various credit cards which was fine until I had to add these two unexpected things. Do you know what credit score is their minimum or any info at all? I can't find anything on their website or Google reviews on them.
Thanks!

I had the DS done by Dr. Lopez in 2016. I had no problems and I lost 140 lbs. the entire experience was was excellent. The boutique hospital was immaculate & the staff were great.
Hi, did you ever have the DS? My son is researching and we're looking for a MX surgeon. Thank you!
