Has anyone gone through weight loss team in PV Mexico? Can you share your experience, looking for info.
I would put Dr Pompa and Limarp on the list to consider. We have had three family members use their services and have been beyond impressed. Dr Pompa served residency time at the Mayo clinic and the hospital is ICB certified.
We go to TJ a few times a year to pick up many of the family's prescriptions and supplements.
The pharmacy at the medical building at Boulevard Agua Caliente # 4558 works with all the Drs in the building and will get things they do not have on hand as well.
My Sister went to TJ, to Limarp for her VGS, and a year later my mother and brother in law followed and had the sleeve done.
Folks in Sacramento, where they live, went all kinds of wild eyed crazy about "Going to MEXICO???!!!"
She had a list of facts about the clinic and the surgeon and the staff and their qualifications to calm concerned friends. Some people just were going to be hysterical about it no matter what, but the phrase "residency at the Mayo clinic" and "ICE Certification" calms most of them down pretty quick.
Put together a punch list of your Dr's qualifications and it will help all the concerned friends and family.
My experience with him and his staff was excellent. I went with my friend and we both had gastric sleeves. We decided on ambi and Joffe because he came highly recommended by a friend. He also spke with our family doctors before he cleared us for surgery.
When we got to Guadalajara, driver picked us up from airport and took us to hospital. Dr. Joffe was waiting there to admit us (we each got a medium sized suite.) Hospital very impressive. Anesthetist and internist did pre-op appointments with us. Surgery next morning went great. He found and fixed a hiatal hernia during my surgery. There was no extra charge. I was in pain for a day afterwards but got drugs. My friend didn't have much pain. Dr. Joffe and his staff checked on us several times a day. Very professional and caring. He gave us DVDs of our surgeries to take back to our fam docs.
After 3 nights in hospital we were taken to hotel (5 star). He came to hotel every day and called us down to meet him in the lobby area. He made sure we were fine and went through post-op instructions. Recovery was quite good. Dr. Joffe followed up regularly via email to ask how we're doing.
It's been over a year since surgery. I've lost all my extra weight and am keeping it off. Other people I know who went other places for sleeves (and paid less than I did) lost weight but then regained. My friend and I have had success and no issues. My sister in law has since gone to Dr. Joffe to have a sleeve also. She did great.
I highly recommend Dr. Joffe.
Good luck on your research Cali, tell the girls at Quality Medical or Doctor Camelo hello from Terry from Temecula, California! They better remember me :-)

Hi Becca! When did you have your surgery? Mine was in May, I'm down almost 70 lbs. Doctor Camelo was great and so was everyone at the hospital, loved them. Did you stay at the recovery hotel there at the hospital? Both Veronica and Cynthya are in the support group, were they your coordinators? You should join, you'll love it. Look for Quality Medical Facilitators in Facebook and ask to join the group. Send me a message and I'll give you all the info., I don't see a lot Dr. Camelo's patients post here, this is exciting.
I also had surgery with Dr Camelo!!!! love him!!!!!
