Topic: Successful Surgery!!

I had my surgery July 18th.  It was everything I expected.  All the research I did prior to the surgery was true to form.  The hospital and staff in Juarez, Mexico was outstanding!  I feel great. Very minimal pain just soreness from the incision. Dr. Rodriguez is a sweetheart. His entire team was fantastic. I wouldn't change a single thing about my experience.  Excited about the road ahead!

Though I have not had revision surgery, my doctor Dr. Juan Hidalgo in Puerto Vallarta has done many and I know he would be happy to answer any of your questions and get you in touch with some of his patients who have had the surgery.

 

Good luck!

I had mine done about a month and a half ago and I had the best time. I'm a young woman who traveled alone and I never had one worry. I had the surgery, made some new friends, and then went shopping. It was fabulous. The hotel was very safe and the drivers were super accommodating.

It's not that bad, although I don't know if I would walk around at night.  I had my sleeve done in October of last year.

Topic: RE: Difference between getting the sleeve done at Hosptial Angeles or Clinca San Juan

I'm sorry, I am 4 yrs out and can't answer your question.   I don't think my surgery was at either, although I think we had our xray of our stomachs done at Hospital Angeles and it was nice.   I did have Dr Kelly as my surgeon, and I LOVED him!    Good luck to you!

Hi I had my revision surgery with Dr. Jorge Maytorena with Long Term VSG this past July 13 so I'm 6days post op. I had to failed lap bands. I'm feeling great!!! I know how you feel this was my 5th surgery:( I did lose 115lbs with the first band before it slipped.

Hi I was sleeved in Tijuana on July 13 it was a good experience for me and my husband who went with me. My husband stayed in a hotel that he walked to and did some shopping and ate at the restaurants he really enjoyed it :)

Hi Y'all!! I am considering surgery in Tijuana and my friends and family are concerned that the town will not be safe. The town does have quite a reputation, but I tend to think people are overreacting. What were your experiences? I had an emergency band removal about two months ago. My current insurance does not cover bariatric services of any kind, so I'm on my own. I LOVED my band right up until the end and I simply refuse to get fat again. So, Mexico, here I come!!
