I had the lap band done in 2009 things were going o****il last summer when I had a slip. The dr. removed my fluid the slip resolved itself then it happen 3 more times in which the Dr. decided the band is no longer functional. I am now going to have a revision but getting pushed around by the doctors here in the US so I am headed to Mexico to self pay. I have done a lot of research and decided to go with Dr. Fernando Garcia in Tijuana. Can anyone who has had surgery with him please let me know how it went and what type of surgery you had. I obviously and SUPER nervous about going to Mexico for surgery.
Hi! I just had my surgery with Dr fernando Garcia through tijuana Bariatrics. Great experience!
Thanks for that..........I'm wondering if anyone has already gone thru without a passport, and if so, what happened.

I was told you must have a passport card or passport. You can probably expedite one so you can get it on time.
I'm leaving Mexicali at 7am and flying back to IL from San Diego. So it will be a long day.
Protein powder, broth?
Thanks.

I'm having surgery on June 24th and am nervous about reentering the States.
My surgery is in Mexicali at the Mexicali Bariatric Center.
The coordinator said there's never been anyone detained without a passport as long as you bring your birth certificate and your driver's license.
Does it really help to show that I've applied for a passport? (I haven't yet).
Thanks so much.

In November of 2007 I went to Ensenada Mexico and had RNY surgery. Dr. Martin Salvador has stayed in contact with me over the years and it was the best experience I ever had down there. YES I would do it again. Now, almost 8 yrs later I want to say I did gain weight back. It isn't a magic solution. It feels like it is for the first few years but amazingly the body has a way of healing and adapting. I gained back up to 209 and had to do low carb high fat to lose back to where I am now at 174. If you have questions about my last seven years feel free to message me

I just came back had surgery on 06/03/15 with Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela. I had the RNY Bypass. So far I'm very pleased. I'm following up with my primary doc here. All you need is routine labs done and everything should be great.
Ok Everyone I'm one week post op and I feel great. I had surgery with Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela. She was awesome I have no complaints. Everything went as plan and I'm already back at work. The funny part about this whole adventure was the person the was the most scared for me to go was the person that had the most fun of all in Tijuana. (My Mom). I have meet so many nice people and formed so many new friendships. If I had to do it all over again yes I would, I would not change a thing!!
