Hello smf8396, I am new to this forum. I am in the process of trying to find a good surgeon for a reasonable cost in Mexico and I would so appreciate any advice. I was going to go with DR. Ortiz at OCC but he is almost $6600 and on top of that I would have to pay for airfare. So, my next attempt is to contact Dr. Fernando Garcia whom I have heard a lot about. I see that you went to him. Could you please advise me if he is a good doctor to go to and a little bit of info regarding your experience? Thanks so much!

As far as I can detect from my own research the size of the stomach left has been reduced over time so doctors may have left more of the stomach say 5 years ago they would not today. I haven't heard of doctors just not following the Bougie but I suppose anything is possible I would think they would try to make the surgery as routine as possible for better success rates.
Thanks for sharing and I am going to send a request on FB I really need to find some people in this community I can communicate with I am having the sleeve done next Tuesday and not sure what I am feeling about it lol. I am actually a little concerned I have only lost like 3 pounds on my pre-op diet and I have done what I was instructed to do. I have lost some weight since deciding to get the surgery I started at 262 and I am at 241 today. Idk I am sure it will all be fine.
I should be there around same time, VGS
Hi!! How are you doing after your resleeve? Have you lost any weight? I'm asking because I will be getting resleeved next month and I'm scared I won't lose weight. That is one of my main concerns. I hope you doing well :)
