I am finally having my surgery!! I am scheduled for June 11 in Tijuana with Dr Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics. I have been talking with one of his patients who was sleeved 6 months ago and she had a really good experience. I'd love to hear your experiences, the good, bad, ugly and wonderful!!!
I have some fears of course. Pain, risk of blood transfusions (due to religious reasons I will not accept them), post op complications, or the procedure just not working at all. I guess these are all normal, and Karen (the coordinator for my surgery) has been stellar in answering my 100 questions. I would just like to hear from you guys, the ones that went through it. I appreciate all your input!
Hi! So I'm having surgery in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Valenzuela on April 23 (so excited!)
i was really hesitant at first with going to Tijuana for this, but I have heard so many testimonies and I have a good feeling about it. At first I was scheduled with Dr. Lopez, but I had a bad feeling and heard some bad things about him. I talked with one of the ladies at the bariatric center in Mexico about my worries and she recommended Dr. Valenzuela. I have no worries that I will have a good experience with her.
I can let you know how it goes in two weeks!
My family is really afraid of me going outside of the country to have surgery. I'm just needing some guidance as to who to use and where to go.
I'm scheduled with Dr. rod in 2 weeks, I'm freaking out about safety in Juarez, can others share their experience with this ?
Dr. Alvarez is awesome and the care is exceptional!
