Topic: RE: Need help on planning my weight loss surgery in mexico

I started by obsessively reading the forums and paying attention to what names came up most often.  From there I narrowed it down to a few that seemed to stand out and started to focus on who did surgery where, what was included and then finally price.  I then started to reach out to those specific surgeons to discuss my situation and get a feel for how they responded to me and my questions and then I joined the FB groups to talk to specific patients and here their experiences.  Hope this helps, good luck !

I am not even sure how to research this I have been reading the forums and the types of surgery but feel so very alone.

Hi, I'm scheduling with Dr. Valenzuela in Tijuana for July. I'm a travel nurse so that gives me time to finish my current contract and have a month in between contracts for recovery. I know if i don't do it now i will never have another opportunity. I have been researching for a while now and there are a lot of skilled and talented doctors there. Make sure you look at success rates and find reviews. Google them if you cant find them here in OH, they are out there. I think my total price was around 4600 not including flight and im almost certain i will have to have an additional charge for a hiatal hernia repair. I wish you the best and good luck
Every day is a gift...that's why it's called the present.

I am not sure about the other doctors.  I do know that Dr Alvarez, who I went to, uses titanium staples. He has a youtube video where he shows the brand he uses and demonstrates them. Search for Endobariatric on youtube. He has many videos but this one is listed  with his questions of the week. Good luck in your search.
