You have made a terrific choice! As I have said time and time again Dr. Kelly is the best. You will be very happy with your decision! Linda

Hello, first time posting, long time lurker. :) I just spoke today with Heath, Dr. Kelly's patient coordinator. I'm so glad that I have done my research for many months and have narrowed down, or selected Dr. Ramos Kelly. I have a tentative surgery date of April 18, 2015. Heath informed me that the surgery will be at Clinica San Juan, so I too am seeking more information about this location. I found out from Heath that my husband, whom is joining me in my journey, will have to settle for recliner rather than a comfy bed to sleep in during my stay. Heath is trying to convince (someone) to get a cot or something for patient's travel companions. I do feel bad having my husband have to sleep on a reclining chair, so hopefully they'll figure something out before our trip. I was pleased to find out the cost is $4700, and no longer $5500 for Dr. Kelly. I did seek out Mexico Bariatric Center and submitted a health history questionnaire, which was approved within a few hours, but the communication with Debi after to select a few surgery dates took four days. At that, she gave me a few dates and requested a $500 deposit to hold the surgery date. It wasn't really a rude email, just short, and unenthusiastic in this huge life changing decision I've made. I'm 46 years young and have learned to totally trust my gut, so I got in touch with Dr. Kelly's PC, Heath. I have also worked in the health care industry for 20 years and KNOW how these types of decisions can consume someone. I didn't want to be just "another vsg patient" and that's the vibe I got through MBC. They are a middle man and I wanted to book directly with my surgeon, which I've been able to do with Dr. Kelly. I'm so excited!

Hi!
Has anyone heard of Long Term VSG in Tijuana? They have their sleeves at $2999…….too good to be true. PLEASE anyone let me know. Thanks
Hi Natalie! I am researching about Long Term VSG's for 2999. I found out that Dr. Illan is affiliated with them. Their prices are very low…..what have you found on Dr. Illan? thanks
Not the case for me and many others. He is lacking in communication if you need anything after the surgery and if you disagree at all, even on the slightest he may just become rude. He has done it to me and I have seen him do it to many others.
