Topic: RE: Dr. Alvarez - Endobariatric.com

I went to another Dr in Tijuana, my experience was great. I pay for my VGS $4,000dlls+ air tickets+hotelroom+insurance but it definitely worth it. I do not need drains but It depends if you are having a revisional surgery, a OAGBP or other kind of procedure. I highly recomended my surgeon and his team. He have a profile here in obesity help (i took a few minutes to read the reviews) also i ask for the credentials and believe me he is a really really good option. look for him *Dr Ramos Kelly

Topic: alighterme, beliteweight, endobariatrics. etc.

Hello all.

I am just beginning my journey. I am a 31 year old male without insurance. My current weight is 365lbs and I am 5'9". That converts to a 53.9 BMI.

I live in New York and the cost for a self pay VSG procedure in the area and surround areas is $20,000+. Slightly cheaper in NJ but roughly still the same.

I have come across many different options regarding having the procedure done in MX, and the companies I see consistantly are alighterme, belitewight and endobariatrics.

When I search them on here, most of the posts that get returned are from 2013 and earlier. I am looking for more up to date information, and reviews.

Thank you all for your time.

No, not yet. I'm just now really starting into deeper research. I thought someone here might know from their experience.

Looking at using Tijuana bariatrics with Dr. Garcia. Just checking to see if they have procedures in place in case dire complications arise.Like do they have a trauma team? Or are they close to another major hospital where they can do a transfer if needed. Thanks!

Hi, no drains for me and the 2 others that had surgery that day. Option to stay longer, I guess would need to ask the coordinator, none of us ladies needed it and felt ready to go home as scheduled. In fact, we felt so good the next day we all took a spa day! The cost starts at 8900.00 and could be more depending on each individuals situation. Good luck! Dr A is amazing! And his team the best!!!

Hi,

Strongly considering Dr.A do you mind sharing cost? Did you have the option of staying longer? Does he use drains?

Thanks
