Which surgeons do you recommend in Tijuana, Mexico?

Hi everyone!

 

I'm new to the forum and stumbled across it while doing my research into the gastric sleeve surgery.

 

I'm 24 (25 in 2 months) and have been overweight since I was a child. At about 20, I was diagnosed with PCOS and have been gradually gaining weight since.

 

I've dieted multiple times. Each time I'd lose however, I'd gain it all back and more. Plus weightloss with PCOS is sooooooo hard. I'd always get demotivated after a couple of months. I was working so hard and I was seeing little-no results. Very frustrating!

 

So that's why I'm here.

 

I'm Jamaican, living in Jamaica. We currently do not have the facilities/the facilities here are fairly new. As a result, I've decided to have surgery in Tijuana. I'm hoping to get this done in May-June 2017.

 

Can you guys provide the names of doctors that you recommend?

 

So far, I've reached out to A Lighter Me. Which A Lighter Me doctor do you guys think is best?

I had my VSG with Dr. Fernando Garcia through Tijuana Bariatrics and I had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Garcia and his team. Feel free to message me with any questions you might have; I don't mind sharing my experience at all.

I had mine done my Sergio Verboonen in Cancun, but he has an office in Tijuana as well. I highly recommend him. It was over all a great experience.

I had the sleeve with Dr. Fernando Garcia, like some of the previous posters, and I couldn't be happier.  He is using a different hospital than when I had mine done (surgery date was 10/6/14), so my describing the hospital and facilities wouldn't be useful to you, but whomever you choose, good luck to you.
