Also would like to know which Dr. in Mexico do you think has the most experience with this type surgery? 

Is this surgery more expensive than the VSG surgery? 

Thanks

I would do a little more research on the MGB itself. When I was researching I did not find it to be a good option. I learned that the part that is "left out" or not done is really really important to prevent future problems. 

The centers of excellence in the US do not perform the MGB, one doctor in the US is the one promoting the MGB heavily and he provides the statistics for the procedure so really no one else to compare it too.  

Most surgeons in Mexico will not do it either, this raised a red flag too.

Just my 2 cents, I research extensively before deciding on a procedure and a surgeon.  My sister is now getting ready to be sleeves so I am back online helping her.

dr pompa does the mgb but she also does all the other kind of wls as well and there are 2 docs in the us who do them 1 in nevada and 1 in florida
with dr pomap it was another 1500.00 or so $ for the mini by pass and then the rny was 100 or so more then the mgb
