answers to all your questions can be found by reading back through all the posts on this forum. I would suggest you start a list of all the surgeons mentioned in posts and see who is choosing the same surgeon most often and are pleased with their results. Good luck

I had my gastric sleeve done in Mexico on August 20th with Dr. A. Lopez at Specialized Bariatrics. I didn't have any struggles to be honest. It went very well and two days after surgery I was sight seeing and shopping in Tijuana. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone :)

Had my sleeve in MX on 11/4/14. All went smooth.. Only problem was language barrier...but for me that was a plus. I say it was a plus because that meant I was able to keep the same English speaking staff.

Hello, my experience in Mexico was very good, it was my first time there and different, but over all the staff Hospital was surprisingly very nice, What to expect 1. Brush up on Mexican languages the nurses for the most part are Mexican speaking. T.V is in Mexican Except 2 channels OR personal spoke pretty good English and were able to explain procedure to me. I recommend this to anybody considering this surgery. I have currently lost 44 lbs at 3 weeks post op. still feeling sluggish though. Hope this helps
