Need help on planning my weight loss surgery in mexico

Any one who has experience in Mexico would be greatly appreciated I am hoping I can go this summer. it is my last chance at helping myself.

Excellent thank you , did you go through them?

that poster is working for the group she is presenting. Trolling for patients. 

Having had surgery In mx 3 times, the ONlY surgeon I now recommend I'd Dr. Gilberto Ungson in Mexicalli.

Hi, I'm scheduling with Dr. Valenzuela in Tijuana for July. I'm a travel nurse so that gives me time to finish my current contract and have a month in between contracts for recovery. I know if i don't do it now i will never have another opportunity. I have been researching for a while now and there are a lot of skilled and talented doctors there. Make sure you look at success rates and find reviews. Google them if you cant find them here in OH, they are out there. I think my total price was around 4600 not including flight and im almost certain i will have to have an additional charge for a hiatal hernia repair. I wish you the best and good luck

I am not even sure how to research this I have been reading the forums and the types of surgery but feel so very alone.

I started by obsessively reading the forums and paying attention to what names came up most often.  From there I narrowed it down to a few that seemed to stand out and started to focus on who did surgery where, what was included and then finally price.  I then started to reach out to those specific surgeons to discuss my situation and get a feel for how they responded to me and my questions and then I joined the FB groups to talk to specific patients and here their experiences.  Hope this helps, good luck ! 

I do not know how to go about it if someone could help with how they organised their research etc would be helpful ...........I have a brain injury and while I am very intelligent things like trying to sort this out are difficult for me. I do appreciate all the posts but need some specifics and help with how do i choose and organise this. I am sure some of you must have made spread sheets of research or something. Even more specifics on your experience would be good.  Thank you

Hi! Good Luck with your decision! I private messaged you with some info.  Linda :)

I had my sleeve in Tijuana with Dr. Lopez Corvala (at Hospital Angeles). It was a good experience & the nurses & doctors & staff were awesome. My comfort and healing was clearly top priority. My coordinator was Leslie and my coordinator at the hospital was Viridiana. Both are wonderful. They really go out of their way to make things work for you. 

I chose Dr. Lopez Corvala after a TON of research and I'm glad I went with him. That said, there are lots of wonderful surgeons in Mexico and hospitals that go out of their way to cater to traveling patients. 

Hi skippyroo,

Here are some profile links to surgeons our members post about in MX.  Read their profiles and check out the review tab on them. If you see anyone that looks interesting to you let us know at [email protected] and we can have the coordinator give you a call if you want.
