I don't blame you for being uncomfortable with that at all.  I am going with Dr. Kelly and am VERY confident in my decision.  There is no deposit, but I will be sending a picture of the checks to the coordinator that are made out to the hospital and the Dr. to ensure that I have them made out correctly.

What a great and helpful summary of your experience! I go in on Monday here in NJ and feel better for having seen how detailed your post is. It helping to ease my anxiety! Best of luck on the losers bench.

So happy for you! I too am considering using Dr Lopez and Vida. I am a nurse and am most worried about the quality of the hospital and patient outcomes. My spouse plans on traveling with me. He is worried about the safety of Tijuana but I told him that New Orleans is just as dangerous and we visit there yearly. Anything you can offer to put us at ease would be appreciated!!

Same here, I am thinking about the VSG and thinking about March as well. I am expecting to have a decision made by end of month.  So I'll let you know what time in March and I would love to meet you and share support!

Heath, called me as well yesterday. I definitely felt as ease after he spoke to me and he has been a VSG patient as well.  My next step is to contact Dr. Kelly directly. Still a bit nervous about going to Mexico.  But I'll continue to do my research.  Good luck!

Definitely check out Dr.Kelly!

No deposit, no copy of my Credit Card

Dr.Kelly only does a few surgeries a day ... Where I think Almanza does like 10 .... Something to consider!  Dr. Kelly's bed-side manner is beyond excellent!

Topic: So many questions not enough answers!!

I have been looking for a surgeon in Mexico and I've narrowed it down to Dr. Almanza. My only problem is that people in the USA need to go through the middle man.... so I have heard of a1victory.com and weightlossagents.com. They pick you up in San Diego and take you to Tijuana and you have your preop labs and then surgery then you get sent to a hotel where they have medical staff there to attend your every need. But prior to all this you need to schedule the date of the procedure and you secure the date with a 250.00 deposit, I completely understand we need to pay a deposit.... but this is were they got me in order for me to pay my deposit I need to send them a front and back copy of the credit card im usng and of my id!??!?!?! I have never heard of that?? How can I trust a company that doesn't have an address or somebody who I have never heard of? HAS ANYONE USED WEIGHTLOSSAGNTS? HOW RELIABLE ARE THEY??? I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE SENDING THEM COPIES OF MY ID... HELP??!?!
