It's February of 2018 and I was just reading your comment I was wondering did you ever go with dr. Rodriguez and how has your life been after the surgery?

Do you have any regrets or any advice

Hello All,

Just wondering if anyone on here has heard of or tried Dr. Mario Almanza in Mexico through Bariatric Center? I'v schedule my surgery with them and just wanted some advice if anyone has some.

I haven't heard good things about her. I now know a few people that went to Dr. Grimaldi ( didn't know them when I originally did this post) I'm confident with my choice.

May I ask why you have your heart set on Grimaldi from Affordable? Just curious. FWIW, I just had a consultation with Dr. Pompa also in TJ. She said she does a lot of revisions and fixes a lot of other doctors work so she might be worth a consult. Her scheduling service Destination Medic. She offer free consultations and maybe you could win her giveaway surgery.

be careful with pompa. She is know, by, X-ray evidence , to give hour glass shaped sleeves which is bad.

How is it that you came to have 3 surgeries? Did the first 2 not work?? Gosh, I hope to have one surgery period. How do I avoid 3?

I had the sleeve first and it worked great. When trying to lose the last 50 pounds I needed to lost , I could not lost it not even being 95% on plan. I decided to convert to the DS which is actually the second part of the sleeve surgery.

That was number two surgery. Except the surgeon didn't give me a true sleeve. He gave me a hybrid surgery called a SADI or a SIPPS. It gave me side effects I couldldnt live with so I went back to a different surgeon to have that one revised to the correct one. Getting the correct one was number three.

Hi Rodrigovives,

How have you recovered since your surgery? I am considering using Dr Cuevo for a gastric sleeve. I am skeptical as I worry about fraudsters using the internet and not being able to view the facilities in person. You hear so many contradicting opinions of procedures in Mexico.

Regards :)

Topic: RE: Bariatric Mexico

I finally talked to my patient coordinator, he called me right away once I reached out on FB. I guess I was not calling his direct number. I am once again pleased with Bariatric Mexico and JC the paitent coordinator. I chose to go with Bariatric Mexico because they are located in Cabo San Lucas. My sister and her family have a beach house there and I have been. The location caters to american visitors and Hospital Hospiten is a first class facility.

No I didn't...I just couldn't look past the awful coordinator and the lies on the website. If you have nothing to hide, why lie?
