after 3 wls in Mexico,with three surgeons,the only group I recommend is Mexicali Bariatrics. Good luck.

I am researching doctors in Mexico and someone suggested this forum to me.

Has anyone used Dr. Pasten?

Has anybody had surgery at Mexico Bariatrics Center with Dr. Ismael Cabrera? Good or Bad reviews. Thanks

Robin,

you are in good hands with Dr. A! Remember to walk as soon as possible after you wake up. It really helps relieve any gas buildup in your abdominal cavity!

I went to Endospa the day after surgery. My experience was not perfect. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis. The masseuse didn't speak much English. She was very rough. I said "Ouch" but it didn't help.

Mid you are going to try it be clear about what you want when you speak with the English speaker. Then she can translate for you!

I will keep you posted! If you have any questions please send them my way! Good luck and safe travels ??

I had the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy in Piedras Negras, Mexico with Dr. Alvarez at Endobariatric. My experience was flawless.

I started the pre-op diet 10 days prior to surgery. I thought it would be tricky because we would be traveling to my daughter's wedding in New Orleans. It went by without a hitch!

From there I flew to San Antonio where I was picked up by Rosy, the driver for Endobariatric. She was great. There were only two of us that day for surgery so we felt like we got special attention ð?'??

once we arrived in Piedras Negras we were taken to our hotel which was top notch! Very new and nice. We were treated very well.

The next morning was surgery day! We were transported to the hospital which was immaculate and well run. Everyone was professional and friendly. I didn't feel nervous or worried at any point.

Dr. Alvarez is a surgeon of excellence and his work proves it. My surgery went very well. Little to no pain and no complications. If I needed something the nurse was there within two minutes!

The day after surgery I returned to the hotel. There was 24 hour nursing care there as well. Dr. Alvarez came to check on me as well.

The next day I was taken back to San Antonio and put up in a nice hotel.

My experience was textbook perfect! I cannot say enough good about Dr.Alvarez and the staff at Endobariatric! Aftercare is as important as the surgery and they are there to answer any and all questions I have. I've emailed Dr. Alvarez and had answers within two hours! Susan George was indispensable as well.

if you are wondering about surgery in Mexico, look into Endobariatric. I feel they are the best.
