Hi AK girl,

I hope this answers your question. I am having my surgery done by Dr. Guillermo Alvarez. When I received all my information in a gift box there was a break down off all the people on Dr. Alvarez's team. Dr. Gabriel Rosales name and information was in there. He is the surgical assistant that works along side Dr. Alvarez. If you want to see more about him check out Endobariatric.com. Now you might have to forgive me if there is another Dr. Gabriel Rosales out there. But the name jumped out at me because I just read his bio yesterday.

Hi Kim,

Dr. Enrique Arias is one of the world's finest and most experienced bariatric surgeons. He founded Obesity El Salvador and has done thousands of gastric bypass procedures. Although we have many excellent surgeons in our network, including in Tijuana, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, and Mexicali, we're currently running a special for Dr. Arias on bariatric procedures. You can find out about him and the sale here.

He's located in El Salvador, where prices are typically higher than Mexico, but with the sale, the price is comparable. If you only want to go to Mexico, we have doctors located in Mexico in our network, and all have been thoroughly credentialed and have reviews on our site. But you won't find a more qualified surgeon than Dr. Arias. Plus, we'll help you through the whole process at no charge as part of these sale packages.

Hi All -

I had Gastric Sleeve (US Doctor) in March 2013 and lost 85lbs at that time (60% of excess weight). Almost immediately I started regaining weight when I hit my lowest. Today, I find myself very unhappy and am researching Revision surgery to Gastric Bypass in Mexico because I am paying cash.

I spoke with Dr. Pompa in Tijuanna on Friday and was impressed with her over the phone but have not been successful in finding any recent reviews on her and specifically those targeted towards Gastric Bypass so I'm reaching out to this group for recommendations.

Who did you have Gastric Bypass surgery with, in Mexico? Would you trust them to do another surgery?

Thanks so much!

Kim

Thank you so much. I have been waiting on an answer from someone about this. I have found a doctor that will check on me. My primary is very old school, plus she is getting ready to retire. She wanted me to do on my own and like others I have had failure after failure. So all and all how do you feel? I know everyone is different and it comes down to following directions and how your body reacts. But do you feel well?

Hi Joyfulness-

One of my Sleeve Sisters drove her self home 3 hour drive 3rd day post op.... No one had any problems traveling post op ... Stitches are located in 5 areas with steri strips on top ... they should absorb and stern strips will fall off ... No worries with any traveling Dr.A and team have done this so many times they know how to care for all that can happen with your travel .... Nausea , gas pain ..etc

They give you meds and written guide along with emails explaining everything to expect .
