Hi,
I was wondering if you guys have any experience with Mexicali bariatrics center?
I checked their website out and find it strange that you can just book your surgery from the website...
do they not require you to see the doctors ahead of time? how does it work exactly?
Also, how much do they charge for VSG or DS? i might have to pay for it myself, so I am looking into some options..
most ppl who have to go to MX for surgery can't go for a consult and then go back for the surgery dovthe consult is gone online and by email.
they are the only ones who can tell you the cost, which they are glad to do with no obligation on your part to schedule surgery.
by the way, Mexicali Bariatrics is the only group in MX I recommend after having three surgeries on the area.

I hope you are able to gather the funds and all goes well.
CareCredit.com is one I often see used
0% Intro APR credit card maybe?
I was a self pay in Mexico but cash pay for both my WLS and plastics (which is why I have a 1997 fingers-crossed-it-lasts-many-more-years vehicle) both great experiences wishing you the same.
I used www.beliteweight.com - they offer in-house financing. I had to make a deposit and provide a down-payment (based on credit) and then paying the rest off in monthly installments ~ about 2 years. Granted you have to use the surgeons that have partnered with them, but I have had excellent success. I had a VSG to RNY revision in March 2016 & have lost 145 pounds & have been maintaining for about 4-6 months. No complications post-op and they were great to work with.

My credit was crap (~680) so my only option for an unsecured loan was through Lending USA. With your credit being a lot higher than mine I would think you would have better options. I had quite a few that would have let me use my car as collateral for a secured loan but that freaked me out. It's not that I'm not planning to pay my loan back, of course I am planning on it, but anything could happen & I don't want to have to worry that I might have my car taken from me. So for me getting the unsecured loan was the best choice.
Congrats, July 5th is so close. My date is set for 10/30. I can't wait. Keep us up to date on your progress.
I started doing my research in May. I was looking for a surgeon in Mexico for the sleeve. I ended up choosing Dr. Ariel Ortiz. His credentials are good and when you book the surgery, you book directly with his staff. There is a ton of information about him, his staff, and the procedures he does on his Obesity Control Center website. My surgery is scheduled for July 5th, so I'm getting closer.
He was at the top of my list until I looked at the Mexico Board Certified Bariatric Surgeon list and his name or hospital isn't on there. Kind of bums me out. It says he is board certified on his site but I cannot verify it. Unless I am missing something?
That's the problem I am running into...lots of things on the site that you can verify that turn out to be untrue. I don't understand the point of lying on a website when it can be verified to be untrue. Bill and Alex have not impressed me and I read on another forum that there were some sexual assault allegations with Omar.
