I have vertical sleeve surgery scheduled in just under 30 days and I'm a little nervous. I'll be using the same Dr and Hospital you did in Juarez. Sure would appreciate any info/ tips/ advise you might have for me. Everything I have read has been positive but I Just don't want any surprises and would like to someone who has done it before I leave the good ole USA to have a surgery.

Hi everyone! Newbie here. Been researching WLS in Mexico. I like what I've seen so far from Dr Illan. I have two questions:
- Were there any unexpected costs? We would be driving to Mexico so we would not need taxi/uber.
- How was your pain controlled? I read about a physician who wanted $1k extra for a pain pump and wouldn't give any narcotics (even while inpatient) to control post-op pain
Thanks in advance for your replies!!

Has anyone heard of a doctor in Mexico performing this new procedure? It is sometimes referred to as the "sewing machine surgery" or "accordion procedure".
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?
I used Dr Quinones on April 26, 2017 for VSG and was treated with major care and respect by his staff at Pompeii - I fully recommend Pompeii.
I was hoping to find some others having gastric surgery at hospital Cer around May 25, 2017. I just wanted to make a few friends that will be there when I will. Thanks
I had the same experience and just walked away. I felt like they were incredibly shady.
Hi Curry
Yes it cover all the hospital expenses X-rays medical testing,Internal medicine evaluation oh and the hotel I staid on new city hotel in Tijuana (they book you the hotel)
You are wrong. I had posts deleted multiple times where I mentioned my surgeon's name and Alex even commented in one thread that he wouldn't allow it. As well, whenever I had my surgeon's name added to my profile it was deleted as were any reviews I wrote about him. So your statement "that is simply not true" is incorrect.
