I cannot recommend him and his staff and the whole A Lighter Me operation enough! My dad had vsg 3 years ago done by Dr. Ortiz and I had vsg 1 week ago by Dr. Ortiz. Highly recommend! A fellow sleever who was in mexico same time as I was was from Alaska as well. She came without a companion because airfare was so expensive but they took such good care of her! I can answer any questions you may have.
I'm thinking of using Dr. Mario. Why do you wish you went with the other Dr? Actually I'm thinking of going with either of these 2 drs. Dr Mario is $500 cheaper. I'd love your feedback. Thanks
I am going alone. I am as ready as I can be, I suppose. I am on liquids now. 
4\22\17???? How exciting! I am really happy for you. Are you ready to go? I am looking at trying to schedule my surgery ASAP too. I just need to figure out this whole financing thing and I am there!
Are you ready? Are you going alone or bringing somebody?
I will think of you in 4 days.
Hugs.

I am having a revision from VSG to DS by Dr Esquerra 4/22. I took a small personal loan out. I was saving anyway, so I didn't take the whole amount out. I was originaly planning on having this done in June, but we lost a couple of people at work and I knew I would not be able to take off for more than a couple of days.
I would think that if you are at 705, you should be able to get a loan. It may wind up having to be secured maybe with a vehicle, but I certainly think you will have some options.
I am headed there this Friday. I am using Dr Esquerra and having a revision from VSG to DS. Wish me luck!
Hello all!! I am new here. I had a gastric sleeve performed 5 years ago. But this Saturday I am scheduled to have Revision of the sleeve and DS with Dr Esquerra at Mexicali Bariatric Center.
Just curious if anyone else has been there or had this same thing performed.
My original sleeve was performed by Dr Garcia in TJ. He did an awesome job. I just gained about half of my weight back over the last 12-18 months. I am not going back to Dr Garcia because they like to convert from VSG to RNY. But, I really wanted the DS.
Anyway, glad to have found this forum. Thanks for any and all input :)
