Topic: RE: Looking for Best Surgeons in Mexico??

Dr Rodolfo Wilhelmy of Mexicali Bariatrics, excellent!!! You pay a little more but you are in an good hospital for 3 nights and the nurses and care coordinators were always available. Dr Cambos is part of this group and he was awesome too, he even stopped by in the late evening to check in his patients!! I have had 2 other friends have procedures there and they have other friends *****ferred them.

Topic: RE: Is Mexicali Bariatric Center Worth the Money?

I just had a sleeve done last weds by Dr Wilhelmy at the Mexicali hospital Almater. I have several friends that went there all gave rave reviews and I agree with them so far. It was much more comforting to have nurses at all times. The facility was wonderful. I had trouble with gas pains, they were right there. I never had blood pressure issues but my pressure was high the first few days and being in a hospital situation was the best place. Very clean facility. Dr Campos was another Dr with the group and he stopped in several times a day to check on me. Mexicali also isn't as crime ridden as Tijuiana either. Glad I chose. Spend the extra money!!

Topic: RE: Anyone been to Florence Hospital?

The Florence Hospital is not the Oasis Hospital they are two different buildings. The Florence is an older Hospital, but has everything you will need and the staff are very good. As for the Hotel with the casino, I think they are referring to the Grand Hotel. It had casino built in the lobby, but the permits were never approved so or remains unopened and unused. It's a good hotel.

Topic: RE: Protein Question

I was just sleeved in Mexico 3 weeks ago. I brought a couple of my Premier protein shakes and had them in my checked bag. 

I didn't really use too many of them...after surgery I was only having small liquids. 

Hope that helps!

Topic: Has Anyone used Bariatricpal TeamMX or Mexico Bariatric Center?

I am wanting to have a VSG done in April or May and so far these two are my top contenders. I would appreciate any help.  I am also open to hearing experiences (good or bad) that anyone has had with any of the other doctors.

Thank you!
