Glad to hear it has finally worked out for you. I am 99.9% sure that is where I will be going. Which doctor did your surgery?
dr ungson did mine but he is no longer there. I would feel safe with any of the other surgeons.

Thank you. Can you tell me why Mexicali was your best experience. I am sorry it took you 3 tries to give you want you wanted. Which doctor did you have and what procedure?
I seem to get a better vibe from them which is strange when its only thru emails--haha. I guess I just need to justify in my own mind the price.
I had a VSG first in Tijuanawith dr almanza. It was fine but pretty low key.i went to Tijuana again and asked for a dS with dr ponce de Leon but he gave me a Sadi instead. I wanted the conversion to dS because even after being very well on plan, I couldn't lose any more weight after a few years.
i began having bile reflux after the Sadi and that is when a scope revealed it was a Sadi and not a true DS.
i went to Mexicalli to have the Sadi revised to a correct dS and I felt like I could trust them best to do the job.
I was not disappointed. That experience was most like what I have experienced in us hospitals for surgery.
if you have the money, use Mexicalli to begin with.you won't be sorry

I am looking at getting bypass. Comparing Doctors and prices. The price at Mexicali quoted at $9500 compared to in Tijuana $5799. That is a big difference. Can anyone tell why? I must be missing something.
In Tijuana, you stay at hospital then at a hotel to recover is that correct? I am thinking might be a bonus staying at hotel with nicer beds compared to hospital beds!! Get a better rest. Or do you feel put there and ignored?
Any doctor to recommend for bypass?
In Tijuana, do they do leak tests after surgery?
Does anyone know how many surgeries a day do these doctors do?
If anyone would like to give me personal advice here is my email [email protected] would love to here from you
yes, it is. Having had wls experience at two other facilities and two other surgeons, Mexicalli was by far the best experience.

I am looking into Mexicali bariatric for the bypass surgery. They are about $4000 more than places in Tijuana. I can't understand why such a big difference in price.
Thank you so much I actually considered him but with with someone else. Thank u again for your response.
Maytorena and the JL Prado Surgical Center. Maytorena's coordinator, Ruben, has great things to say about what their new amenities are like and he sounds legit in talking about the surgical center dates not being available. However I learned that he was telling lies (I verified for myself by talking to the owner of the surgical center). I just did not feel as comfortable after that. I was also warned about their patients being turned away from the other facilities if another more important surgery came in. I asked Ruben about that possibility and he said the other facilities have other surgeons that do the same surgeries there and they don't like the fact Dr. Maytorena does them for such a small amount.
Please note that I am not talking bad about Dr. Maytorena. He was highly recommended. But the recommendation including the use of JL Prado and their recovery house.
May I ask what Doctor, because I have a surgery scheduled for February 25 in tijuana. Just want to make sure it's not the same MD
