I used Dr. Fernando Garcia of Tijuana Bariatrics (surgery date was 10/6/14) and I had the sleeve. I can barely see my scars and my sleeve is definitely still in full effect. Let me know if you want more info. Whomever you choose, good luck to you.
I actually got the Duodenal Switch. And like everyone with it, I'm very excited I got it. I did not want to ever deal with this issue again and the switch has the best long term effect. Never had a band or anything else. Yoyoed a lot though
Good luck!
So, u got the sleeve, did you have the lap band? I Think Good for you! Ok, I have to ask, how much was it?
The Mexican bariatric Center uses a hospital and the Dr Carrera claims to have done 5,000 surgeries. ..so, I think that is a great number. When I asked Dr. Sergio Quinones coordinator she said he's done 1,500 surgeries. Big difference!

I don't know anything about your Dr. Sorry, I went to Mexicali and the Mexicali Bariactric Center. And I would look at them. I wanted the best Drs and care in Mexico. I did not want to be stuck in a hotel. I wanted to be in a hospital. They are a bit more, but for Drs I trusted and and hospital stay, I paid a bit more.
I'm thinking of going with Mexico Bariatric Center, I want the sleeve. My lap band was removed June 8, 2016. What have you heard about them? Do you have any personal experience with any of the Drs? Did you get pain medicine to take with you when you got out of the hospital? THANK U, to all who might answer!!

Would like for you to post after you have your surgery. I am looking into the ds revision. Thanks
Thank you so much. I sure hope it was all for a great future, I am determined to keep going and doing things right. Soon, I hope it will all be just a distant memory.
Thanks so much

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I care what happend and so does others. On the bright side, you have a new life to look forward too.
A couple things...
- I just ask quietly for a seat belt extender and the flight attendants are always respectfully, but slipping it to me gracefully.
- Jet blue has the biggest seats as far as I can tell
- Before you leave (and check in), call the airline and see if you can get a seat where the middle seat is free
Hope this helps
