Need help with deciding on Dr. in Mexico

Hi I think I researched enough that I am going to get the Gastric Sleeve done.  Now I need some  help in choosing the best Dr. for the surgery in Mexico.

Most of the prices are within the same amounts, take a few hundred dollars.


So please everyone.  Give me your thoughts.

Thanks for your help.

I think you may want to post this on the VSG forum.  A lot of times people mix it up with the VBG [vertical banded gastroplasty] the old stomach stapling surgery.  If its not a mistake posting on this VBG forum just excuse me and ignore the post!

thanks it was a mistake

Hi L.N.

Just wanted to reply to your post even though you posted on the wrong site.

Please look up midwesterngirl....it maybe spelled midwesterngrl...not sure anyway, she has posted on her profile very informative information on how to research a mexico dr.

She had a sleeve in Mexico as well and has really done her research. She also covers hotels, eating, travel you name it it's there.

Good Luck...

Guillermo Alvarez, Endobariatric  is the best. I had surgery on the 27th.  No naseua, no reflex and feel great.  Just can't sleep for some reason.

Guillermo Alvarez, Endobariatric  hands down!!!

I had VSG on 03/14/09 by Dr. Aceves and have/had no nausea/ reflx or pain. I found him to be very kind and compassioate and the hospital was very clean and modern and Mexicali was also very clean and almost like being in the states. I would highly recommend him and his asst. Dr. Campos (who brought my husband coffee he self brewed at his home every morning). I think you'll see from reading alot of posts that Dr. Alvarez, Dr. Aceves, Dr. Joya and maybe there is another 1-2 that ALOT of people have gone too and all come highly thought of. I think you'd be fine with any of them. I would base your decision on maybe price, air expense or what part of Mexico you would like to go too or how long your flight time will be from your home.  Good Luck in your decision and surgery.
