Mexico

I will be having the VSG on October 8th in Juarez,Mexico with Dr Rodriguez, im getting sacred the closer the date gets, have anyone went and had their procedure in another Country and came out great. Pls share

Hiya!

I haven't had mine yet (2 more weeks) but I hear ya on the going to another country thing. I am nervous, but I am confident in my decision.

It's a scary thing to have surgery, let alone in a foreign country where we can't drink the water...lol
BUT MANY and I mean MANY people love Dr Rod and Dr Aceves. I am sure that you have done your research and just know that you will be in good hands.

I'm sure some people who have actually HAD their surgery will chime in but I just wanted to tell you that your not alone in your fears.

Yes,  you are so right.....i had done soooooo much research i made my head hurt lol, but i am confident now and extremely excited, and pls keep me posted on ur surgery, ima  keep everyone posted on my progress.

I went to Mexicali to Dr Aceves.
30 AUG I drove 8.5 hours to SD airport I was picked up and driven to Mexicali
30AUG dropped at hotel
31AUG PICKED UP AND TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
31AUG I had my pre op and surgery
03SEP driven to airport
03SEP I drove myself home 8.5 hours

The doctors were great, Their support team was fantastic. I would definitely recommend Dr Aceves

Good luck to you. You will be great

Oh good, really great to here someone already went thru the process that im about to go thru, this makes me sooo happy and looking foward, and i believe in my heart ima be in good hands

I had my surgery in Mexico in November of 2008 and I'm still doing great!  I would do it all over again!  Good luck and have a great journey!

I too had surgery in Mexico in April 2010 and am doing fantastic. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I have never felt as good as I do now.

Best of luck! You will be on the loser's bench so we will slide over.

how we came out is pretty much due to what surgeon we had and in what hospital. I have never heard of the surgeon you mention - and, is it done in a hospital?

having it done in another country is like having it done in this one: you might get a good surgeon, you might not.

 I would strongly recommend you ask WasaBubbleButt who is an RN and has done a LOT of research.

my surgeon was excellent and I was very comfortable in a wonderful, clean hospital. I hope for the same for you!

Guys thank you soooo much for ur honestly i cant wait to post the pictures of me

I went to Mexico and had a great surgery experience.  Fantastic doctor and staff plus the hospital was cleaner and the nurses more attentive than some hospitals I have been in the states.  Good luck on your surgery!!!
