Which surgeons do you recommend in Tijuana, Mexico?
Hi everyone!
I'm new to the forum and stumbled across it while doing my research into the gastric sleeve surgery.
I'm 24 (25 in 2 months) and have been overweight since I was a child. At about 20, I was diagnosed with PCOS and have been gradually gaining weight since.
I've dieted multiple times. Each time I'd lose however, I'd gain it all back and more. Plus weightloss with PCOS is sooooooo hard. I'd always get demotivated after a couple of months. I was working so hard and I was seeing little-no results. Very frustrating!
So that's why I'm here.
I'm Jamaican, living in Jamaica. We currently do not have the facilities/the facilities here are fairly new. As a result, I've decided to have surgery in Tijuana. I'm hoping to get this done in May-June 2017.
Can you guys provide the names of doctors that you recommend?
So far, I've reached out to A Lighter Me. Which A Lighter Me doctor do you guys think is best?
I went through Mexico Bariatric Center and used dr. ponce de leon. all the drs there are amazing though
I had VSG 10/15/15 and im down 127 pounds as of yesterday morning!
HEIGHT 5'6" HW: 422.7 CW: 267.8 SURGERY DATE: 10/15/15 GW:160-170 VSG IN TIJUANA MEXICO WITH DR. JAIME PONCE DE LEON- REVISION TO RNY WITH DR. J. STEPHEN SCOTT, KS. 10/16/18
I had the sleeve with Dr. Fernando Garcia, like some of the previous posters, and I couldn't be happier. He is using a different hospital than when I had mine done (surgery date was 10/6/14), so my describing the hospital and facilities wouldn't be useful to you, but whomever you choose, good luck to you.
