Mexican Weight Loss Surgery

Topic: RE: I see all the people here...
I had my VSG on September 21, 2012. I went through a lighter me. I choose Dr. Lopez and had my surgery in Puerto Vallarta. I'm almost a year out and at my last weigh in I am down 79lbs. I start at 244 and I'm down to 165!!!
Some people think I'm crazy for going to Mexico, but it was the best experience I've ever had and would do it again in a heartbeat.
I've started researching for plastic surgery and will for sure go to Mexico for that too.
Follow my journey on Youtube, I'm VSGJean.

Great to hear you have done so well. As a self pay and low(ish) BMI this is the only way I could have it done. I researched long and hard and have decided on Dr. Kelly on July 27th. I have the whole range of emotions but I am not one to dwell much on the negative. I am hoping to fall in love with my surgeon just as you have done ;-) But I happen to know mine is married to a lovely woman so maybe just a crush!
Take care,

But no one seems to be posting anything so I'll start. My name is Barbara and I had the VSG on 02/29/12 in Juarez, MX. My experience with Star Medica...what can I say but.....WONDERFUL! The facility was wonderful, the staff was great (even with the language barrier which I had no problem with at all) and my doctor, Dr. Jose Rodriguez ...well I'm in love with my surgeon..LOL! 
If there is anyone here that is thinking about going to MX to have surgery done, definitely do your research but I would recommend it to anyone that is having problems getting approved for US surgery or just needs to save some money being a self pay patient like myself.
Feel free to ask me anything..I'm an open book!!!
