  1. Hello! Congrats on your decision!

    Just be sure to find a surgeon in your area before going to Mexico to have the Lap Band surgery. Most American doctors won't touch a patient who was banded in Mexico. There are some, but they are few and far between. I only tell you this so you don't come back with the band and no one to take care of you or do your fills.

    Best wishes.

    Thanks!

    I'm still debating which procedure to go with. The Gastric Sleeve looks is where I'm leaning at the moment. Especially since there's a lot less follow up verse the Lap band aftercare.


  2. OK, this is always a controversial topic, so I am going to say this as gingerly as possible. You definitely should make the decision that is best for you, but it would be helpful if you did not make disparaging remarks about the doctors whom you do not prefer. I and several other people have used one or the other of the doctors whom you subtly critique. Beyond that, most of us are happy with our experience. I find your comments a bit obnoxious.

    That said, good luck with making your decision.

    My apologies! I didn't mean to offend anyone. Where did I make any disparaging remarks about any surgeons ? All I said was your surgeon operates out of a strip mall. It's the truth, isn't it ? I also read that there was an armed robbery in your surgeons recovery house. That in itself was a deal breaker for me. I want to be in a hospital, not a recovery house.

    I understand that there are individuals that can't afford the best surgeon money can buy in Mexico. That's why they're going to Mexico in the first place! I'm in the same boat but I've waited and saved up and I'm not willing to take any risks. I want the best!


  3. I researched for so long and finally decided to go with Baja med group. I an going thru www.mexicosurgerysolutions.com

    Vlogging everything on YouTube too at www.YouTube.com/shesstrangelynormal

    Thank you for your response. I was inquiring about the top Mexican surgeons. I don't care about coordinators or surgical booking services. Which surgeon are you using and why are you convinced they're the best ?


  4. I've decided to have my weight loss surgery in Mexico and I'm really excited. I've been saving up for surgery for almost two years now and I think this will be life changing for me.

    I've been reading through hundreds of posts the last few weeks and have done outside research as well. I'm price sensitive but I won't save a few dollars and have my Lap Band surgery done in a strip mall clinic (like Alamanza and Jerusalem Hospital) or use a surgeon that doesn't have a lot of experience (like Garcia and Lopez.) My life is definitely very valuable to me and I'm not willing to risk it!

    I've created my master Lap Band surgeon list and I'm thinking about using one of the following:

    • Dr. Alberto Aceves
    • Dr. Guillermo Alvarez
    • Dr. Ramos Kelly
    • Dr. Ariel Ortiz
    • dr. Ponce de leon
    • Dr. Liza Maria Pompa Gonzalez

    They all have amazing reputations according to everything I've read and researched. They also operate out of real hospitals and not out of a garage!

    Are there any other top top mexican surgeons I should be adding to my list for possible consideration ?
