  1. Hello, I just had the gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Kelly this past Wednesday (Jan 9,2013) and I booked through Christy at Mexico Bariatric. The surgery was performed at Mi Doctor Hospital. Let me say that my path to getting the surgery with Mexico Bariatric was relatively simple, I filled out the questionnaire on the Mexico Bariatric website after researching who I wanted to perform my surgery and was going to engage Dr. Cabrera. However the date I wanted wasn't available and Christy suggested I research Dr. Kelly. As it turns out he is more experienced and lettered in this field than my original choice. I then decided to book with Dr. Kelly through Christy, sent my deposit of $500 to reserve my date and paid the remaining $4500 prior to the actual event. While I was at Mi Hospital I was also with patients of Drs. Cabrera and Garcia they were on the third floor I was on the fourth floor. Dr. Kelly is highly skilled, super efficient, and the major difference I noticed when comparing notes with other patients is that Dr. Kelly doesn't use a drain while the patients of the Cabrera and Garcia all had drain tubes. I don't believe you will go wrong in choosing any of these three, I believe Kelly might be slightly more expensive but for my comfort level I gladly took on the extra cost. Mi Hospital is a small, relatively new facility. The operating room was top notch, my room was simple, clean and more than I expected by its modern look. Someone came through and cleaned my room, mopping, etc, every day. The nurses were all caring. Please do not expect them to all speak English, but pain is universal and easily understood so don't let that stand in your way. My entire experience including the top notch Marriott we stayed in was pleasurable. Christy was exceptionally helpful in assuaging any concerns I had about coming down there, I live in NYC but travel the country weekly for work so I have seen the good and the bad when you end up at an unexpected location or situation. What is all comes down to is I went with my gut and chose Mexico Bariatrics based on my research and thoughtful conversations with Christy about the experience I wanted to have. I'm 5 days out and down 9 pounds. I wish you the best in your choice.
