My bad. They didn't pay for my hotel in San Diego, though I see why you read it that way. I just went down a day before Ernesto's pick-up because I didn't like my flight options Monday morning.
I booked directly with Nina. I don't think I ever called, I did everything via email. I emailed from his website, which I believe is www.mexicalibariatric.com .
I think he does charge more for a high BMI. I think there was an extra $500 charge but is have to look at my paperwork. I was a 50.1 BMI when I first inquired but lost 35 pounds before surgery.

Oh, and his pre-op requirements can vary a little depending on your health history and BMI. My requirements were to do a 7 day pre-op diet of high Protein, lower fat, low carb. I didn't have to count calories. They do, however, encourage you to exercise and lose weight before surgery.
I have a YouTube channel (under this user name) where I talk at length about my experience there. I did a video after my pre-op tests, and one on each of the two days following surgery.

I had a great experience. I wasn't sure what to expect but the attention and care was better than I expected or have experienced here in the states. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
We flew out of Portland and it was about $230 a person. We spent the night in San Diego at the Sheraton Hotel and Marina, which was very nice. Ernesto picked us up from the hotel the next morning.

I had my sleeve 5 weeks ago. My total cost (excluding airfare and meals prior to surgery) was $8750. That cost included transportation to and from San Diego airport, one night at the hotel, all pre-op testing, surgery and three nights in the hospital.
His first name is Alberto and his website is www.mexicalibariatric.com

I had my sleeve 5 weeks ago and cannot recommend him enough. Everything about my experience exceeded my expectations. I was always well cared for and fully understood the process and what to expect. The entire staff was amazing and it was absolutely worth every penny.

I'm doing awesome, thanks. . I suspect based on my ever growing list of notes that my next video will be a long one again. *blush*
I've totally amped up my workouts, which is only possible because Dr. Aceves is such a fantastic surgeon.

I considered not having the last meal, but I'm glad I did. It helped me relax and it was a fond farewell to that part of my life. I had no issues with my surgery and felt shockingly fantastic despite the food I ate. That night is a really good memory for me.

There are 3 restaurants at Lucerna, too! We ate our entree in the Italian restaurant then went to the traditional restaurant for margaritas and Bananas Singapore (basically bananas foster made table side). Both were delicious and it was nice to just walk to the room after.

Dr. Aceves did my surgery 2.5 weeks ago and it was a fantastic experience. Everyone on his staff was incredible. I felt well cared for and the doctors checked on me multiple times a day. I am so pleased with my choice, it exceeded my already high expectations.

One thing that I used and was so happy to have with me was an extension cord that had three outlets. I plugged it in before my surgery, then I didn't have to bend over to plug my laptop cord or phone charger in. It helped all of my cords reached my bed, which was nice.
I packed pretty light (I think) and though I took nightgowns, pajama pants and pajama shorts, I preferred the pajama pants after surgery.

Same. I paid 8750 to have surgery a week ago. It was worth every penny to be in his care.
That being said, there are a lot of great surgeons in Mexico, you just have to find the right one for you.

Glad it went well! I arrive there on Monday!
