  1. Thank you for the photos. I am very seriously considering Dr Kelly.
  2. There is just so much information out there.I thought maybe starting a list....Please put the Doctor, city, the hospital, the hotel, days at hospital and days at hotel and the company you used.... I'm hoping this list will help us newbies in getting information in one place. Then we can all do our research on each. I keep reading and seeing more and more.....Thanks, I hope this list will help many people. Cindy
  3. Sorry I haven't responded lately. I've been so busy. I wanted to get this done this summer but I think more likely the first of next year. Daughter getting married, 2 cruises and running 2 home businesses...need more time to research. There's some very good information here and I will keep on reading for a while and taking notes. Thanks all. Cindy
  4. Again, thanks all. I have so much to look at. I'm really not reading anything too bad yet. As for price, under the 20 grand they want here, but care is what is most important. I want a few days in a hospital, a few days at a hotel, safe area, hospital not clinic, someone with lots of surgeries under their belt, only do a few a day. No deaths...least with complications, you know....what everyone else wants
  5. Thanks Kat, I too want a hospital to stay a few nights then atleast a hotel for a few more. I was looking at one in Juerez which I don't see anything so far on this board thru belightweight which I don't see mentioned here either. They are like in and out the same day. That scares me. It seems like Tiuana is the place to go. I have a lot more research to do yet and other website boards to read. Thanks for your imput.
  6. Absolutely I think talking to people. I am reading this board and will be reading others. I see different facilitators with the same drs and the same hospitals. What makes one better than the other? I've started a spread sheet type paper and am taking notes of the drs and hospitals etc. So far I'm hearing the most about Dr Garcia. I see he is under ready4change and alighterme and at Florence hopital and midoctor. I'm hearing more about Midoctor and alighterme. Where can I go to actually see their credentials, if they are posted, how do you know if they are for real? How do you find out how many surgeries they have done? how do you find out about a death or complications toll? I appreciate all your help. Cindy
  7. Hi, I'm new and researching. What is OCC and I saw where it was in the states? Any info please. Cindy
  8. I was looking into locally having the sleeve done here but my insurance won't pay. Been researching Mexico but am overwhelmed. I keep coming up with new fasilitators and doctors. Is there one website out there that lists all these companies, the doctors and their ratings etc? I've been reading all of these posts, most sound pretty good, but I'm kind of scared about the ones who are not talking. I was reading 1 post where it left off she was going in for surgery a few weeks ago and hasn't left another message. I feel like I'm going in circles trying to research. Thanks for any info you can offer, Cindy
