If you were not sleeved in Mexico and sent home did you get a refund?
Thank you all for the comments. I will keep you posted. I pray all goes well with your surgery and with my situation. I think things will get better. I didn't know there was a minimum blood level, becausr i would have never went until my blood count met the requirements. I have learned something and that is never pay everthing until you are there. Be safe in your travels and be Blessed.

Has anyone used Mexico Bariatric Center ?
I used them, but wasn't sleeved, I am trying to hold all comments until I see what the refund will be, since I didn't get a chest xray or an EKG and left the hotel early.

If you were not sleeved in Mexico and sent home did you get a refund?
Hello All, Some of you know, that after sending in my labs prior to going to Mexico I was cleared even though my blood count was 10.2. The day of surgery my surgeon did not preform the sleeve on me because my blood count was not the minimum of 12. I feel like doctors should put the care of their patient before anything else. My concern is that I paid extra for rooms, paid all the drivers to and from the hospital, like I would if I was talking a cab and paid my driver to cross the boarder to take me to the airport. This was supposed to be all included. My question is has anyone else been rejected and if so, did you get a refund?? I was told I was going to get a refund, but I haven't had any contact from time after call my US coordinator. I am with Mexcio Bariatric Center.

July Sleevers - Post Here!
Thank you. I am glad that Dr. Valenzuela is do very thorough. I am going to continue on my WLJ. If I could lose weight before surgery, then I can continue. I don't see food like I did. Cutting back really made me not want to over eat and fir me a regular size meal is over eating. I am still in Mexico and will leave Saturday instead of Monday. I have been here 5 days already and I am ready to start exercising and adding that protein that made me feel so much better. Overall, I had a great time here.

No Sleeve for me. I went to the hospital today and my blood count was too low. I appreciate Drs. Valenzuela and Cabrera for not doing a surgery on someone they were concerned about. Oddly enough, I am okay. Being healthy is best for me right now.

Coordinators in Mexico?
I am in TJ with my mom and sister and we have been treated like royalty. The men at the hotel have bern wonderful and the taxi that took me to Walmart waited an hour for me and didn't charge ne extra. There are good and bad in every city. I would come back again. I even went to the dentist who was a superstar.
