Well I admire your diligence and willingness to share your knowledge with others. Happy St. Patrick's day to you too

I can't tell you how thankful I am to have come across your post!!! You are wonderful!! Thank you so very much!

Rocky1, Do you mind if I ask who you decided on? You seem very knowledgeable about the topic.

Hi Samw, Thank you so much for the reply. I am encouraged by what I have seen and heard about Dr. Hidalogo. Do you pay for your food/ nutritional needs (because it's really not much in the way of food) at the hotel or is that part of the package? Did you pack your favorite protein powder or other stuff or just rely on what they had available? Was there a telephone available for you to use? Also, in terms of pre-op forms and paperwork; is it all in Spanish? It freaks me out to sign away my rights and not even know what it says!! Lol! I am considering one other Dr. In PVR- Dr. Castaneda. He operates at the same hospital and is at least $1000 more in cost (which is not a concern for me at this point) I just want the best experience!! Did you happen to look at him too? I wonder if it is higher because of the Medical Tourism corp. taking a cut? Thanks again for taking the time to help me! Christine

Hi, can you give me some more info about this Dr. and the process. I am interested as well about how the hotel compared to the pictures? Was it really nice? everything you expected? luxurious? I really want this part of things to be the least of my worries and don't want to be disappointed with the hotel and I'm kind of a brat about stuff like that.

CMQ Premiere Hospital/Dr. Castaneda is so far my first choice. Anyone have any experience with him or this hospital?

Thinking of you and wanting to check in. Hope you are well.

Hi Everyone! I'm looking for a Mexican surgeon who comes highly recommended in the Coastal areas of Mexico. I know that bariatric surgery is NO VACATION but I want my recovery time to be as enjoyable as possible. I'd like a 5star or equiv. hotel with access to the healthcare team/ special diet as well as a the surgery to occur at a state of the art hospital- NO Surgery Center. Ideally I would like to be within a reasonable distance from the airport so I'm not traveling by car for very long to or from the center. I would also be grateful for any recommendations of Medical Tourism Travel Insurance/ Complication Insurance. I am looking at the gastric sleeve now but am open to what the doctor feels is most appropriate for me. Thank you in advance.
