Has anyone been sleeved in Cancun? I am thinking it might be easier to fly into Cancun, and advice on surgeons, coordinators, prices etc would be wonderful! :)

Not sleeved in Cancun, but I flew into San Diego where I was picked up & crossed the border to Tijuana. It is literally 20 mins across the border!

That was with Dr Kelly.

Not sure where you are flying from, but it may be cheaper to fly to San Diego than Cancun?

Would I be able to email or converse with you? It looks like my choice is Mexico, and I am starting to get a little nervous.

Thanks,

Pam

I have my sleeve scheduled in Cancun for Jun16th with Dr.Sergio verboonen.

We're going a few days early, sort of a mini-vacation before the operation. I

will be happy to report all that happens if that helps to ease your mind.

I took a passport, but if Omar said you will be fine with birth certificate & drivers license I would trust him that it's enough!

They didn't even ask for any ID for me going into Mexico, it was just coming back into the USA that I had to show ID.

You have to have a passport to get back across the border. Google Mexico travel.

I used Dr. Perez in Cancun. Had a wonderful time and experience. It was easier for me to get to Cancun than any of the other Mexico locations, since I live in Florida. It was only 1 hr 15 mins by plane, it's 7 hrs to San Diego. I had my lapband in Tijuana with no problems 9 years ago so I have nothing bad to say about it, but if I had to choose between the two places Cancun would win everytime. It's gorgeous and so relaxing. My hotel room overlooked the ocean so it was nice to sit on the balcony after surgery and recuperate, plus the flight home was so quick.

Best of luck in your search :)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
