Experience. It doesn't have to be the doctor who's done the MOST sleeves but I wanted someone who has done at LEAST a few thousand bariatric surgeries.

no negative reviews

how many surgeries they perform per day.. No more than six.

I chose a team so I've got TWO doctors working together on EVERY procedure

modern hospital

hospital stay time/time in mexico total. I didn't want a place that kicks you out the next day!

coordinator/booking agency has to be fabulous

Cost

Ease to get to

Lopez/Osuna?

Nope although I seriously considered them. I'm seeing Cabrera/Valenzuela They also practice out of MiDoctor in Tijuana. They met all my other criteria, but the price was a bit lower for Cabrera/Valenzuela.

What influenced me the most was speaking to actual patients of the surgeons. The fact that my surgeon (dr Ponce de Leon) has actually trained several of the others. The fact that he is confident enough in his work to give the patient a DVD of the actual surgery. And speaking to his coordinator trish, and hearing all the rave reviews of her. I went alone. So having someone there for me, to support me, and help me thru the process was just what I needed to make him the right surgeon for me. She was there for me every step of the way.

We'll be there at the same time. I'm scheduled for the 13th but may move it to the 12th depending on when I can get a flight! You're at MiDoctor hospital and then Marriott?

I've heard lots of good things about him! That is pretty cool that he gives you a DVD of the surgery! When I was researching surgeons there wasn't many on here at that time that went to Dr. Ponce. But over the months I've been reading more and more positive experiences! :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
