confused with Tijuana drs. cabrera garcia; fernando garcia; dr kelly help

I am confused I really need to just make a decision. I like Dr. Kelly but christy with Mexico bariatric center gave me quote on him and Dr. Garcia I don't see Dr.Garcia on their site. But alaina and Cecilia from wlsclinic said no one can get Dr.Kelly except her its false advertising but Dr Kelly doesn't do surgery at mi doctor he would do it at a smaller hospital through wlsclinic. So who is honest? So I went to alma at ready 4 a change with Dr. Fernando Garcia still at mi doctor hospital and that seemed good and legit but I thought drgarcia is the one with an asst I read about but that turns out to be through medical tourism I learner of Dr. Ismael cabrera Garcia with asst. Dr. Louisiana valenzuela Sanchez at mi doctor. I want to go to mi doctor I think but I'm confused on legitimacy and who is best for me thanks k

I guess my expectations may be different than some. Im going out of the country for surgery. I don't expect to hear from these people ever again unless I contact them specifically. Once I leave Mexico, I don't expect emails or phone calls. I expect to get what I'm paying for, and they will move on to the next group. As long as my surgery is performed well, I'll do the work and follow up regularly with my PCP. I wouldn't get much more than that in the states unless I paid for some bariatric docs extended program. I make it sound kindof back alley lol, not the way its meant but I guess I just see it as a way to get what I can't afford here.

I could have penned this myself 6 months ago. But after my experience there, and now 5 months out and some days clueless, I feel a tad differently. I do follow ups with my pcp but he doesn't know my specific nutritional needs, etc. Having a dietician or nutritionist to ask questions to would be very helpful.

I guess I feel adequately prepared between being in the med field, VST, and my own obsession with research. Continued luck to u MGM. : )

  • I was going to go with Dr. Kelly at one point then I found a website that compared the Dr's and saw that Dr Kelly lost privileges at many hospitals due to not using a drain. My opinion is that's dangerous practice. So I went with Dr Garcia. Just my thoughts. I can't find that website I saw that on.
