mexico surgery?

[AshleySkinnyer 7]

I considered Jerusalem for about 30 seconds and then read too many poor reviews and I did not feel confidant that they could handle an emergency... I also chose Cabrera/valenzuela at MiDoctor' date=' I did read one bad review of MiDoctor (the person said toilets didn't flush, the nurses were inattentive, the smell of food from the kitchen was inappropriate for bariatric patients to have to smell, nurse couldn't draw blood properly, the hospital was too small and the person wound up walking out of the hospital and going to a different place. ) the one bad review just seemed such a contradiction to all the glowing reviews I've read about people experiences at Mi.... Now Jerusalem on the other hand, I've read threads with five or six people all saying the same negative things about it.[/quote']

You know...I read your post and a few others like it and cant find but one bad review on my own. I talk to two people on here that are now 2 weeks out both gitls went to Jerusalem Hosp. And both were very happy. SO...I am going to risk it and go. My date is 3/13 and Im paid up already. Scared?=Kinda; Worried ?= Totally; Doing it?=Hell YES! Ihave good health care here to cover the "What if's" and im gonna be strong and pray for the best!

I personally went to Mi hospital, Dr. Alejandro Lopez was my surgeon. I used A Lighter Me as coordinators, and I had an amazing experience!

ashley,

I I have been resurching for months now. I have found a few negative posts but nothing that anyone would ctime..onfirm..I think that if we go into this, knowing that it is a sergi center, it will be fine IF there is a big emergency, there are other

full service hospital close if needed.. I dont know about you, but here, they do sugeries in our sergi center all the time.

I am confident and good to go. who is your dr?? mine is Dr Abril, he does their weekend surgeries.. Now I am just waiting for time to fly by.. hope it hurries

If you can get your surgery at a full service hospital/clinic rather than a surgical assembly line in a strip mall (as reported on this forum by patients) for a comparable price by surgeons with not so many sketchy reviews.... Why wouldn't you?

Chiming in! I went to Almanza valentines day, if you'd like to hear my FIRST HAND experience, rather than hearsay, please feel free to msg me

[AmandaRaeLeo 2,145]

Smh... No one seems to mind a "hearsay" post if its complementary. Only when it's critical...

I had my sleeve done at Jerusalem Hospital with Dr. Mario Almanza on 9/22/2012. I have lost 55 lbs. I had a great experience and was treated very well. I would definitely go back and would recommend him also.
