Can anyone recommend a surgeon in Mexico?

I have TriWest & it looks like their not going to be covering the sleeve anytime soon. :(

So now I'm thinking Mexico. My husband thinks I'm nuts but, I'm totally serious.

So far I've researched Dr. Guillermo Alvarez. Any recommendations would be great.

Thank you so much!

Dr. Garcia, Dr. Aceves & Dr. Alvarez are on the top of my lists. Thank you, AChristian! How was your recovery?

My sister is in Tijuana now. She just had her surgery with Fernando Garcia. She is raving about the doc, nurses and hospital...and my sister is hard to please!!!! Lol

My recovery was easy. I've always been very lucky with that. I just had a tummy tuck 13 days ago and I'm moving all over the place lol.

That is Amazing! I'm hoping my results end up great. So far so good. I want my sisters to see my results and follow in my steps as well.

I went with Dr. Mario Almanza. He was the cheapest I could find and everything went well for me.
