I was impressed by Dr. F. Garcia when I first started looking into surgery in Mexico, but now I'm more impressed/ interested in Dr. Ramos Kelly - based on his resume, experience, website and videos. But Dr. Ramos Kelly appears more expensive. So I'm looking for input on either/ both of these doctors and your experience with them, Ready4aChange and Mexico Bariatric Center. Thank you.

Dr Garcia.. Or better yet, Dr Ponce ;D

I went with Dr.Kelly. He is a really sweet man. I did not go through the Mexico bariatric centre though as they do surgery out of a clinic. I contacted Dr.Kelly directly and had surgery at Florence Hospital. It's a little more money but I would rather be at a hospital. I paid $5500. You can contact his assistant Lora at info@wlsclinic.com

Just had mine done 5 days ago w/ Kelly. Very happy with my choice. Good luck w/ your decision.

Dr Fernando Garcia is an amazingly skilled surgeon and performed my flawless revision in September 2012. He also operates out of MI Doctor Hospital and I paid $5500.00 for my revision and an endoscopy. You will not be disappointed if you go with him.

You keep making me feel better about my decision to go with Dr. Garcia to do my revision! I'm scared and excited! To the OP I have heard nothing but great things about Dr. Garcia ????!

I just got got home last night, I was sleeved in the 29th. I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Garcia and the entire time and I went alone. They are great at communicating with you, they will answer any and every question and he is affordable and skilled, can't beat that :-)

Sleeved yesterday! Dr Garcia is amazing and my support person is documenting the trip with words and details as we go... Her VST name is supportivespouse911! His whole team is wonderful very impressed!!! They are on top of it!!!!!

All of his patients rave about Dr. Kelly! I see him Saturday 4/6 and can't wait! I spoke with him by phone without an appt and he spent 20 mins answering my questions. He is a trauma surgeon trained in the US. I understand he gets referred more difficult patients. I was impressed by credentials like ASBMS and FACS, too.

HEY, he has a new site where you can ask him questions and he chats live on Fridays 6-8 pm pacific time

Www.bariatricchat.com. You can chat with him yourself.

Both Dr Garcia and Dr Kelly are quite competent. Good luck with your decision!

Dr.Kelly surgery is wed nervous and excited

I'm having a revision with Dr. Garcia on March 8th.  Can you help me with hospital post-op care.  Do they use pressure stockings during surgery?  Do they provide no-skid socks? Were you cold or hot?  Do they staple or glue you?  What was in the kit they give you while your there and while your leaving?  Is there anything you recommend to make the visit go smoother, heating blanket or heating pad?  Personal blanket or pillow?  Oh ya, did you have a drain or catheter?  How was your pain? 

Dr.Kelly surgery is wed nervous and excited

My surgery is next Tuesday with Dr. Kelly, how goes it for you so far dbering?

Dr. Kelly and his wife are wonderful people ! they made me feel like family the hospital was clean and your well taken care of. i would do it again in a second. Tell him i said hello you will be in great hands

@ breathless

i took a back pack. the dr. took my life savers . lol. take something big enough to bring x rays home they gave me copies of everything

Dr. Kelly was great the whole experience. A++++++++

I used Dr. Garcia but it was not a revision. I searched Dr. Kelly's name and there were too many mixed reviews on him for me to feel good about using him. I didn't really see anything negative on Dr. F. Garcia so that's why I felt better about him.
