Dr Ramos Kelly vs Dr Garcia, in Tijuana?



Recommended Posts

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.

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

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 :-)

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!

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?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
