Just wondering if anyone has had surgery in Tijuana, and if so who did you use? How did it go? Trying to find a surgeon. Insurance won't cover it, so I'll have to pay out of pocket, so...

Have you searched Dr. Alberto Aceves in Mexicali? He is THE BEST!!!!

what was the co$t??? i've seen everything from $6,000 to $12,995.

I'm local and my insurance covered part of it, so I don't want to give you any wrong info, go to his website, I just had surgery with him a week ago, and I feel great, no pain, not hungry, no headaches, no nausea, I completely recommend him... his website is: http://gastricsleeve...urgeon.com��and the hospital one is: http://mexicalibaria...bariatric.com��

I was able to locate them online. Seems like a great place, but out of my price range. :-( Our insurance will only cover the band and only after you jump through a whole mess of hoops. The quote I got from Mexicali is $11,000 limited time cash price. Thank you anyway Marisela! I hope you continue to do well! And congratulations on your recent surgery!

Thanks... I hope you find a way to get yours done too! I am truly happy with my doctor, people from all over the world travel to have surgery with him and I have him just 5 mins away from home!!! Best luck to you.

I went with Dr. Fernando Garcia Govea. Tijuanabariatrics.com for my revision.

He was a genius with a complicated procedure.

Hospital florence Oasis was super nice, clean, quiet. The staff was PHENOMENAL.

I had better care than I had in the USA with my first surgery.

My revision was $7500. It was on the high end, but after researching I picked him. He has had no fatalities, a much lower than average complications, he only does a maximum of 5 surgeries a day (some doctors do 15!), and eh anesthesiologist is a cardiologist as well.

If you're interested I'll give you my coordinator's email. She took very good care of me.

I am curious about having the surgery out of the country. How does all the pre op appointments and everything work? I can't afford to stay long term in Mexico even though I'd love to!!!

I am having gastric bypass in TJ, Mexico on 10/30 through mexicobariatriccenter. I am using Dr Lousiana Valensuela (I'm positive I spelt that wrong)

I am also having gastric bypass with Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela at Hospital MI Doctor through Mecico Bariatric Center, but not until 2/23/2015.

Started preop diet today

I was going to go with Dr. Ponce de Leon. Kinda nervous because I am not seeing much about him. Anyone care to update their replies?? How are you all doing??

WOW. It autobots the doctors name. Geez.

I went to Dr Verboonen in Tijuana I had the Mini Gastric Bypass and my total cost was $6500.00. I know if you want the sleeve its only $4200.

Dr Verboonen has his own clinic in Tijuana and Cancun. I was in Mexico a total of 4 days 2 nights at the clinic one night at a beautiful hotel,Then flew home. The price included everything( transfers, labs, clinic stay,hotel)except flights.

Who handles your post op care in case you have any complications when you fly home? And is it cash only or do they take credit??

I talked to my family Dr. Before I went and she agreed to do my follow up visits. lab testing at 3 months, 6 months and a year. If I would have had major complications I would have just went to the ER.
