I have to self pay for my gastric surgery and I have been researching alternative doctors and would like to know if anyone will recommend any doctors in Mexico. I am tired of this life and want my life back.

i had a financial hiccup, but I am sure I can resolve it, other than that i am ready!!

Awesome.

I was sleeved by Louisana Valenzuela with Dr Cabrera assisting. Both received extrnsive bariatric training under Dr. Corvala. I had an excellent experience. (Coordianted through MBC and had surgery at midoctor.) I can't say that I'd recommend my doctor OVER any other doctor because honestly, I've heard so many positive experiences about Corvala, F. Lopez, Aceves, and Garcia. Also a lot of people like Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras. I think it's just a matter of finding a Doctor and coordinator that you're comfortable with while finding the location and price that's right for you.

We were just sleeved by Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras Mexico on Sept 30. We are extremely pleased with our surgery and the care we received from him and all his staff. They are very efficient and organized. Could not have asked for a smoother experience. Our wait was 3 months, but that was my choice due to my work schedule.

I want To know more detail on your trip to piedras negras a little scared but I want to get it done. HELP!!

I was sleeved my Dr. Alvarez on Sept 27. I also had great care and a great experience. I was back to work in a week and I'm down 19 pounds since surgery. My incisions are complete healed. Recovery was fairly easy. The hospital is old but clean. The town is busy with cars and people walking. I never felt unsafe.

I used alvarez no flight because its only four hours away from me in Texas. There are many other surgeons in Mexico with good reputations. It really depends on your lists of wants and needs.

I went to Dr Ramos Kelly, abd loved my expierence.

Dr Ariel Ortiz at the Obesity Control Center did mune last Monday. It was a wonderful experience with no pain and little discomfort. He has done 10,000 of these. It's all he does. he runs a Center of Excellence that is certified to US Standards.

I think it's a plus that he has a clinic not a hospital. that means that there are no sick patients. Less chance of infection.

There is a reason he is a rock star in bariactic medicine.

I, too am scheduled with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at OCC. Working with Carolyn has been simple and straightforward, she has been extremely timely in answering e-mails, relaying questions to the doctors, etc. I've submitted medical history, submitted FMLA paperwork filled out by OCC to my HR dept., asked many questions, paid my deposit and purchased airline tickets. Do as much research as you can and the surgeon that makes the most sense for your situation will come to light, there are good options. Good luck!

Dr. Lopez at MiHospital is doing my surgery on October 23rd. I'm excited.
