Best surgeon in Mexico for a reasonable price? Ignore my previous post, i hit post too early



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery in the states but now my boyfriend wants it. I'm clueless when it comes to Mexico surgeons. I has heard good things about Dr Aceves, but learned last night he charges 8700$!! We could do it in the states for 3k more than that. So, please help guide me. I am clueless and want a good surgeon for my boyfriend in a nice hospital and nice hotel and everything included, within a reasonable price....6k max. Is that too much to ask for? Should I go a different route? Please help.

I had Dr. Fernando Garcia - and went through Ready4Achange http://bariatricweightloss-surgery.com/

My cost was $4700 and that covered everthing but airfare... and I had a great experance

My insurance didn't cover the operation... However I do have a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account and I was able to get reimburest $2500 from the money that was in it,,, so for me.. out of pocket it cost me $2200 plus airafre

any questions about Dr. Fernando Garcia and my experances feel free to ask

Good Luck

I can't give a personal recommendation since I ended up being approved by my insurance, but when I was considering Mexican surgeons I did a lot of research. I had decided on Dr. Garcia. You may want to look for members who had him (and other surgeons you are interested in) as their surgeon and look at their posts and blog entries. Good luck!

Laura- Dr Armanza's office actually just called me telling me what they offer. Is that not a good route? I didn't get a good vibe when you put the hospital in parenthesis. Please explain. :)

Well first off sorry to the people that used this place and liked it.. THIS IS MY OPINION..

It is not a hospital it is a clinic in a strip mall between an office max and porn shop...

There have been horror stories and not long ago a news story about botched surgeries.

I personally would never be desperate enough to take such a risk.

Thank you for that. I will look into the other surgeons that others recommended. Do you happen to have any you favor?

They all seem to be ok.. I see you are looking at ilian he's not as well known as the Garcia's and Acevess but I still think he gets good reviews..

I just have a thing about going to an outpatient clinic in Mexico is all :)

Oh and I would PM Susan here.. She gets deals from time to time on these doctors and if I were to have a coordinator I'd prefer Susan because at least I can find her easily to bug, complain or ask..

I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Ortiz with OCC- I have read nothing but excellent things about him and his facility- $6500 not including airfare, including 3 nights in the Marriott. I have been researching this extensively since February and decided on Dr Ortiz. Any time I had questions, they responded to me right away when I called or emAiled.

I had surgery with Dr Ariel Ortiz on October 7. I am so happy I went with him! I had no pain and little discomfort. No throwing up, no dry heaves, no feeling like it. He triple staples then folds the edges in and staples again.

The Obesity Control Center is a center of excellence, using the same standards as the US. He has done over 10,000 of these surgeries. It is all he does. He teaches in the US. One thing I really liked about his clinic was that weight loss surgery is all they do. That means no sick people come to the clinic. No bad germs, no infections. Dr Ortiz has very few complications.

I recommend him highly.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
