I have read oodles of post here searching for the information that will set my mind at ease. I've been looking for the answer that "everything will be alright". That the my decision in going to Mexico to get a Surgery that will make my 19 years of obesity a thing of the past. My biggest dwelling point is whether am I picking the right Surgical team. I have looked up all the information I can find -which is not a great deal- about Dr. Osuna at Specialized Beriatrics. Does anyone have any experience with Dr Osuna?

I will be sure to post a long and detailed account of my experience with her, because I want to be around for a long, Long time. Also because I want you to know that I made it ( :

Please if you have any advice about her, her team, and any suggestions on how to settle down and let go of all the anxiety let me know.

Thanks

I was nervous as heck. Booked with one TJ surgeon and changed my mind, and went with another. I chose Dr. Illan for so many reasons. I can't tell you anything about your surgeon, but I can tell you that if you can't or haven't talked to at least 3 or four people that had surgery with her I would be scared too. Dr. Illan's patients have a closed Facebook site which gave me the reassurance I really needed. Maybe your surgeon has the same. I am 5 days post-op, and very confident I made the right decision for me. Feel free to inbox me if you have any questions, as I was in your exact shoes a few weeks ago!

I'm from Canada. I'm going to see Dr. Pompa at Weight Loss Forever in TJ Mexico. I"ve talked to about 6 people who have gone to her, a few of them are nurses and everyone has glowing reviews. I'm not nervous about my choice at all.

My surgery is scheduled for June 30.

Note - the surgeon name on the site for Dr. Pompa is Liza Gonzales.

Hi I'm going to Dr Osuna on May 30th!!! I had planned on another dr before dr osuna but the dr I was going to have it done by was never heard of no reviews!! I told that drs coordinator that she says that I should look him up the next day! Out of curiosity I did and the coordinator just posted some pics of this dr and a video ! That day! I'm like anybody can do that! Either way i originally wanted to go thru dr osuna ! But in the beginning of this journey I couldn't due to I had a request they couldn't grant! So the other dr with no reviews was going to allow me my request !!! So here it was two weeks before I go and Got a email from dr osunas coordinator !!! Saying they will grant my request and I'm in good hands! I didn't see a lot of reviews on her either but I seen some!!! So I am going to her May 30th!! My family and friends have not been supportive at along me doing this surgery !! I wish I wouldn't have told them ughhh but dr osunas coordinator Cathy has been super helpful with support!
