Canada to Mexico for WLS

Has anyone on here travelled to Mexico for weight loss surgery? If so I have a couple questions I would like to ask you as my surgery is coming up in a few days.

If you can, consider India....some of best Doctors in world due to frequency of operations. We're from Florida and moved to India a couple years ago. Facilities are First Class (depending on hospital). I used Fortis Gurgaon. Biggest problem is post surgery follow-up when you leave the country; but seems to be plenty of that in the USA. Surgery cost was about $11K everything in; plus we have a VIP room with butler and 1 nurse per room. My wife hade her hip replaced here for same reasons. Just a thought.

I travelled from New Zealand to Mexico (Tijuana) in May this year. Had a great experience. If you have any questions I'm more than happy to try and answer them ????

I would just recommend that you search on BP and the internet for information on these doctors in Mexico and be thoroughly informed before you select one. Best wishes!

Check out the Mexico and self pay gastric sleeve surgery forum....

Research like crazy before choosing a surgeon. Look closely at the facility, staff, and followup care, too I used Dr. Ariel Ortiz and Dr. Martinez at Obesity Control Center in Tijuana. Great experience, wonderful facility, no complications and excellent results. PM me if you'd like more info.

Hey I would love to talk to you about your experience. I am also from New Zealand and considering Mexico as an option. It would save me about 10,000 i think?!

Did you fly home long after the surgery? What is the process if there are complications etc?
