Hello,

I have will be self pay amd am looking to go iat the beggining of Jan 2015. Was wondering if any else is/was self pay? Where did you go and how was the experience?

I am self-pay, and am having surgery in Mexico in December.

Oh congrats OCSlim... Who will be your surgeon?

I will be going 2 Dr Quinones! I was originally going Nov 14th but I had 2 reschedule because of my job! Research Dr. Q! I can hardly wait! Good luck!

TrulyAmazingToo,

I am scheduled with two different surgeons still, but am leaning toward Dr. alejandro lopez, as he is the only surgeon in Mexico I've found who does the single incision sleeve Gastrectomy. I really like the idea of not having all the scars of the traditional method.

Who is doing yours?

Sorry auto correction on my phone.... I will check out Dr. Q

I dont have a Dr in mind yet. I have been researching for about a month now. I am new to this and none of my friends or family know i am going to do it.

You will find a great deal of information and feedback on this system that will help you greatly in your endeavor. I hope you find a great surgeon for you, and have a happy, healthy and successful outcome!

I am scheduled for 12/11 in Tijuana with Dr. E. Ortiz at A Lighter Me. So far my experience in corresponding with my patient coordinator has been great! I am in eager anticipation and ready to get my life back

Pushed mine up to 12/10!

I am also trying to find a doctor in mexico because the costs is better. I was going with dr jose rodriguez but i cant find alot of review on him like on youtube or anything. I've heard alot of good things about dr. ortiz. I wonder has anyone tried the surgeons and pricing using bariatricpal ?

I opted to stay in the states for mine. I payed quite a bit more but being a single mom with two boys, I needed to make sure I had the extra post op support closer. I'm in Tulsa, OK and Dr. Christopher Cole, MD performed my surgery. It has been an awesome experience. It is also nice to be able to call my surgeons office and go in when I need too. Feels good to know that he is here and knows exactly what he did to me.

I have friends on YouTube that I follow who have had great success too having gone to Mexico.

God bless each of you on your journey.
