If you went to mexico for your gastric sleeve surgery, who was your doctor and how much did it cost?



Recommended Posts

Go to him! He is the best! I did TONS of research on him and he has had no fatalities or mishaps! My biggest regret is that I did not do this sooner! Their English is good, He is accredited as well through BBB, the hospital is clean, you have your own privacy, the hotel is clean, etc. Talk to Ms. alma (love her to pieces) and she will take care of you!This was my first surgery and I have nothing but positive reviews to give. I made videos about my journey and I encourage you to do the same so that way you and your loved ones can see your progression! If you have anymore questions, please ask me!

Hi MISSORLANDOPLUSAMERICA2011, If I decide to get the gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana Mexico I will definitely be going with Dr Fernando Garcia with the single incision surgery. How was it for you? I'm kind of scared to take that next step and travel out of country. :/ I don't want to travel alone.

Also, I don't know about the single incision but the 5 ones that I do have you can barely see them and they are tiny. I use shea butter and Vaseline to help it fade away faster in which it is working

I also had my surgery with Garcia, and he is exceptional. The entire staff was on top of their game. They are very service oriented and take the patient care very seriously. Dr Garcia is humble and kind as well as knowledgeable. His anesthesiologist is also top notch. You will not regret choosing him. :-) Good luck!

Kelly, rodriguez, a. Ortiz, and Corvala are typically in the group of top Tijuana surgeons. As david from bariatric pal will remind us there are several other good surgeons in mexico but you need to be very careful in your research. Also the facility where you have the surgery done also matters.

Did anyone use BeLites in house financing? How did it go?

Freddie_8 what do you think about Dr Fernando Garcia? I am really interested in going through it with TijuanaBariatrics.com I did a lot of research on him and I found nothing negative so far. He also has a office in California.

I really cannot offer an educated opinion on him. He appears to be a bit lighter on experience than some and doesn't appear to have the prestigous international credentials but that by no means indicates that he is a bad surgeon.

I went with Dr. Juan Corvala at Hospital Angeles, paid $6500...def recommend him...stayed extra days at the hospital b/c of my diabetes and a day at the hotel as well. So happy I went with him, the nurses and doctors, everything was top notch. My mom and I were super impressed, never have gotten this kind of care in the US...ever!

Frick did both Drs work side by side for your surgery? I read on their website that they work side by side on the patients. I'm aiming for Tijuana Bariatrics :) thank you Frick :)

Bham05 I'm not sure of anyone going through the in house finance. You may want to check on the gastric sleeve blogging website. There is a lot of people who went with Belite Weight. Many they can help you out. Thanks :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
