I'm hoping to have VSG in January with Dr. Quinones in TJ Mexico..... I've researched surgeons and he's who I feel most comfortable with.... I guess my question is- does anyone have any experience with him or know anyone around my size that has seen him.... Thanks

I can't specifically answer your question, but you have my best wishes for success!

Thank You

Why wouldn't u just go to a Dr in the USA? I'm sorry but I'd never have anything done in Mexico. But I do here that there are some great Drs in TJ. Don't you have insurance it would be totally covered mine was.

@UrCaliGirl... I do have insurance but they will not cover it because my weight is my only health issue.... I've tried 3 times but they will not cover it so my only option is self pay.... it has not been easy to find a doctor in the u.s that would do it for me... The couple I did find wanted over $25,000 for the VSG....

yeah I know it sucks about the insurance but I can't let that stop me I've been waiting too long it's time to make a move..... Thank You

Many people on here have gone to Mexico for surgery and had great results. Do your research and make sure you have a dr in the US who will do the follow up.

Best of luck to you! I am so grateful for my sleeve and I hope the same for you!

I bet my Drs office could get it covered! I had Blue Cross Blue Sheild out of Az I had my surgery done in Ca and they covered it I only had a 36 BMI all my blood work was perfect but diabetes runs in my family and they got mine covered no problem.

The Dr is Awesome I was home in 2 days and I feel amazing....

I know many people do have success but it's a huge risk! My Dr told me he has treated many patients who have had problems after they had surgery over there. I would fight my insurance there's no reason they shouldn't cover it for him. His weight alone is a huge risk factor. Oh ya I'm from San Diego and my Dr is in La Jolla that's why he's seen more than his share of TJ's surgery nightmares!

yeah they told me it's because of the state I live in.... Which makes no sense to me I asked if I could go to another state to have it done but they still will not cover it.... I fought with him for way too long.... Trust me going abroad was not my first choice but I can't stop I have to keep moving forward
