@ Okiebon Yes my coordinator said I can choose from between two Mexico locations which is Tijuana and Juarez and then a US location I forgot what state but its about double the price for that one. I email her regularly last time was today she is trying to help me schedule a date for this April on a Friday.

Our surgeries won't be very far apart then. Mine is scheduled for Friday, March 20th with Dr. Rodriguez. I hope you get the day you want. Best wishes!

wow how exciting we will both be going through the surgery around the same time ! Good luck though I will add you so we can share questions or results and concerns.

That will be great, thank you!

I realized today that I only have 23 more days to wait. Wow, I need to start making lists and doing some shopping.

Thanks Rocky!

@ blbatazar wow that is a great they pay for her stay and everything ! DId she go through the doctor or some type of scheduling agency ?

How much are you guys paying and what hospital? I have been researching and I have seen good reviews for doctor Elias Ortiz with alighterme and Doctor Reyes Kelly don't know what company he uses. I'm so confused on who to use.

Hi. We are not affiliated with either Dr. Ortiz or Dr. Ramos-Kelly.

But we do have a team of 7 board certified surgeons that work with Bariatric Pal and have your health and well-being as their #1 priority. What helps BP stand apart from the rest is the personalized service that is offered to each individual patient both by the doctors and the on-site BP staff.

i am available to talk or chat at any time. robert@bariatricpal.com or (619)726-4450

I am seven days post op with Dr. Ponce in Tijuana-the people were very kind and the care was wonderful-I couldn't have asked for better that way-they seemed liked they genuinely cared right down to the doctors inturn who made sure were very comfortable and had no questions or concerns once we were leaving the hospital. The whole group of people who made our trip possible and comfortable were amazing.

Glad to hear you had a great experience with our affiliated surgeon Dr. Jaime Ponce De Leon. Be well and enjoy the journey.

I was a little freaked out by the idea of going to Juarez. I literally did an insane amount of research before going and even contacted the American Embassy there!! Let me tell you, all my worry was for nothing!!! It was safe as could be, I wasn't even the slightest bit nervous and had I been aloud to actually eat I would have had no problem leaving the hospital to go across the street for a great Mexican dinner. You are picked up at the airport and literally taken to the front door of the hospital. I would have no problem doing it all over again and actually, i kind of think it's a little bad ass to be able to say, "yeah, I've been to Juarez " lol and Dr. Rod is definitely worth it!

I would also check out Dr Alvarez at Endobariatrics. I was really impressed with what was offered there, and after a lot of research I went with them.

Good luck!
