On the site, it says that Dr. Illan is one of the doctors doing it at this price.  I've seen several posts about this doctor with good reviews.  Not sure myself but it does seem a little too good to be true.

I called today, and they sent me the information.  Everything seems to be legit.  I've been researching, and I haven't found anything bad about the doctors.  If everything goes well, I think I am going to schedule with them.  I'll keep posting…...

Thanks everyone...

Is this a complete package? Like does it come with hotel stay?

Thanks!  That's the information I received as well.  I asked one of their coordinators about the "too good to be true" price, and he said that it's due to the marketing strategy of the brand new surgical center.  The price might not stay for long.

I have attempted to reach the contact I had by email with not much luck.  I reckon I should call at this point.  I get uneasy when I am emailing a coordinator and they don't answer within at least 24 hours.

Hey! I just found out that Dr. Jalil won't be in the team….apparently some issues with his patient facilitator.  Does anybody know doctor Maytorena?  he is the other doctor…… I am reading his credential and seems to be very experienced, but not sure.  

anybody has had surgery with him???

Hi everyone,

 

I joined this forum last week.  Now that I have decided to go this route and end my weight problems, I have seriously started doing my homework.  I don't have that much money and insurance is a real pain.  I opted to go to Mexico since it's one of the top countries with successful bariatric surgery procedures.  It seems that Tijuana has top bariatric surgeons and their prices are nothing compared to the US.  Now I just need to know more about Dr. Maytorena. Does anybody know him?

 

Thank you, 

 

Nancy T.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
