Long Term VSG Sleevers?

[Chrissyg 54]

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???

I got that in an email.  I am kind of bummed about it.  The idea of being able to have surgery with Dr. Illan for less money was appealing.  Such is life.

Yeah, that does kinda suck. That would have been a great price for Dr. Illan for sure! He is usually around 5k.

I have never heard of him :/ doesn't mean he's a bad surgeon, I have just never heard anyone on here talking about him. Have you heard of Dr. Zavalza?

I live here in Baja and have an appointment to meet him face to face 2 Saturdays from now, with Dr. M.

The surgeon on that site also is Dr Jorge Maytorena. I tried looking up reviews but haven't found many. I talked to the coordinator and he was very nice and super informational. He said the price was low because they perform the surgery at in a surgical clinic instead of a hospital. Then you are transported to the recovery place.

I spent a ton of time reviewing the website & Dr. M. I can't find anything bad about him (negative stuff always comes up of its there). The lower cost is because it's an outpatient clinic. I'm going to look into this.

When r yall set for surgery?

[Aliyah14 41]

I will more than likely be going with them also. If you guys are nervous like me lol i emailed them the other day and asked to speak with the surgeon! You just let them know a time and date and he'll call or skype you which is Awesome. I just want to make sure I ask him as many long term questions about the sleeve as possible. Becasuse if anything goes wrong I wont have the money to go back to Mexico I will need care in the U.S. Im ready!

[dorian122 20]

That's great to know. This will ease my hubby's mind too when will you schedule? I am looking at The end of May.

[Aliyah14 41]

I will schedule some time in May, maybe the beginning also wish it could be sooner though

I just returned from Tijuana after being sleeved by Dr. Maytorena. I am tired as I literally just got home but I will make it a point to provide an update of how my surgery went.

Thanks! I hope all went great & I look forward to hearing about it.

How was the facility?
