Hi. I am from the states. Going to be traveling to Mexico in April. Hoping to have my lap band removed and then have gastric bypass.

I inquired through Bariatric Pal.

I was a great rate. The surgeon is Dr. Jesus Martin Lopez Dominguez.

I cannot find any reviews for him and have learned he is fairly new to US patients and Canada.

Has anyone reading this thread used him and can give any feedback about your experience with him? Thanks

Hi Broakea83, I am trying to find reviews on him as well. I am trying to have the gastric sleeve done in November, as you mentioned his rate is great.

Where did you find lower rates?

Look up Santa Fe medical he is part owner and he worked with dr. Quinones and if u have questions u can Skype with him

Dr Lopez also has a FB account and if u look up his full name u can find him Jesus Martin Lopez Dominguez

Thanks Toohighofa#

If you are looking to research surgeons with low rates, there is an even lower rate offered in the self pay and Mexico. $2999 but I would research all of these surgeons carefully and partially use the reviews as confirmation of your research on each surgeon and hospital. There is enough objective info on this site. You have plenty of time to conduct due diligence in selecting a surgeon that best meets your criteria.

Rocky works as a coordinator for another company and is trying scare tactics to take away business from bariatricpal and its doctors by posting death items and crap

I actually decided to use Mexico Bariatric Center. I have researched Dr. Valenzuela and have decided to go with her.

I would be very skeptical about paying those way lower rates.

Several of my fellow bariatric pals have used MBC and Dr. Valenzuela and I feel I have made the right decision.

Thanks for all of the input

I also am having vsg on 3/18 with her and MBC

She had good training and seems very well liked by her patients.

What is it you have against bariatricpal?

Who are you asking?

I didn't say anything at all negative.

I was asking rocky!

I wouldn't use him. I did some digging and I would find another doctor. Shady.

I returned home today from MBC. And I can't tell you how relieved I am to be out of that dump! My first night post op my companion was trying to figure out a way to have an ambulance come take me back San Diego. The only pain medication they offer are Toradol and ultram which are never used without stronger narcotics here in the states after major surgery. I also wasn't able to urinate after surgery and got up to the toilet probably 15 times and begged the nurses to catheterize me and after arguing for an hour, a nurse from the OR cathed me for almost 1500cc! Then acted like they had never seen urinary retention after surgery! I almost collapsed on the floor and was told to "stop complaining". No one had name bands. The nurse blew their gloves open before putting them on also! Since I'm finally back to the safety on my home I'm going to try to sleep a bit but feel fed better
