Looking for Best Non-Border Surgeon/ Beachy (vacation style) Recovery

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking for a Mexican surgeon who comes highly recommended in the Coastal areas of Mexico. I know that bariatric surgery is NO VACATION but I want my recovery time to be as enjoyable as possible. I'd like a 5star or equiv. hotel with access to the healthcare team/ special diet as well as a the surgery to occur at a state of the art hospital- NO Surgery Center. Ideally I would like to be within a reasonable distance from the airport so I'm not traveling by car for very long to or from the center. I would also be grateful for any recommendations of Medical Tourism Travel Insurance/ Complication Insurance. I am looking at the gastric sleeve now but am open to what the doctor feels is most appropriate for me.

Thank you in advance.

    CMQ Premiere Hospital/Dr. Castaneda is so far my first choice. Anyone have any experience with him or this hospital?
