Can anyone tell about their experience with having surgery in Mexico? Where did you have it and with who? About how much did you spend and what was the entire process like? Sorry for all the questions. I am just nervous.

Oasis is a hospital. Make sure yours isn't a clinic the experience is much different.

It is Florence Hospital in Tijuana Mexico. It is a Hospital from what I've seen and researched. They show it on their website as well at tijuanabariatrics.com

Florence hospital is a real deal hospital. My surgeon use to operate there before he moved to Hospital CER.

KC VSG THATS GREAT! I am scheduled for May 26- 2015 but I am sure I'll be pushing it back at least a few weeks later to June 2015. We may meet where are you from? I live in Louisiana. I'm so excited. I research for more then two years and finally decided and paid my deposit. thank you for replying

I'm also from Louisiana but lives in Nashville.

Hi I'll be bringing some like gasX and some tums. The vitamins I bought will be used after the surgery. I pray I won't loss a lot of my hair after the surgery. I went crazy buying biotin pills. I'm trying to find the right protein shakes also.

OK I'm sure its much nicer in Nashville Tennessee then over here. anywhere is better than here...

Scheduled for May 29th in Tijuana, Mexico with Dr.Zavalza ! I'm praying it all works out ! ☺️

I checked out their website as well. Great price might I add. I'm nervous as well but I'm sure everything will be OK. I am awaiting my passport card through the mail. Change is always scary at first

OK I'm sure its much nicer in Nashville Tennessee then over here. anywhere is better than here...

lol I love Nashville but food not the same like back home

I am scheduled with Dr. Zavalza and several of my friends have used him. I don't agree with the statement that you get what you pay for because my friends got treated far better than other people that they met there that had surgery for more money from different doctors. I think you have to do your research. There is a wonderful facebook group for Dr. Zavalza also.

Brela, yes I know what you mean there are doctors who do the same work and charge higher. Why pay higher if you can get it done for cheaper. I won't spend more if I don't have to. I could think of a lot of other things I could do with the extra money left over like buy a new wardrobe of course

Rocky1 I like the fact that with Hospital Angeles you only stay three days in the hospital then go home. The pay a a few thousand higher though. The hospital looks great from the video's . I know for sure that I'll get a hysterectomy done at Hospital Angeles after I have the gastric sleeve surgery done. A year later though. I paid the deposit to Tijuana Bariatrics but I'm still unsure of what I'll do because I hate how after you pay the deposit the phone calls and emails stop coming in plus five days is a lot of work missed for the surgery. I'll try sending an email again and if I receive no response, I'm moving on.

Brela, what hospital does Dr, Zavalza operate out of in Tijuana Mexico? How much was your deposit? Do they really stay in contact? Once I deposited $500 dollars the phone calls and emails stopped coming in.

I had surgery on March 30th with Dr Zavalza and last night I was in contact with both him and his nutritionist!! They are amazing!!!

Rocky1 to each his/her own. Thank you for your comments
