Surgery in Mexico

I lost 90 pounds on my own about 4 years ago and still have 70 to go. My Doctor denied my request for gastric sleeve and I'm looking into going to Mexico for it.

Any suggestions for choosing a Dr would be great. I have researched Ponce and Altimarano.

Please advise! I'm worried about medical tourism but would like actual testimonials!

Thanks!!

    Hi Madeira, if you haven't found it yet, there is a specific sub-forum here for self-pay and Mexico gastric sleeve surgery. You might want to post there, as well as reading the many posts from others who have traveled to Mexico for surgery. Good luck!
