The TRUTH of getting VSG in Mexico

Hey you guys! I have been seeing so many negative posts on getting Surgery in Mexico. And I wanted to help put this to rest. My newest video on my YouTube channel is dedicated to this topic. Just search "Salinagetssleeved" in the YouTube search bar and watch away! post-268082-14539217949194_thumb.jpg

Can't watch the video, as I'm at work right now, but I think this site does a good job in general of dispelling he myth that having surgery in Mexico is sketchy or dangerous. There are literally thousands of posts in the Mexico & Self Pay forums on this site from people why have had positive experiences receiving excellent care in Mexico.

oh yes!!! It sure does!!! I mostly did this for the YouTube VSG community!

Many times, what we see in the negative posts about Mexico is that the poster knows someone whose cousin heard of someone whose sister read about someone who went to some unnamed clinic in unnamed city with unnamed doctor and had complications.

I have read many posts on this forum about our bariatric brothers and sisters who went to Mexico and had no trouble at all........about the same as folks who get their surgery done in the states. I don't recall in the last two years of anybody being vilified for getting their surgery done in Europe or elsewhere. It's just easy to pick on Mexico, I guess. And no, I'm not from Mexico. I was born in Wisconsin.
