For those of you who went to MX to get the VGS though Bariatric Pal can I hear your experiences? I am concerned about going to another country for the sleeve. I am thinking if I do make that decision that DR. A or Dr. Z would be my choice. I would love to hear from some of you who have had it done.

Thank you!

I had it done in Mexico at a clinic with Dr. Kelly. Except for getting really sick for two days from the anesthesia (probably would have happened anywhere), all went well. Have had no complications since. That being said, I would not recommend it, especially in a clinic. I know others rave and rave about it, but I truly got the feeling that if something had gone really wrong, I would not have gotten the care that I would have received in the states. I happen to speak a fair amount of Spanish, which was awesome, because NONE of my nurses spoke English. At least if you are going to do there, I would go with having it done somewhere like Hospital Angeles. I should have done it there, but it was more expensive and I wanted to save money, even though Dr. Kelly very strongly recommended doing it in the hospital. Something to think about. This is your health!

P.S. I also wouldn't strongly recommend Dr. Kelly. Surgery was great. Before and after? Not so much.

Hospital Angeles with Dr. Lopez-Corvala in Tijuana. The best hospital and surgeon ever!

I posted my experience in the actual Mexico forum. I had a wonderful experience. BP is fantastic
