Mine was $500 down $3750 when I got there. Included airport transfers from San Diego, 1 pre op hotel night, surgery, 2 nights hospital stay, 2 nights post op hotel and post op meds. I used Dr Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics for sleeve surgery last week. When I got my band I used Dr Ortiz at Obesity Control Center. He is kinda high priced now but also top notch. Wish I coulda used him again.

I am looking at Dr Ariel Ortiz for sleeve surgery in Oct 2016. Can you tell me anything about him & staff. His on-line marketing is amazing & I'm not convinced he is real. Is he & staff legitimate ?

When we were no longer eligible for Medicaid, we were given a 12 month period before they kicked us off the insurance. You might want to check into it.

happytrooper11 works for this surgeon. Their IP address was coming from Mexico and they've been banned.

I'd be a little careful if I were you....

Oh and the email they used to register was worklongtermvsg@XXXXX.com . That was a pure giveaway.

It's impossible to offer actual surgery using decent equipment, facilities, staff, non-expired staples etc for such a low price. They're skimping on things that you don't realize but you're putting your life at risk.

Thank goodness someone here is looking out for us!

Has anyone used Dr. Illan? He seems good from the videos but so does Ortiz

I've spoken to many of Dr. Illans patients and nothing but great things to say. He's now affiliated with Bariatric Pal and using Oasis Hospital s new bariatric unit if you go through BP. My surgery is October 11th. I will keep you posted

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
