Anyone go to Mexico and have Gastric Bypass with Dr. Fernando Garcia?

I am trying to decide on a doctor in Tijuanna to have my bypass done. I think I have narrowed it down to Dr. Garcia. Anyone want to share their experience with their doctor? It would be greatly appreciated!!

No experience yet to share. Just submitted my medical info to them a couple days ago. I was debating between him and Illan and ultimately chose him because I found good reviews on several sites. Seems Illan is only talked about on this site. Ive yet to find anything bad. Shooting for 2nd week of october

Mine is set for the 17th. It was tough trying to decide between the sleeve and bypass. Ultimately, because of my GERD, I chose the bypass. I am a little nervous.

I just had mine with Jorge Maytorena at Long Term VSG 8/30/16 for $3499. No problems so far and great experience.

I used Dr Garcia in May for VGS revision. GREAT experience. Wouldn't change a thing. I used Dr Ortiz in 2011 for my band he and his staff were great too. Just too expensive for my sleeve revision. Dr Garcia charged $5200 for revision and Ortiz wanted $8000. No brainer. Good Luck, you will be in good hands. My post op was super uneventful and NO gas pains :)

I am considering Dr. Garcia too. All the reviews I have found have been great. I was also thinking about Dr. Ramos Kelly however, I read some reviews that concerned me. I need to make a choice soon, kinda want to do this before the end of the year so I can start 2017 off right!

I chose Garcia after loads of research. Its a pretty fast process once its started. Im going to book next week and pay the deposit. They said they can get me in 2 to 3 weeks after
