Considering surgery in Mexico if UHC 100% denies me and I can't get it cheap enough here in Texas. Which Mexico surgeon/facility did you use? Any complications/infections?

Dr. Jalil Illan was mine. At the time he was at the florence Hospital which was nice. They're now at the Oasis of Hope hospital and the people who've gone recently have had nothing but amazing things to say about the upgrade. It looks beautiful.

No issues! You can read about my experience here: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/370663-its-been-a-bumpy-one/#entry4190081

Dr. Ponce de Leon... very good experience.

I'm headed to the OCC in Mexico

Going to Dr Garcia.I have a friend that used him and his wife did as well and they referred multiple family members as well.

Mexicali Bariatric Center Dr Whilefmy no complications

I will be using Dr. Elias Ortiz at ALM. My surgery is scheduled May 8

On my way right now....At Panera bread eating broth and staring at my wife's piece of bread lol.Surgery is tomorrow the 10th.

Dr. Illan was my surgeon. I had surgery on 12/12/16 and had no complications. I had mini gastric bypass. I stayed at Oasis of Hope Hospital and then went to Pueblo Hotel & Casino. Both places were nice. Dr. Illan, his surgical staff, which includes two other bariatric surgeons, the other doctors, nurses and valets were amazing. They were very attentive and made sure I was healing right and that I and my daughter had everything we needed. One of the best decisions I have ever made!!!

Did you have to go for a consultation first?

Dr. Ramos Kelly on 4/10/17.
Surgery was at Angeles Hospital in Tijuana and after a few days, recovery at Lucerna Hotel. My first in person consultation was the day before surgery. Prior to then, I spoke to the surgeon a couple of times and swapped multiple emails with him and his staff. Key thing is to fill out your surgeon's medical questionnaire with accurate and complete details so he/she can recommend the right procedure for you.

I went to the OCC Mexico.

How much is it in the end? I'm Canadian and our dollar is brutal compared to US dollar today.

7500-9200 in Canadian dollars , but the OCC is one of the more expensive places. I do believe many people had great Success with Dr.illan , I think... at a much lower cost like 5500 Canadian. Just ask around in here, but make sure you pick a well known place, you need to have heard from lots of others, not 2 or 3...(I'm my books anyway)

good Luck!

Thanks veryyyy much. It seems like these Dr's are constantly moving around. I called Trinity Medical. Nice guy. Great price. He said they just hired a new surgeon. Younger guy but has done over 1000 sleeves. Dr Luis Pasten. Ever heard of him?
