Do they have a number for you to call? Maybe they are busy.. I'll say give it maybe a couple of more days depending on how you long you have waited so far. Make sure you read reviews on every doctor or center.

I had VSG surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center 6 years ago. Specifically recommended by several US bariatric surgeons. No middle man.....you deal directly with Dr. Ortiz and his staff. Easy, pain free recovery, no complications, great postop communication and holding steady 160 pounds down.

I went through ALM in Tijuana last month.

I made a long post detailing my interactions with them and my experience before, during and after surgery in the Self Pay in Mexico forum on this site.

It's obviously specific to my own experience, but I recommend checking it out for an idea of how things may differ from any previous experience you've had in the USA.

I can't sing their praises loudly enough - I was treated well, I was impressed with the accommodations provided, impressed by the staff at the hospital and I'm thrilled with my results so far.

I am in Tijuana tonight waiting to have sleeve in the morning. Dr Sergio Verboone is doing. Great so far

Had my sleeve surgery yesterday at 5:00pm Mexico time. At first I thought I had made a mistake because the pain was so bad. Today it is not as bad, still have drain in and it will be removed tomorrow. I have a 6 hour flight home tomorrow after fluor test. I have had nothing by mouth since 9:30 Thursday night. I will get ice chips today and I am looking forward to that. Gas-x strip have helped with gas pain. I have been walking off and on since 4 hours after surgery.

That's my doc and I had a similar issue but was persistent in calling. When is your surgery date? Mine is March 21

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
