My insurance will not pay here in the states and I know Mexico will be cheaper. Where did some of you go in Tiajuana, Mexico and how was the experience?

I went to Tijuana and had my sleeve done by Ponce Bariatrics. I had a good experience, even though I can't say surgery is fun. It's a pretty quick recovery. I have had no problems, but I've checked in with my GP and have saw a bariatric nutritionist when I got home to make sure I'm doing everything right. I started at a BMI of 34, relatively low, but I did this to prevent diabetes, which is rampant in my family. I had a single incision sleeve and they were also able to take out my gall bladder at the same time. I paid $6,000 plus an additional $700 for the gall bladder.

I am scheduled for Jan 5th at long term VSG with Dr. M. It ranges from 3000 to 4000 + depending on length and location of stay and promotional dates.

I am scheduled for January 13th with Fernando Garcia through Tijuana Bariatrics. So far so good

I am looking at doing it for prevention of diabetes and heart disease. My BMI is 36. I have already had my gallbladder removed so as I'm hearing that could be a good thing. Thanks for the info!

I went thru BariatricPal Team MX in Tijuana. Dr. Ilan did my surgery on Aug 23rd of last year...my ONLY regret is that i waited so long to do it! The service was wonderful and I cannot recommend it enough...I really do wish I had done it years ago and didn't waste so much time with my insurance jerking me around. Do it.

I am hoping to have surgery with Dr. A at Endobariatrics. It is only 1 mile into Mexico.
