I'm looking into booking Dr. Cabrera at Mexico Bariatric Center and while everything looks good I just wanted some other opinions on him. Would you recommend? Also the only picture I've seen of the hospital doesn't look that great, did you like the hospital? I was a little put off because I was told he didn't need anything from my doctor here like blood work or anything but I don't know if that's normal since I'm young and relatively healthy. Any experiences with him and Mexico Bariatric Center would be appreciated!

I'm going to him too I've seen more comments about him on the Mexico bariatric forums the OR and hospital rooms I saw where good. When are you going? I'm thinking first week of May

@RaheemaI have school so I'm thinking like May 17th or that week!

I'm thinking 7th flght plans sucks ass!

I used Cabrera. The hospital is used up.but they seemed to know what they were doing.he didn't ask for labs,they do them there along with an EKG.i had my surgery on St. Patricks Day 2016 my pre op weight was 252 and I weigh 138 today.good luck!

Used up as in out-dated or total dump?

Used up as in I expected with the US dollar conversion they would have really new state of the art equipment in the rooms.for example the ekg machine was functional but old.another example they count the IV drips but don't use an IMED.They run a lot of people through so the rooms need painting and repairs that you would expect to see. The hospital is like a lot of USA rural hospitals okay but bare bones.

Which hospital is this? Wow this makes me nervous

I had Dr Cabrera do my surgery and no problems at all. The hospital was fine. I had all my pre op the day before my sleeve. I am down 27lbs in 6 weeks!

That's what I've heard from a lot of people about the hospital. Dr. Cabrera seems great and I'm sure the hospital is fine but I decided to go with Dr. Illan just because the hospital seems more updated and it's close to the same price. I'm taking my mom and she already has reservations so I didn't want her to be freaked out by the hospital when we got there.

I would recommend Dr Illan. I used him Nov 2017 and the Oasis of Hope Hospital is really nice. All doctors, nurses and staff were amazing. It was a great experience.

I went with Dr. V at Mexico Bariatric Center and I had no problems. Their preferred hospital is Mi Doctor Hospital. Its not brand new but definitely not too shabby either. The staff and doctors have very good bedside manners. The care was slightly better than the USA because they take time to visit you often to check on you and answer any questions or concerns you might have. The City Suites hotel was definitely up to date and walking distance to a pretty good shopping center, movie theater and casino.

I have attached a few photos from my trip

Thank you! Looks alright. I post-poned my surgery until the beginning of November. What hotel in San Diego did ya stay at?

This hotel is in Mexico. This is where you stay when you book with MBC.

To the person who said they do NOT recommend Mexico Bariatric Center, please provide a legitimate reason to help people make the best decision for themselves. Did you have your procedure done with them and if so, who was your Dr. and what was your bad experience?
