I am now considering the Mexico route as well. I just found out that my insurance policy has Weight Loss Surgery as an exclusion.

I am going in August to Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. The Obesity Control Center. Amazing reviews with top of the notch certifications, etc. I've heard nothing but amazing stories about this place. I have a friend who just returned home from her surgery there.

Curious about Mexico. Do you do the recovery in a hotel?
My dr says patients aren't cleared to fly for about a month

It depends on the surgeon... the surgeon I'm going to has one recovery day in the hospital and the 2nd in a recovery house.

I picked a surgeon that operates in a hospital instead of a clinic. I spent 3 nights in the hospital and 2 at a great hotel in Tijuana then headed to my friend's house in San Diego and flew home 2 days later. I had no problem with flying home a week after surgery.

Dr. Kelly visited me twice a day in the hospital and once a day at the hotel. Not many of the TJ surgeons offer that level of care. I was very happy with how it all turned out.

Dr. Cabrera, Mexico Bariatric Center 1-855-768-7247. He is amazing. I spent 2 nights in hospital and 2 nights at hotel. Dr also visited patients in hotel. Staff was great. Whole experience was great. Good luck and do your research. They have specials all the time and even have buddy discount. How cool is that?

I had my surgery with Dr Illan in March. I had surgery on a Monday, spent two nights at the hospital, then another two at a hotel where a doctor visited me daily. I flew home Friday morning (San Diego to Toronto so a pretty decent haul) and felt just fine. I've had zero problems or complications...cannot recommend Dr Illan enough!
