I'm having my surgery done on July 14th in Cabo.. I have several personal friends who went to this same surgeon and they said it's a mini Beverly Hills. I'm so excited for my day. It's Bariatric Mexico

I leave tomorrow for surgery in Tijuana. There are many people who have had surgery there and have had good experiences. My suggestion would be to do a search and read the threads about it. That's a good place to start!

My insurance wouldn't cover WLS so I went with Dr. Illan through BariatricPal Team MX. I had surgery 3/6/17 and am down 40 lbs total. It was a great experience and I will be going back in July for my sister to have surgery.

I am here to vouch for surgery in Mexico. You worried about horror stories ? I've got some horror stories for you....American insurance companies years of torture and requirements, only to shoot you down right when you are ready. Not everyone needs a psychological work up like a transgender person having to prove their worth as a stable human. 6 months of pre surgery dieting? Seriously? If that were possible, who needs surgery. Nutrition College degree? You should get a bachelors for all the hours required. Self pay 20K? Try 4K. Get on with your new life. Do research on your choices. Take responsibility.

It's there a website to do some research?

I had a great experience with WLS in Tijuana, Mexico. My surgeon's name is Dr Ramos Kelly and my MGB surgery was at Hospitale Angeles. I stayed there for a few days and then spent a couple more days at Hotel Lucerna. Dr. Ramos Kelly visited me twice a day in the hospital and once a day at the hotel. I've had no complications and am losing weight! So glad I did this!

I had mine done in Mexicali, MX at Mexicali Bariatric Center with Dr. Antonio Esquerra.

Wonderful doctor, wonderful staff, nice private room.....would do it again in a heartbeat!!


I would most definitely consider surgery in Mexico. In Tijuana there is hospital CER that specializes in bariatric surgery!! It's beautiful!!!


I went to Tijuana in November and I had the best experience. The medical care was top notch and the surgeon's staff was warm, knowledgeable and loving. They greeted me with hugs when their driver dropped me off the first day. The hospital staff was plentiful and so sweet, I honestly could not believe how many nurses they had on my floor. I used Dr. Kelly Ramos in Tijuana. I would also check out Dr. Alvares from Endobariatric. He has the #askdra youtube and he is full of information. I think the youtube channel is called endobariatric. Watch his videos and he will actually answer your questions that you ask in the comments section. My surgery with Dr. Ramos cost $4,900 and that included the hospital, surgery, hotel, etc. I only had to pay for the flight to San Diego.

I had mine done in Tijuana with Tijuana Bariatrics... Dr. Fernando Garcia. The process was fabulous. The staff at the hospital professional and the follow-up has been amazing.

What do you do about post opp visits or check ups?

Please look into Dr Illan with bariatricpal. I had mine done on April 21st and it was the best decision I could have made! I am thrilled. There are many testimonials to be seen in the Mexico & Self Pay forum...look in the General Weight loss forum to find it.
