I am going to have my surgery done in Mexico on August 21st. Initially I was scared cause of the things you hear but a coworker just had hers done and is doing great. Because I know someone who recently did it I feel comfortable. The only thing she regrets is not doing it sooner.

It's so great to know someone else considering mexico for their sleeve. I think my main concern is post op care. I'm concern about leak. I know that doctors here in the US will refuse to fix surgery done in Mexico or even worst insurance will deny coverage to fix anything done outside the US.

I'm considering getting surgery done in Mexico. I have insurance that would pay for it if I had a year of proof that I have been on a diet and on an workout program under a doctors care. I don't have that.
It sounds like getting surgery in Mexico is great! I just am afraid of getting scammed. But I'm ready to take the plung!


That's the reason I considered Mexico ! I know it's very risky but I did a lot of research comparing belite, ALM and of course BariatricPal of Mexico and I made my final pick which was Dr Illan @ BariatricPal Mexico. I guess my only complaint is communication with my surgery coordinator Bill seems like it's hard to get a hold of him. I guess the easiest way to contact him is to message him online on their website and tell him your going to call him so he will answer your call but if your just call him with out messaging him he won't answer. Emailing Bill is also an issue so before you call the (619) number send him a chat message and he will answer for sure. Good luck ! Do a lot of research on who you pick.

I am also going to Mexico on 8/7 with surgery on 8/8. I was told nothing about a pre-op diet. I am with Dr. Covarrubias with ALM. I saw someone mention a 2 week liquid diet? ???

Yes different doctors do prefer having their patient go on a liquid diet before surgery.

I've found my results with post op check ins and general contact from my Tijuana surgery, than I had when I went to Miami for surgery. I would not go back to the US for surgery.

I contacted Mexico Bariatric Center and have started the ball rolling. I asked about the pre op diet.Chloe (the woman who game me initial info) said that the pre op diet depends on BMI and other health factors. It's not the same for everybody.

Is anybody else going with MBC?

      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.
