Mexico or Canada



Recommended Posts

Hi All, I am close to my final decision to go ahead with sleeve. I have to pay out of pocket so in Canada the cost is 19,000. Still waffling about Mexico. It is a big cost for me. Any thoughts or experiences in Mexico would be greatly appreciated.

My surgeon does the surgery for less the $12000 here in the states, NO. Check him out . Dr. Vadim Gritsus.

I was in the same boat. RNY in Quebec for $21,000 or Mexico. I chose Mexico, one of the top surgeons. I'm booked for October 30th

I highly recommend my surgeon in Tijuana; Dr. Jaime Ramos Kelly. The surgery was done at Hospitale Angeles and I had a great experience and result.

I used Dr. Quinones at Pompeii Surgical in Tiajuana. I had a great experience. I had no complications and have lost 83 lbs since January.

I went to Dr Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics and had a fantastic experience. I paid 4250 all inclusive, super clean and modern hospital, transportation, and a few days at the mariott, which was also very nice. Dr Garcia is top notch. The care I received was way better than anything i have ever had in the US. My husband wasn't crazy about me getting surgery at all and was really against me going to mexico...until I went and he saw what it was like there and my results. He ended up getting surgery there 5 months after me. We are currently down a little iver 200 between the 2 of us

I went to Mexico. To Juarez. It was all top notch. I had a butler and a safe in my room. They checked on me every hour. It was better than any hospital stay I’ve had. And I stayed at the hospital the whole time.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
