Mexico for the complicated

[Stefistan 20]

I'm at a point of taking another shot at Mexico and want to make sure that I'm not overlooking any good options.

I went down to OCC in May of 2016 and left without a sleeve because when Dr Ortiz went in my stomach wasn't where it was supposed to be. I went home crushed and believing I had situs inversus then flogged off 40 lbs on my own (which I've gained back). Eventually I crawled out of my depressed hole far enough to start looking for a surgeon who has done any sort of weight loss surgery on situs inversus patients. This isn't a complaint about OCC- he erred on the side of caution and gave me a refund; the care was outstanding and I've sent lots of friends that way.

I found a doc in LA who had and flew down to see him then started some preop testing. The abdominal Ultrasound and X-ray showed that while my stomach is in fact on the wrong side, everything else is right where it ought to be. Because of this, my insurance company won't pay for the super expensive out-of-network guy in Beverly Hills. I've got a consult with someone local but discovered today that I can't get an endoscopy done until February which would, because of my school schedule, prevent me from having surgery until next fall. I'm keeping my consult appointment but I'm also looking at Mexico again.

If you went to Mexico and were a "weird" or complicated case, who did you use and how happy were you? I just can't live like this another year.
