Hi I am wanting to get the VSG surgery. Will have to go to Mexico for self-pay, as my ins covers no WLS.

Anyone on here had the VSG with Dr. Guajardos? If so, can you tell me about your experience with him and his clinic?

Thanks for your time and honesty.

I am not familiar with that surgeon but I'm sure someone else can comment. I can comment on Dr. Alberto Aceves as I had the revision to a VSG a week ago and had a great experience there.

I just found this:

Bariatric Surgeon Profile - Horacio Guajardo, M.D.

He's only done 85 sleeves. That's not very much sleeve experience. There is a surgeon in TJ and she isn't very experienced either and her patients can eat an entire chicken breast 3 weeks after surgery, I'm 10 months out and I can't eat that much and my stomach has already stretched out. Can you imagine how much she'll be able to eat when hers has stretched? Experience means everything in the world with this procedure.

I have NO clue if this surgeon is great or horrible. I've never heard of him before I read you post. He's in a safe location, that part is good.

He states on his OH profile that he trained Dr. Rumbaut. I'd call Rumbaut's office and verify that. Rumbaut has farrrr more experience than this guy... it kinda doesn't add up.

Just research and verify everything.
