Have you lined up your after care here? You can save money going to another country but many docs will not treat you when you come back because they don't know exactly what was done and how it is in there.

I had a gastric sleeve in Mexico with Dr. Aceves. I had great care and a great experience. I'd previously had a lap band which was removed because of the damage to my stomach. The care was top notch. My doctor here was supportive and works with me on my weight management and healthy eating.

I had the sleeve in Mexico in March. Best decision I've ever made. Dr Carlos Altamirano Cano was my surgeon. I did a year of research before I chose him. He's also a trauma surgeon, which lead me to want to choose him, because just in case there was issues during surgery. He's got a wonderful Facebook group, and is very easy to reach anytime I have questions.

Have you ever seen the TV Botched from people who had their surgery in Mexico.... save and have it done where you live....check out the cost in Canada they would be much safer than Mexico..
