Sleeve Gastrectomy: Stories

Dr. Jaime Ponce De Leon - Tijuana, Mexico

This group of doctors saved my life! I've lost 120 lbs with the "sleeve" surgery and am very pleased with the level of service offered by this caring group of healthcare providers in Mexico. An added bonus: the price is about half of the cost in the U.S., plus the procedure can be performed quickly (over a four day weekend) safely (this group is very experienced) and with a nice trip to the beautiful Pacific Ocean in Baja, California. Recovery is only two nights in a clean, well-appointed hospital with very kind nursing staff and one night at Grace Guesthouse, operated by a bi-lingual (the owner in from the U.S.) caring team and overlooks the Pacific Oceans. They also provide transportations to and from the San Diego airport.

Great review?
