Office review - totally blown away by the level of care and professionalism that I’ve been given

I had a gastric sleeve almost a week ago. I was totally blown away by the level of care and professionalism that I’ve been given, from the very beginning of this journey. Martha Mejia was my initial contact and turned out to be my constant source of encouragement, information, and support. Dr. Garcia is second to none. I could not have been in better hands. I think the whole medical staff came to my room to check on me and to give me information about my surgery and recovery.

51years Old; Tired of Battling Weight for Most of my Life!

So I had been considering a gastric sleeve for several years, but insurance wouldn't cover the cost because my BMI is not high enough. The total cost would be around $14,000 which is more than I can afford to spend. After doing some investigating online I decided Tijuana was my best choice. I contacted Tijuana Bariatrics and spoke with a coordinator who spoke good English. She set everything up and stayed in contact right up until I arrived. The service was fantastic as well

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy - BMI 31.7 and 46 Years Old - Tijuana, MX

I have struggled to lose weight for years. I would lose and then gain it all back but for the last 10+ years I was never able to get beyond 130 lbs. (I'm 4'10"). At my height that is still considered overweight. My highest weight was up to 157.5lbs but where I would stay most of the time was around the 145-147lbs area. For my height, this was considered obese. My husband had VSG in August of 2016 and I saw what it did for him and I wanted the same for me. Besides the fact

Tijuana Bariatrics/Dr. Fernando Garcia - Mexico

I was hesitant having surgery outside of the US, but I knew individuals from my hometown who used Dr. Fernando Garcia for WLS. The whole process was easy and I was worried for no reason. I've never received care in the US like I did from Dr. Garcia, his staff, and the medical professionals at the hospital. I was sleeved on 2/17/16 with ZERO complications and I reached my goal weight within 5 months. My whole life has changed for the better and I would do it all over again tomorrow.

5'5", 205 Lbs, Single Incision Gastric Sleeve, Dr. Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics - Mexico

I have surgery scheduled on Monday (12/7/15) for a single incision gastric sleeve, with Dr. Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics. I am 5'5" and 200lbs. I started my "pre-op" diet yesterday and I am pretty miserable. 3 protein shakes a day (premier protein) and one salad with light dressing. Karen is my coordinator at Tijuana Bariatrics and she has been very sweet. I work for a plastic surgeon and will say that Tijuana Bariatrics is a little unorganized but mostly with their

Gastric Sleeve with Dr Garcia, Tijuana - "Only Wish I'd Done It Sooner" - Mexico

Six months ago I had a single incision gastric sleeve performed by Dr Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics, Mexico. It is the best thing I've ever done! I've gone from 113kgs to 82kgs, making my BMI now a healthy 25 compared to a BMI of 34 ('obese') when I had the procedure. My life has been transformed in terms of confidence, health, and energy levels and I'm now looking forward to a long happy middle age free of disability :) I decided to do something radical after struggling
