WORTH IT$4,000
After being obese my entire life, I spent over a year researching bariatric surgery. Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover it, so I decided to head to Mexico. Through my research, I decided to go with Dr. Carlos Altamirano Cano in Tijuana México, through BariatricPal. My price is $4000. That includes everything between being picked up at the airport, to being dropped back off at the airport 5 days later. Dr. Altamirano completed his formation as a surgeon in Dr. Valentín Gómez Farías Hospital (one of the most renowned hospitals in Mexico). He trained in basic and advanced laparoscopic procedures like cholecystectomy, inguinal and post incisional hernia repair, Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication and bariatric procedures like Gastric Sleeve and bypass. He also has experience in the management of emergency and critically ill patients, is certified in Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS certification of the American College of Surgeons) and Advanced Cardiovascular life Support (ACLS certification of the American Heart Association). He was a Red Cross volunteer for a year and has worked for multiple Non-Profit organizations.

March 4th came and I got my sleeve in Mexico. Easiest and best experience ever. I feel fantastic, the care I had in mexico was great and my surgeon was fantastic. I'm so happy! Day 3 post op, I walked all over San Diego over 13000 steps according to my fitbit. I barely feel like I had surgery.
