My experience with Dr. Camelo at the Florence Hosptial in Tijuana Mexico was awesome. The Dr. is experienced and extremely professional. The medical staff here makes you feel at home. They are very attentive to your needs. This has to be one of the best decision I have made in a while. i would strongly suggest anyone thinking of get the gastric sleeve to chose this doctor and this hospital the coordinator Bianca and Veronica were the best. Thank you for making my weight lose experience great.

9 days post op and feeling great
glow14January 28, 2015
I had my sleeve done in Tijuana Mexico on the 19th of January 2015 and I am 9 days post op. I feel great, no regrets. I seem to get tired little easier, but it get better every day. I am drinking about 24 ounces of water a day. I just started on my protein drink( I get about 30 g) twice a day and I just started my cream of chicken soup about 3ounces. I don't have major hungry cravings. It is mostly head hunger( seems every other commercial on tv is food). I threw up once from eating the jello to quickly, that won't happen again. It was unpleasant and al title painful. I stared at 197 - pre op diet 189 before surgery. I have not weighed myself yet. But my husband and I have noticed the difference. My face I slimmer and my tummy is really decreasing in size. I am really concerned about inches rather than weight. I would like to fix in a size 8 but would settle for a 10. My incisions are healing nicely. I change the dressing everyday the surgeon did an excellent job making them neat. I would recommend Dr. Camelo Ramos in Tijuana Mexico. gas pains were minimal, but you must adhere to the pre op diet. It is not to loss weight but to shrink your liver to allow the Dr to manuver inside of you without complication. Don't have photos yet. I am am happy. If I could be of help please reach out. This sight really helped me when I was making the decision to have surgery and I want to be helpful as well. Will keep you guys posted. I am loving the new me.

Hi there! I am considering the sleeve surgery by Dr. Ramos in Tijuana. I am a little nervous about not just the surgery, but having it done in Mexico, and complications after the surgery. I've read flying too soon afterwards can cause blood clots. It sounds like you had a good experience. Were you up and about 9 days later, feeling good and back to normal? Is there anything you can tell me to help me make this decision? How were you feeling when you left the hospital? I would have to go by myself to have the surgery and am concerned about flying home by myself and whether I'll feel good enough. Anything you can share will be much appreciated! Thank you and good luck to you in weight loss goals :)

In going to have surgery with Dr Camelo as well on June 8(2015). Mexico hospitals are good, just a but older than US versions usually, I've met fine very good drs here, (I've lived here in Tijuana for 4 years... From Missouri originally) if you have any questions I can help with let me know.
By the way, I know of many people who've flown soon after surgery. But let the surgeon/agency know your concerns as well, they may have more information for you to help.
