Gastric Sleeve in Tijuana, Mexico – Patient Testimonial

Victoria Ramos of California opted to go for gastric sleeve in Tijuana, Mexico. Here’s what she had to say post surgery:

“My name is Victoria Ramos, and I live in California..and I work as an office manager at a manufacturing company. My challenges with being overweight started when I was really young, and the diet and the exercise were always an option but very hard to stick with when you have especially, in my background is a Hispanic family, where food is always, you know, a main way to mingle with the family and have get together(s) and so eating the right food and the right portions was always very difficult for me…I decided I had to take another step in order to reach my goal.

I selected the gastric sleeve because after doing my research I did not want the lap band, I did not want a foreign object in my body, and I did not want the menace of having to go and get it adjusted, I did not want the gastric bypass because I was advised against it because I wanna have children, and it has nutritional side effects on your body. I did want to do something permanent with my life, and gastric sleeve was the choice for me.

Going to Mexico right away people always look at you with a certain amount of shock, like Oh my Gosh you’re getting a surgery in a foreign country but when you do your research you find out that it’s not that rare, it’s actually very common…after I went to go check out the facility it was very easy choice for me to make.

When I went down to the clinic with my mother to check it out before I made the actual decision, I was very comfortable; they were very helpful with answering all my questions, I looked at the cleanliness and the facility was very modern, it looked very nice, I had no reservations, no questions about this is a shady place, this might not work out for me ..I was ready to do it after I saw the actual location, and met with the doctors and had those conversations and had all my questions answered.

I have recommended a couple of my friends and people I know to go have the procedure done in Tijuana or even in Mexico, or anywhere out of the country; it’s not a taboo.”

Gastric sleeve in Mexico does not cost as high as it does in the United States. If you’re a Californian, choosing to have your gastric sleeve in Tijuana would result in more savings, courtesy  the proximity of the Mexican border town to San Diego.
