Hi Charisma!
I have not had surgery myself, but did accompany two of my grand-daughters for theirs last July and last September. We went to Tijuana to the Jerusalem Clinic; I don't remember the doc's name but he did a good job with both of them. The first one has lost 140 pounds, and the last one has lost 104, so they're thrilled.
Their patients do well, as long as they get out and move about very quickly...for example, they WALKED!! up the stairs to their overnight rooms from the recovery room...so they DO NOT baby you! I did stay with them both throughout the whole time we were there, and I recommend that if you go, you have someone go with you.
The cost was reasonable (about $6500 or so, if I remember correctly) plus air fare.
If you decide to go, look up the Jerusalem clinic along with others. And too, if you decide to have it done in Mexico, don't expect state of the art everything like we have here...'cause it's not! But it's still adequate, and like I said, my girls did well and they're just beautiful and pleased with the results.
Good luck!
