    Duodenal switch done in Mexico? How much did it cost and were you satisfied?

    I paid 12,500 for my surgery with Dr. Esquerra in Mexicali , because it was a revision . I would do it again in a heartbeat. The car was outstanding and I'm losing faster than I expected.

    Considering Mexicali or ALO in Mexico for surgery...concerned about safety.

    I had my surgery in Mexicali, and I felt safe the entire time during my stay . Yes , we are in a beautiful hotel the night before surgery. The rest of the stay , we were in the hospital (my friend slept in the room with me ) She ate in the cafeteria and in a couple of local restaurants.
