I went to Mexico Bariatric Center (MBC) and had surgery with Dr. Rodriguez Lopez. I’m 1.5 weeks post-op now, and I’ve already gone from 272 lbs to 248 lbs since my pre-op! The care I received was excellent. The nurses were amazing—they’re actually medical students training to become doctors, so they were very knowledgeable, friendly, and always took time to explain what they were doing. Their English was great too, so there were no communication issues. The total cost, including flights, was around $4,200, which is very reasonable compared to U.S. prices. Post-op has been going smoothly—my only real challenge has been getting enough water in since I didn’t have the habit before surgery. I follow up with my regular doctor since my insurance doesn’t cover bariatrics, and at my last appointment, my PCP said I’m healing very well and right on track. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez Lopez and the team at MBC. The experience was smooth, affordable, and supportive from start to finish.
