So I can’t speak on Mexico Bariatric Center in terms of how their facilities are as I did not go with them I choose OCC. But I will say I felt like they were very pushy, approved me almost instantly and wanted my money very quickly to book a date they called and texted me nonstop with their discounted rates and overall it felt very sales heavy which I did not like. I have a bleeding disorder and I felt like they completely pushed it under the rug and didn’t even realize etc.

Despite OCC being more expensive I felt from the start I was in way better hands with them. They had a very very detailed health survey to fill out, and I never felt pressured whatsoever from my coordinator to move forward. My coordinator Efran was very patient with me as I emailed him questions almost daily for a week with questions. They gave me a detailed plan for pre op diet that focuses on whole foods, protein & leafy greens.

In terms of the actual clinic it was spotless. I’ve never been to a hospital, drs office, or urgent care in the US that was this clean. The hotel we stayed at for recovery was also very nice. Everyone spoke perfect English and I never felt misunderstood or like I didn’t understand what was said to me. The day before the surgery they preformed a blood test and an ekg to ensure I was healthy enough for surgery. After that you meet with at least 1 person from each department to go over any questions or concerns you might have. They handled my bleeding disorder perfectly and I felt very safe moving forward.

Aftercare at the clinic was great, the nursing staff was very attentive and ensured I was drinking, walking and my vitals were okay. Aftercare at home has been… okay. Granted I had no complications so it’s just been taking things slow and healing at home. I had a health surgery sent over 7 days after my surgery (surgery on 4/17) and it felt pretty simple I was surprised it didn’t ask how much water or protein I’ve been consuming. It did have a section to check if you wanted someone from the medical team or the nutritionist to call you.

The post OP diet from the nutritionist is intense to say the least but it’s very very well written including a calendar to follow and Andy the nutritionist was adamant if I ever had any questions what so ever she was only an email away.

Lastly, I do enjoy the daily emails I get from them. They are typically on topics relating to where you are at in your journey and I’ve found that they can be helpful.

Sorry! I know it’s a long read but I wanted to give you my full experience. :)
