    Default Looking for a surgeon in Indiana/Kentucky Area?

    I am considering gastric sleeve surgery and not sure where to start. I guess I need to find a surgeon first. My sister had amazing results from a clinic in Tijuana but not sure if I am that adventurous.

    I was the same way when I first started looking for a surgeon. I looking in the US, but the hoops I had to jump through were insane. At the time my family moved often for work, so I was never in one place long enough to be able to complete the process. So I began to look in MX for good surgeons. I just had my one year surgiversary Oct. 5th. I had my surgery with the Santa Fe Medical Group. My surgeon was AMAZING, his name was Dr. Sergio Quinones. At the of my surgery, I had never been out of the country before and was very nervous about it. I have had a number of surgeries performed here in the US, both at Hospitals and Surgical Facilities, and I got to say that MX too much better care of me than at least half of the surgeries that I have had here in the US. With this surgery it is important to feel confident in whatever doctor that you choose. The best way to decide is do your research and talk to as many previous patients, especially ones that have had surgery recently, as you can. The sleeve was the best decision that I have ever made for myself. Best of luck on your decsion!
