MEXICO BARIATRIC CENTER - WARNING


DO NOT LOSE MONEY!

Someone lost money by trusting Mexico Bariatric Center, the Weight Loss Center,
providing a deposit, and then Mexico Bariatric Center gave additional
information which raised clear warning signs. This caused us to dig deeper and
ask more questions, and when we found out that our suspicions are likely
correct, it was already too late to get back the deposit.
Unlike other bariatric surgery centers which give you a deadline where you can
still get your deposit back, Mexico Bariatric Center does not return deposits
under any circumstances!
We initially created this website to prevent others from making the same
mistake, and educate those looking for bariatric care, so that this is the last
time someone loses our money to this Weight Loss center.
Unfortunately, while researching he Mexico Bariatric Center (and its parent
company - Sourcis, Inc.), we realized that the dangers are much greater than
just the money. Due to the efficiency that Mexico Bariatric Center has in making
reviews "disappear", it became extremely important for us to try to protect as
many people as possible. In a form of poetic justice, we used some of the advice
on Sourcis Inc's website to make our website better for searches (SEO). We will
not be surprised if Sourcis Inc takes down the advice-page after they discover
our website.


THIS WARNING IS ABOUT MEXICO BARIATRIC CENTER, NOT MEXICALI

This website is a warning for Mexico Bariatric Center. Not about Mexicali
Bariatric Center. Those are two totally different medical centers.
Mexico Bariatric Center with Hospital Mi Doctor and Dr Alejandro Gutierrez is in
Tijuana, and Mexicali Bariatric Center with Almater Hospital and Dr Wilhelmy is
in Mexicali. Please don't confuse the two.
We highly recommend the Mexicali Bariatric Center, Almater Hospital, and Dr
Wilhelmy, and we do not want to hurt their business in any way.


WHO ARE THEY

Mexico Bariatric Center is owned by Sourcis Inc from California. We are not even
sure Mexico Bariatric Center is a real entity, as the only address we found for
Mexico Bariatric Center was the same address as Hospital Mi Doctor. From what we
can tell Sourcis Inc and Mexico Bariatric Center provide referrals for Mexican
medical services and set up the hotels and transport.


GENERAL BARIATRIC SURGERY INFORMATION

This website not only tells you why you probably do not want to be treated by
Mexico Bariatric Center, Hospital Mi Doctor, and Dr Alejandro Gutierrez, but
also will provide very important information about Bariatric Surgery in general,
no matter where you are treated.

DISCLAIMERS

It should be obvious - this website is not affiliated with the Mexico Bariatric
Center. We are also not affiliated with any other weight loss, medical facility
or bariatric company. This website contains only our opinions and speculations,
based on the limited research we have conducted, and was created to be a service
for the public. We have not received any funds from any weight loss, bariatric,
or medical facility in order to create this website. We reserve the right to
become affiliated with such companies in the future, but only after we have
researched that the medical facilities do not have the warning signs listed on
this website.
This website was not created by the person who applied for care at the Mexico
Bariatric Center. It was created by friends who saw the emails and conducted
additional research. We stand up for one another.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DEPOSITS ARE FINAL AT THIS WEIGHT LOSS CENTER

Most medical centers require a deposit to reserve a date for surgery. Many of
them will return your deposit if you cancel the reservation up to one or two
weeks before the surgery date. This is because they start reserving hospital and
hotel services, and they need to cover those expenses if you cancel. Until you
pay the deposit, these medical centers have no problem giving you all the
information about the medical services provided, including the entire surgery
"information package".
Mexico Bariatric Center, on the other hand, made it clear that they will not
refund a deposit under any circumstances. It doesn't matter whether they already
paid money to other companies, or whether they had any other damages. They do
inform you that the deposit is non-refundable, but what they don't tell you is
that you will learn critical information after you give them the deposit.
After the deposit was paid, they sent the name of the hospital (which
"surprisingly" does not appear on their website), they recommended to bring
$1,000 in cash (why?), and said that companions can only be with the patient at
certain times of the day. This immediately caused us to be suspicious and dig
deeper. What we found out was mind-boggling. They were asked more questions, but
they did not respond. The deposit was requested to be refunded, but they said
that they will not refund the money under any circumstances.


Reasons the money should have been refunded:
 * Barely any time passed since the deposit
 * The deposit was based on partial information, and the full details were only
   disclosed after they received the deposit
 * The only thing that happened since the deposit was that they gave information
   about the surgery
 * No services were provided and no third-party expenses occurred
 * There was still plenty of time until the surgery date, so they could have
   easily filled up the reservation with someone else


Possible reasons why the money was not refunded (speculations):
 * Too many people may be cancelling once they find out the full information
   about Mexico Bariatric Center
 * People fall for the sunk-cost fallacy, and continue with the surgery even
   with all the possible dangers involved
 * Deposits may be their main source of income
 * It is hard for US citizens to sue in Mexico
 * Most people just give up


DO YOUR RESEARCH!

We highly recommend that you do your research and ask the questions listed on
this site before paying a deposit or schedule surgery at Mexico Bariatric
Center.
Hopefully, this will be the last case where someone loses money to Sourcis Inc.
or takes risks with Mexico Bariatric Center.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE SYSTEM

In order for the Mexico Bariatric Center to be successful in keeping your money,
there are a few basic techniques that can be used. In this section, we will
categorize those techniques, so that you can be aware of the pitfalls.


WITHHOLD INFORMATION

Mexico Bariatric Center only provided the important information after receiving
the deposit. The information to be withheld does not appear on the website. One
example is the name of the hospital where the surgery takes place. There are
pretty bad reviews online about this hospital, so disclosing this information up
front may prevent a potential customer from paying the deposit. Another example
is the companion policy (or any of the policies during the process). If you know
that your companion will not be able to be with you at all times, you may be
concerned about the treatment, especially if the hospital may provide bad
service as mentioned in the reviews. Another example is the fees you may be
charged. If the surgery cost is all-inclusive, there is really no need to be
bringing cash with you. The customer can be told to bring a lot of cash only
after the deposit is paid.


NEVER REFUND THE DEPOSIT

The customer is bound to find out what is wrong with the service. This website
is one source of information for such discovery. If the customer paid the
deposit and cannot get it back, you now have the customer in your grasp. Due to
sunk-cost fallacy the customer may even decide to continue with the procedure,
even with really bad reviews online, mainly because of the amount of good
reviews. If the customer continues with the procedure, you'll get even more
money, especially if you add hidden fees.


OBTAIN GOOD REVIEWS

With all of the bad reviews, mainly about the quality of the hospital, how can
there be so many happy customers? How can customers not notice the filthy
conditions at the hospital? We did find possible evidence of many purchased
reviews on Yelp's hidden reviews: On 11/7/2019 there were 7 five-star reviews in
a single day and on 11/6/2019 there were 14 five-star reviews in a single day!
This is pretty strong evidence that these reviews were pre-ordered. Other
"dumps" of five-star reviews occurred on 6/24/2019 (7 reviews) and 2/20/2017 (5
reviews). Yelp probably noticed the weird "dumps" of five-star reviews and
decided to "hide" them.


USE MODERATED FORUMS/REVIEWS

There are public forums that allow users to freely talk about the bariatric
treatment. The problem with such forums is that you can get negative reviews as
well as positive reviews, and this can even cause happy customers to realize
that they've been had. The solution to this is to make sure you point your
customers at forums that you can control and that allows you to delete any bad
post. Some of the reviews we've seen - talk about how they posted on the
"official" forum, and that Mexico Bariatric Center deleted these posts.
There are some places, like BBB, where the company can simply respond, and then
complaints are closed. Simple reviews are completely ignored when evaluating the
rating on BBB.

We have also found an interesting website with only 5-star reviews - Obesity
Help. The last review was in December 2021, so perhaps they don't feel the need
to add any more reviews.


APPEAR TO BE IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY

If you live in the US, it is very difficult to sue a company in Mexico. You also
would not know about local laws and consumer protection services. Can a company
keep a deposit if there are no services rendered and no damage was caused to the
company? Can the company keep a deposit if the customer cancelled within a day
or two? Many countries have protections in place to protect consumers, but you
would not know about the protections in Mexico. Fortunately, Sourcis Inc. (which
owns Mexico Bariatric Center) is actually in California, so we can actually work
with US laws.

UNSANITARY FACILITIES

Many reviews talk about how filthy or disgusting the facilities were.
Bruce Kepford writes: "the "hospital" was visibly filthy from top to bottom. My
sheets were dirty the first time I saw them. The door jambs were visibly filthy,
the floor was disgusting, the bed frame looked like it had never been washed or
dusted. One night nurse came in to treat my wound and brought a tube of ointment
with her. It had been used in other rooms before. I know this because it was
half gone when she walked in. She put her gloved finger on the end of the tube
to get ointment, then applied it to my would and THEN put the same gloved finger
back on the end of the same tube to get more ointment, then back to my open
wound. So, this told me that she had cross contaminated that tube with God knows
how many other patients. Yuck. Danger."

 * Christin La Rue writes: "There was no hot water in our bathroom. The shower
   was full of thick green mold. The shower doors were broken off and unusable.
   The floor drain is held by duct tape. The mirror fell off the wall and sat on
   the floor. We had no handsoap (luckily I brought sanitizer to Mexico with
   me). The air conditioner was BROKEN. It was so hot they opened the window for
   us for our entire stay. Unfortunately there is ALOT of construction and
   traffic noise 24 hrs p/day so sleep was impossible. The trash was overflowing
   and never changed over a 4 day stay. Needles, bloody bandages were on the
   floor. The toilets in the waiting area were dirtier than most gas station
   bathrooms. The one in our room was about the same. I came home with two of my
   incisions infected. They were red and swollen in about a 3" radius each. Two
   weeks of doxycycline before they cleared up. Nothing was sterile at this
   hospital. Nurses did not wear gloves for wound care."
 * baribetty writes about her partner: "his incisions bled through his gown
   after surgery, they would not give him a clean gown and told him he should
   just put on his street clothes. So, he wore a bloody gown for 2 days as the
   waist band on his sweat pants would’ve been super uncomfortable.
   bandages/tape on floor of recovery room from previous patient. Less than
   ideal bathroom cleanliness in room Broken toilet for the entirety of his stay
   (he requested it to be looked at, at least 6 times before just pleading for
   it to be turned off at the Water so it would stop running so he could sleep.
   There was urine and vomit in his toilet for his whole stay."
 * Martino Starace writes: "it’s very DIRTY, my sister who had her surgery there
   was neglected her entire stay. Her room was disgusting, blood on her bed and
   the floor, that wasn’t even hers. She got sick from lack of nauseous medicine
   and vomited on her bed and they just laid another sheet on top of her vomit!!
   Dirty needles were left on her bed there was not even a needle waste disposal
   in her room. She came home with an infection and we have the labs and
   pictures to prove it."
 * Ellie J. writes: "The showers in the hotel and the hospital had mold growing
   in them and were clearly not cleaned. The hallways and carpeting in the Hyatt
   smelled like mildew badly. The nurses left needles and equipment all over my
   room. They left a cup full of the blood they drained on my nightstand for
   hours until I asked them to move it. Then they dumped it down the bathroom
   sink."
 * Andrea M. writes: "Blood was transferred around my bed and door knob when my
   IV was adjusted which made sense why I saw blood on the bed switches and wall
   upon arrival. I used flip flops in the shower, it just didnt look too clean."
 * Joe G. writes: "Quick tips: Bring towels and shower shoes (bathroom pic
   posted). I performed a brief cleaning session after finding old blood stains
   on the bed which later was explained by their handling manners when dealing
   with patients. While cleaning up an IV mess, they allowed blood to leak
   carelessly on the floor and onto the bed. No clean up from them afterward."
 * Cassaundra Rippon writes: "The location is dirty, run down and unsanitary."
 * Ivan C writes: "Disgusting ,dirty, nightmare!!"


INFECTIONS

It's very difficult to get good results if the facilities are unsanitary.
Flavina L. writes: I have been home 2 days and i have to have an emergency
surgery due to a life-threatening infection. Which is most likely caused by my
room that i stayed in this hospital that was filthy upon arrival. Blood on the
sheets and floor that was present upon arrival. It was mortifying. Not to
mention the used needles they left on my bed, there was not even a needle waste
disposal box in my room. I vomited on my bed and they covered it with another
sheet without even wiping it up. Just disgusting. I doubt they even sanatize
their surgery instruments.

 * Anonymous writes: "I had veins damage, I almost bleed to death and was very
   close to death when I returned home, filled with infection, swollen organs
   and gaping hole in my new stomach which described by the ** GI team as the
   shoddiest surgery ever. There was alot of scar tissue and mesh that had to be
   removed to successfully revise the surgery. In addition, the quality of
   sutures was not much better than fishing line."
 * Darlin P writes: "I had surgery and ended up in the hospital back in the U.S.
   with pneumonia, most likely from improperly sterilized equipment my Dr. said,
   and having to have a blood transfusion because they lied to me and told me
   that all the blood that I was pooping out and throwing up was normal. I ended
   up having to receive 4 pints of blood because my blood count was at a 5 when
   it should have been at a 12 and even after the 4 pints I was still only at a
   9. The social worker at the hospital told me that have have several people
   return with complications who go there to have procedures. YOUR LIFE ISN'T
   WORTH IT!"
 * Jo M. (an RN) writes: "My internal surgery site turned into an infection and
   went septi and required me to spend 5 days in the hospital after returning
   home."
 * baribetty writes about her partner: "His (incisions) were open and we changed
   the gauze every day. It’s a little scary looking and you’re left wondering,
   “is this normal? Are these infected?”"
 * E G writes: "My incisions got infected."


WAS IT A SUCCESS?

Even without the infections, there were several reviews talking about the
surgery not being done properly.
Janet B writes: "I am unable to eat or drink without pain. In the US, it was
discovered that my esophagus was damaged and now I will have a feeding tube for
the rest of my life. They won’t take my calls since I told them I’m having
complications."

 * Mirna B. writes: "My former husband had surgery at Mexico Bariatric Center in
   2013. He suffered a pulmonary embolism and died the following morning!"
 * Mya Curvz writes: "After surgery I felt very minimal restriction as if
   nothing was done at all. Now 7 months post op I have only lost an additional
   15 pounds while following a scheduled nutritional diet. I called and informed
   Tatiana of the issue and requested a correctional revision. I was denied and
   told that I would have to pay full price AGAIN in order to receive the
   initial results that I’ve already invested my hard earned money in."
 * E G writes: "They made my sleeve too big and I didn’t have enough weight
   loss. I’m going to have to get a revision due to it not being done right the
   first time."
 * Nienna Klosora writes: "My mother has been in and out of the hospital since
   November 2016 due to their incompetence!"


NURSING STAFF COMPETENCY

After the surgery, you would hope that the nursing staff knows how to take care
of you, or at least know how to speak English.
Andrea M. writes: "The IV blew my vain twice which caused my blood to seep into
the IV and "specialist" needed to find a new vain but messed that up by poking
too much in the same place with the needle. Another specialist was called in and
he just couldn't find 1. It was decided by I dont know who not to give me an IV
my last night in there which made me very happy."
Christin La Rue writes: "Only one nurse out of about 20 spoke English. When I
asked for jello, they brought me a pillow. They did not know how to use
translators on their phone."

 * Ellie J. writes: They could not run an IV to save their lives. They blew out
   a lot of people's veins. Our IV tubes would be red because they weren't
   working correctly. I woke up out of surgery with 2 men just yelling "move!"
   At me over and over. I was in soooo much pain and they just wanted me to
   switch beds. The hospital staff was not very helpful. We would ask a question
   and they would say "let me check" and we would not see them again. The people
   of the first floor were treated so well! When we shared stories it was so
   crazy. I get like a second class citizen. It turns out the first floor had 5
   patients and the second had 15. The floors had the same amount of staff."
 * Ellie J. writes: "Every time I would ask for anything in recovery the nurses
   would say "let me check" and never come back. A lot of us had blood running
   up our Iv's. They blew out a lot of people's veins multiple times. They
   finally just removed mine the last night because they couldn't find a vein to
   use."
 * Pam D. writes: "My roomates IV was leaking and the nurse said he was going to
   get someone to change it. No one came back for hours. She had to call again,
   then they changed her IV. Then the next morning she woke up with her sheet
   soaking wet because her IV leaked again."
 * Bruce Kepford writes: "there is virtually no night nurse staff, there are no
   call buttons in the rooms and the "nurses" don't speak English. So, if you
   need help you just yell until somebody shows up and then you are unable to
   communicate."
 * Joe G. writes: "Back at the hospital; given a sense that I'm watching the
   nursing staff perform as if they're Privates in the Army fumbling with what
   their duties required them to do on a daily basis. At shift change in the
   evening, an odd practice of either miscommunication or bad manners had about
   five different people coming in and out performing the same check with each
   saying they were taking over for the previous shift. As they entered in the
   late hours, prefacing the switching on the bright light and walking in
   without a care for noise discipline for the sake of a sleeping patient they
   honored us with a quick loud double bang on the door to announce their
   assistance."
 * Evan Towle writes: "The overnight nurses _do not speak English_. There is no
   one to help you communicate anything. They're also unprofessional. The
   nursing care was awful. It was like everyone's first day nursing. There are
   as many drivers as there are nurses. Too many guys with no medical training
   handing out medicine"
 * Pam D. writes: "Hours would go by and nobody checked on me. They only come in
   to check your vitals every 8 hours."
 * baribetty writes: "Technically MBC contracts with the hospital to use their
   facility, and the nurses do not work for them directly. They have no skin in
   the MBC game when it comes to patient satisfaction and it shows. We hoped
   that tipping would help, but it didn’t seem to make a difference."
 * E G writes: "The night nurses ignored me after surgery."


MEDICATION

You would hope that the medication would be given properly, especially when you
are in pain, even if they don't speak English. Perhaps the trick is to feed
them.
Flavina L. writes: "I was neglected my entire stay and I was in horrible pain
the entire time and constantly denied pain meds. On the last night my husband
bought the nurses food and they finally gave me pain meds."

 * baribetty writes about her partner: "any time he asked for pain or nausea
   medication the nurse would say “I will check” and leave the room. Then, he’d
   wait an hour and have to ask again, only to hear the same response. You’re
   pretty on your own during recovery. He found that this was also the case for
   the other patients he drove back to San Diego with after surgery. It was not
   simply a bad experience, but the standard."
 * Christin La Rue writes: "When we requested pain meds the first 24 hours after
   surgery the nurse stated it was only allowed every 12 hours and we had to
   request them. On the third day when a specialist had to come see me, we
   learned that they were written for every 6 hours WITHOUT request necessary.
   Both my roommate and I were in excruciating pain the first 24 hours and only
   got two doses of pain meds rather than four."
 * Martino Starace writes: "Denied pain medicine and was only given medicine
   after her husband bribed the nurses by buying them food!"
 * Evan Towle writes: "Poor pain management. Poor nausea management. There are
   effective drugs available for both, and the clinic has them. However, you
   will not get them. Even if you explain past reactions to anesthesia."
 * Ellie J. writes: "The pain management in the hospital is terrible. No one has
   checked on me at all."
 * Pam D. writes: "I had a reaction to a medication they gave me. I figured out
   after the second IV. I told them no more just give me tylenol. That was hard
   to communicate to the nurses. I was really scared because my heart rate and
   blood pressure was up. My head was shaking like I was having a seizure. My
   entire body was having involuntary movements. I don't think the nurses even
   understood what I was telling them. They just said "that's normal". Those
   were all side effects of medication. I was so wired from the medication they
   gave me that I did not sleep from the time I got out of surgery at 1PM until
   the next afternoon. I was awake all Wednesday night. They tell you there will
   be someone there to help you if you do not understand Spanish. Not exactly
   true. My roommate and I had to scream to get the nurses to come to our room
   to give us our call buttons. When you use them they come to the room turn it
   off and throw it back on the floor."
 * Christin La Rue writes: "I let them know ahead of time that I brought my cpap
   and sometimes have difficulties with oxygen exchange after anesthesia. Right
   after surgery my oxygen level dropped to 80 (normal is 95-100). They gave me
   a canula (hose that goes under your nose to administer oxygen) but it wasn't
   giving me enough. So they gave me a full mask. But when night time came and I
   needed to use a cpap they told me to not use my cpap, but for me that is
   super dangerous so then they said stop using oxygen....my level dropped to
   78! Organ damage can begin at that low of a level. The nurse stated I didn't
   need oxygen anymore (luckily this was the nurse who spoke english). I asked
   for a doctor and the specialist came in. They did not have any idea what to
   do for me. So I decided to wear the canula under my cpap mask. Karla
   (administrator for MBC came by and said "Don't worry about the canula, the
   water in your cpap will mix with the air and make oxygen". Ok, first of all
   Karla is not a medical professional, not a nurse and clearly had no idea what
   she was talking about and luckily I knew enough not to listen to her."


WHAT'S WITH THE ICE?

This must be the craziest thing that pops up about the care at Mexico Bariatric
Center. It seems like all the nurses do is to smash bare ice on an possibly
unsanitary counter. The ice smashing seems to be very loud, and perhaps everyone
has to shout in order to hear anything above that noise. Ear plugs? Ear plugs!
Perhaps you need to somehow bring your own crushed ice with you.
Christin La Rue writes: "Ice was made into chips by the pulling a bag out of the
freezer and smashing it with a metal weight (like for fishing) for each cup
...this went on outside our room 24 hrs per day. They picked it up with their
bare hands, off of a counter that was not wiped clean first, and put it in a cup
for you."

 * martin vidrio writes: "Better take plenty of war plugs so don't have to
   listen to beating of ice all night long."
 * Ellie J. writes: "My roommate and I begged for ice chips for over 6 hours
   before we got them."
 * Pam D. writes: "We had to ask repeatedly for ice, tv remote and other
   things."


ROOM CONDITION

Do you get a nice room? With a view? Quiet recovery after surgery? Is the room
bright and cheerful? Yeah, I know we already talked about the sanitary
conditions. But there's more!
Ellie J. writes: "My hospital bed was broken. Our tv (yes you will have a
roommate) had no remote and I had no pillow when I got to the room. They said
they would check on it (which became a theme) we never got a remote. Bring your
own pillow and blanket! You'll have very little room for your stuff."

 * Andrea M. writes: "The facility was bare essentials and no frills I stayed in
   room 203 and was not comfortable or at ease with noise outside my window, but
   I did not complain. If it wasnt construction it was a "concert". I highly
   recommend ear plugs in this room. I was smart enough to bring eye patches
   because there is a window above my door which allowed 24 hour bright lights
   to come through. The TV channels were 90% Spanish so I am glad we had our
   laptop to watch Netflix. The room was VERY cold and the 3 blankets were super
   thin that they gave me, I was glad it was only 2 nights. I needed to wear my
   PJ/nightgown because the hospital gown they gave me was like a 4X & I was a
   XL. So I just used it as a robe when I decided to get up and walk around."
 * Joe G. writes: "if you choose an establishment like this, you can expect no
   frills and a few raised eyebrows throughout your stay. In what seems to be a
   questionable neighborhood, in TJ, this place appears to fit right in.
   Construction sounds adorn your day from sunrise to sunset. As you close your
   eyes to try and sleep, the random loud conversations in the adjacent
   apartment buildings reverberate through the thin pained window just big
   enough to stick your head out if you care to scream at the people that won't
   shut up. we checked into the hotel to find the recurring theme; no frills.
   Thankful for the free WiFi, the room was nice enough to not complain. We
   could've been happier with a bigger bed (two full size beds). Bring eye masks
   if you can't sleep with light. There's a small window above your door open to
   the hallway which allows the staff lighting to beam directly into the room.
   Bring entertainment. You will have WiFi but if you want to watch TV, there's
   only one channel in English."
 * martin vidrio writes: "The bed was absolutely horrible with holes/rips
   everywhere and half a sheet that would not stay on. They give you a "pillow"
   actually really just a couple of pieces of cotton in a case. The case that
   they give you to put over the pillow is just basically a garbage bag."
 * Amber Todd writes: "In recovery room was so loud and nosey. No hot water.
   Good thing I brought my pillow and blanket."


YOU NEED A COMPANION

With all the above issues, you definitely need a companion who stays with you
24/7. Most other bariatric centers we have contacted told us that the companion
can stay in the room, free of charge, for the entire time. Obviously, the hotel
room would have no extra charge for a companion because it is the same room,
right? Well maybe elsewhere. Not in Mexico Bariatric Center and Hospital Mi
Doctor.
We received this information from the coordinator, so it is not only based on
the reviews.

 * El writes: "Just beware that your companion will not be allowed to stay the
   night in the hospital and you will have to pay EXTRA for them to stay at the
   hotel (140$ a night!!!). So after watching their videos and seeing patients
   have someone accompanying them, don’t think that “luxury” is included in the
   package. they basically said I can travel alone and be alone, or have my
   companion travel with me but not be allowed in my room in the hospital when I
   want and pay 435$ extra for. I sent an email explaining that I will not go
   ahead with the surgery and I received an email back with no greeting and only
   one sentence “who is allowing you to have a companion with you at no charge?”
   After saying almost every other clinic/hospital/doctor in Mexico and that
   they could see it if they Googled it (respectfully)"


CUSTOMER SERVICE

We hope that all the medical issues would convince you. If not, we can talk
about the other issues. Customer services seems to be pretty good, until they
have your money, and as long as you don't complain. We saw this happen when all
of our emails were answered promptly UNTIL we found out some issues and asked
some very clear questions. Suddenly, the email was "lost", and the questions
were ignored even when they admitted that they received the questions.

into, trash service and ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS! Everyone who was in my
group said they would NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE COMING HERE!"

 * Ellie J. writes: "I called my American liaison Kathy and she hung up on me.
   Not to mention she was very unhelpful prior to the surgery. Some of the
   ladies that were in my surgery group were actually given information. The
   liaison in the hotel was rude to the companions and full of it. Everyone in
   Mexico was really nice until they got the check. No one called my mom when I
   was out of surgery. They were late for everything. I had to wait an hour and
   a half to be picked up at the airport. Then every time we were transported it
   was delayed by at least 45 minutes. Everyone kept trying to blame everyone
   else "it's the coordinator's fault" "the hospital is separate from us so we
   don't do that"...so many excuses. Don't expect to be treated like a
   person...they are just hurdling cattle. My American coordinator Cathy was
   useless. When I called her for help she hung up on me. When I found out
   several of the other patients had received a lot of help and detailed
   information, I felt pretty terrible. The literature for nutrition and
   recovery has a lot of inconsistent information. One section will say one
   thing and then you'll get an email saying something different and their
   website is different from both. When you're in Mexico 10 minutes means 30, 30
   minutes means an hour and a half, and so on."

 * Andrea M. writes: Upon entering their office there is a desk that looks like
   reception, it is not. The youngster there didnt speak English, didnt care to
   try and really didnt appear to want to help. There were about 3 ladies at any
   given moment conversing amongst themselves. My companion spoke Spanish and
   they still couldnt assist. At this center, the the recovery room staff did a
   lot of fumbling though. A few appeared to be new or not as experienced and
   made me feel as though they did not know what they were doing.

EXTRA FEES

If you thought the price of surgery was all-inclusive, think again. This is
another instance where we saw this ourselves in the emails. Of course they only
mentioned extra fees AFTER the deposit was paid. Fees for everything from
companion in your hotel room to what bags (and size of bags) you bring on the
transportation. What was interesting is that other medical centers did not ask
for "bag fees" and they even sounded puzzled when asked about it. One of the
things Mexico Bariatric Center recommended was to bring $1,000 in cash. This
sounded crazy, as you do not want to carry cash with you in Mexico. After we
read the reviews, we realized that the cash may be needed to pay for all the
surprise fees.
Ellie J. writes: "I was charged for services not rendered. Including CT scan,
Covid testing, and more. When I asked about it the accountant said too bad! When
I asked for a receipt they told me that it would cost $45. I received a separate
bill from the hospital which I had to pay before I could leave."

   Bariatric driver set the whole thing up."

   was in fact deposited into their account. You had previously said this was
   above your pay grade to check into this."
 * Martino Starace writes: "They cheated me out of almost 10,000 dollars!"


WILL YOU GET A REFUND?

Once Mexico Bariatric Center has your money, it may not be easy to get the money
back. This is another issue we have seen ourselves, and not only from the
reviews.
El writes: "They only pretend to care until you make payments. I was lucky I
only paid a deposit. Please do your research and don’t make payments to any
facility until you know what you’re getting into!! Basically they now have all
my medical & personal info and my “non refundable deposit” with poor treatment
in return."

   never comes."
 * LaShanna L writes: "I had a medical emergency the day of my surgery. The
   center canceled my surgery and I went back to the U.S. for treatment. Per MBC
   policy, a patient is ONLY to be charged for services rendered.
   ******************** and one night of hotel stay was all I received. When I
   asked for a refund ********* ( account manager) stated a refund of $3500 USD
   was approved. I was charged close to $500 for hotel and over $400 for
   transportation. I HAVE DOCUMENTED PROOF stating those fees are not accurate.A
   few weeks prior to my surgery date I had to postpone for personal reasons .
   Accounting charged a $300 rescheduling fee plus $200 for hotel and
   transportation. I asked both ********* and ******** ( the company supervisor)
   how a $200 fee increased to almost $1000. Also, lab fees were only $100. Im
   assuming that is where the other portion of the $2000 refund MBC is also
   refusing to return. I sent numerous emails to *********, ******** ( company
   supervisor) AND the *** ****. All refused to return any of my emails after I
   repeatedly asked to discuss terms of my refund. I have now proceeded filing
   with small claims court for breach of contract. **FYI, those of you who read
   the cancellation policy will notice a refund of 35% will only be given even
   if you are deemed medically inappropriate for surgery. They updated that
   policy on 8/29/2022. Which was 3 weeks AFTER I filed my complaint. Another
   patient has the same complaint on their website."
 * Jennifer W. writes: "I asked if there was an opening for surgery 4th of July
   weekend. Yes was the answer but only one and that this would possibly be gone
   by the next phone call. So before I could read through the 13 page waiver she
   encouraged me to sign a one page form and put a 500.00 dollar hold to save
   the surgery date. I made the booking on June 11th and on June 13th I phoned
   as well as wrote that I wished to cancel the surgery date. Immediately I
   received a phone call from Brian form Sourcis telling me that they had
   already paid the money for the remainder of the loan for surgery and that I
   would be responsible for this money. because of the timing of my cancellation
   in relation to the surgery date I would not be reimbursed my 525.00. I booked
   and cancelled in a 36 hour period. This company offered no services,
   counseling except to book an appointment that would certainly be filled by
   another caller. I feel foolish and hoodwinked and wonder has this experience
   happened to others. Meanwhile we are out a large amount of money for zero
   services."

   price.... but I did not trust that i wouldnt wake up to a $2000 dollar bill
   for extra fee's (which i know has happened to some patients of Mexico
   Bariatric Centre) After all said and done they were to refund me my money I
   had paid - $500 deposit and as of now I have only received a 1/4 of the money

   and it has taken forever to hear back . The customer service along with the
   miscommunication is horrendous . I am still waiting for my refund but finally
   they process it and they keep part of my money though this cancellation was
   not even my fault. I literally think this is a scam, all they want is your
   money if you can’t get the surgery or change your mind they treat you like a
   minority. It’s a money scheme to get your money and if it doesn’t benefit
   them then they don’t help you or treat you how a customer should be treated."

   This of course is not to say anything of the fact that MBC is attempting to
   withhold 35% of the total $5000, a seemingly arbitrary number that is nowhere
   mentioned in their refund policy"


YOUR REVIEWS ARE DELETED

Since Mexico Bariatric Center deletes posted reviews and seems to work to hide
others, there may have been MANY more negative reviews that are now lost. When
someone complains, and the review is deleted, they don't always have the
strength to post the same review elsewhere. They may just give up. This even
happened in our case, due a fear of retaliation, and that is why the person who
submitted the application is not involved with this website. The company already
has sensitive information about you. Do you really want to complain? This
website is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Pam D. writes: "I relied on the good reviews that I found on their Facebook
page. So while I was in Mexico waiting for surgery , I had a little more time to
look at the MBC facebook page. I started to notice a bad review here and there
and then those reviews disappeared. Since I have been home I have noticed a lot
of bad reviews get taken down. Then you get banned from their Facebook page .
That is a big red flag. I am sure some people have a good experience . Buttttt
if you have any issues that is where the problems begin."

     before surgery
   * If the hospital has its own separate charges

HERE ARE SOME BARIATRIC / WEIGHT LOSS CENTERS IN MEXICO WE RECOMMEND

If you are on this site, you are probably interested in bariatric Surgery in
Mexico and not in the US. We also are not listing places where the price quote
was high (in our opinion). These are some Bariatric Centers we have researched,
and they made a good impression on us. While we have not used the services in
these locations, we will list them so you have a starting point for your own
search. We did use Mexicali Bariatric Center (unrelated to Mexico Bariatric
Center), so that recommendation is based on our experience.
We are not currently affiliated with any of these hospitals/surgical centers,
though we would consider affiliation in the future only if we had the
opportunity to fully investigate a location.

 * Mexicali Bariatric Center with Dr Rodolfo Wilhelmy. This is where we actually
   went for surgery - twice.
 * Obesity Control Center with Dr Ariel Ortiz.
 * Hospital BC with Dr Jalil Illan.
