So, my husband's aunt and cousin and I are heading to Mexico in 8 Weeks for surgery. I have a love/hate relationship with my mil, and she has a big flapping mouth. None of the three of us want dh's mother to know why we are going on "vacation", so I strictly told my hubby that he is NOT to tell his mother anything other than we are going on a girls retreat to celebrate the cousins upcoming wedding. Lol, well, my hubby didn't care for me telling him not to tell his mom. He became defensive of her! I quickly told him is is not his mothers business to know our private business. I'm worried that my dh will spill the beans and upset his aunt and cousin. Help!

Confused About How To Choose A Qualified Surgeon? Check This Out!
cissiesue posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Having surgery in a foreign country is a tough decision to make. Knowing what surgeon to chose, was even harder. After combing these forums and the internet, something kept drawing my eye to a particulara surgeon, the letters FACS behind his name. members of the American College of Surgeons are referred to as "Fellows." the letters FACS mean that the surgeon's education and and training, professional qualifications, surgical competence, and ethical conduct have passed a rigorous evaluation, and have been found to be consistent with a high standards of the College. Out of 78,000 members, only 4000 are in other countries that is the United States. Doctor Ramos Kelly, is this tijuana surgeon. it speaks volumes to his character and professionalism that he would undergo such riggers to be a fellow in this college. -

She can reach him at wls-clinic@yahoo.com. There is a lot of gossip and innuendo, but what it basically boils down to, is she needed a change. -

Tijuana is no different than any big city in the USA. As long as you dont venture off into the unknown, you'll be just fine. The hospitals are in the best part of tj, and the hotels are usually gated and have guards. Medical tourism is what keeps these hotels and hospitals and Dr's in business, our safety is their upmost concern.

My Pcp Is Not Supportive At All & Made Me Worried Now!
cissiesue replied to NJsharon's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Dr's like that are closed minded and ignorant. My pcp did his schooling in Mexico, and he is a wonderful internist. All that she would have to do is run labs and, and monitor your diet. A nurse practitioner could handle that. Be glad to be rid if her, and I wish you luck with your new pcp -

cissiesue replied to cissiesue's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Dr Aceves is a fellow in the acs. In no way was I implying that the other drs werent good per sey, just that this is just another feather in Dr Kellys cap. And no, its not a sole purpose to make your decision on, but it does offer some comfort in a maze of drs, and most people have no idea what those letters mean.My question is, if they could, and they aren't, then why? They cater to a huge American clientele, why wouldn't they want to put their credentials to the test? I was asked to post about this, so I did. You made a choice that was in your best interest, so did I -

I think its just a few hundred dollars. In my opinion, its worth that to have a more experienced surgeon. Im not daying Dr G isnt good, just that Dr Kelly has more impressive credentials, more experience
