DECEMBER SLEEVERS WITH DR. FERNANDO GARCIA
smb0187 replied to MISSORLANDOPLUSAMERICA2011's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I'm going to see him exactly a month before you. I'm getting sleeved nov 6. I will post my experience after. -
No I'm not sure of a specific surgeon. I think I've seen a couple of them talked about in here with good reviews though.

For a PCP I personally wouldn't even tell them that you had the surgery in MX. I would just go in 3 months after the proceedure and ask for the standard blood work up just make sure everything looks good. I was able to get ahold of pudget sound bariatric center and they said they would see me. I just need to call them when I get back and bring all of the information I recieve from the surgeon down there (leak test etc).

My plan is to tell people I'm doing a diet like the slim fast diet. 2 protein shakes and a lean dinner. -

smb0187 replied to Ingrid007's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I'm sure I will get flack for this. But when my husband told the weight loss clinic here (he goes and speaks at the seminars) that I was going to Mexico. The lady said I hope it's not with Dr. Ortiz. He didn't ask why she said that. But it made me worry that maybe someone went to them after complications from him. I am going to Dr. Garcia Nov 8 -
Thank you for responding! I'll check with them on Monday. My husband emailed north west weight loss today but we are waiting on a reply.

Dr. Fernando Garcia -- Sept. 19 Sleevers!
smb0187 replied to Victoria A Fillmore's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Good luck tomorrow!!! -
Getting the sleeve is so scary and exciting all at the same time. I understand how it could make you feel depressed. I hope that since it's been a few days that things have had a chance to sink in and you are feeling better about it. I am in WA as well!
