GASTRIC SLEEVE- MEXICO (HELP)- INSURANCE? DOCTOR?
Newbiexoxo posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, I am traveling to Tijuana, MExico for my surgery. I am super worried. I am looking into getting medical tourism insurance to cover any complications once I get back. As of right now I am scheduled with Dr. Maytorena.... Does anyone have advice? Reviews? Please help. I read horror stories of complocations and I cannot find much on DR.Maytorena except the reviews on real self. -

Newbiexoxo posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi Guys! Can any of you share your experience from getting sleeved at a lower weight? My Surgery is May4th and I am nervous and am wondering if I will even lose. Can someone please tell me their experience? How were their losses? How long did it take to lose? Where are you now? -

Hi guys!!! Any of you here that used tricare prime for gastric surgery???? I am wanting the sleeve. I told my doctor I wanted a referral to see a surgeon. She said she is putting one in for me. I see the status says "pending" can someone tell me their experience? Is this an authorization JUST TO SEE him? and then I meet with the surgeon and THEY send in approval for surgery???? What comes first? Approval for surgery or surgeons requirements?? I am soooo confused because my PCM did not say much. I am seen off base but I am still prime. My clinic was full. Also, how long did it take from the original consult to surgery date for you guys?
