Requirements to qualify for gastric sleave
Arizonia replied to Luciem's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you I appreciate I, but I changed Doctors and he told me they want to keep throwing me on different medication and see if that works first, but I already paid to go to Mexico this is for me and if they don't understand that then life goes on. -

Neither the doctor here don’t care one way or another. I have high blood pressure, asthma, I sleep 3 hours a night I’m always tossing and turning and I told my primary that but because I get mercy care he don’t care. So in order for me to get the surgery I got to go to Mexico and pay out of pocket, it’s so overwhelming and depressing all in one -

I stay in Arizona and they don’t qualify me. I have asthma, my bp has been 210/270 for a year they keep putting on medication that don’t work so I stop seeing my primary -
Have anyone went to Mexico for surgery?
-
I did. I went to Mexico Bariatric Center. I had RNY on 12/29/20. My doctor was Dr. Valenzuela -- I picked her because she has a great reputation, great outcomes, is female, and had the gastric sleeve herself a few years ago, so she definitely understands the patient's perspective. I paid about $5,500. I've had nearly no pain, no complications, and have been very happy with my surgery and recovery.
