Hello All! My name is Morris and I am going to schedule my surgery (Sleeve) Monday. I have a few concerns that are really bothering me about the process. I am going to go to Mexico and have my procedure done through Be light weight, Dr. Rodriguez. What happens if I come home and have trouble? Will my regular Doctor see me? I know I should check and I plan on making an appointment with my Doctor prior, but has anyone had a problem with their PCP seeing them after the surgery? Let me know!! Thanks

Welcome! I'm having surgery with Dr. Rodriguez on July 21st, and my regular PCP will see me with no issues. If anything "major" arises though, I'll be straight to the ER..

So..with that said, lets plan for a totally uneventful surgery and recovery!

Good luck on your journey!

Hey Morris! Welcome to the forums, we are glad to have you here!

Your PCP should be willing to see when you return. And, as Dana said, if you should have an emergency, head straight to the ER. But, I am sure everything will go just fine for you.

One more thing, I have heard people say that after time, they turn to just excess skin. Anyone had the problem? I can see if you are not active (gym). Let me know!!

Honestly, I have always heard that there are a lot of factors that contribute to that. Such as your age, if you are younger, you tend to have less of a problem with that. How long you have been overweight and how many times you have gained and lost. And, of course, how much exercise you do. I believe strongly that without exercise, you will have excess, flabby skin.
