Choosing a Dr. and living on East Coast US


Sign in to follow this  

Recommended Posts

This is a surgery I have researched and want to/need to have.

I have checked out some US Dr.'s I can not afford them because I do not have insurance.

The choice of Dr.'s in Mexico, getting a passport, flights from the East Coast expense and pre op diet is so overwhelming and scary.

Your success stories are encouraging.

How did you choose a Dr.? Some are all inclusive. Is this a good way?

Thanks for any conversation.

Hi,

I'm on the East Coast and I checked round trip flights from FL to San Diego at they are around $300. Not that bad really. The passport is really not that big of a deal just make sure you have a certified copy of your birth certificate. I have just been reading everything I can get my hands on. I booked Dr. Ramos Kelly in Tijuana and I feel very confident with him. I will be sleeved on the 10th of Feb. Add me as a friend and you can track my updates. Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
