Help Finding Loved One In Mexico Who Went For Gastric Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

Please help me find my family. Two family members went to have the vertical sleeve surgery with Dr. Ponce DeLeon. They arrived yesterday and we have not heard a single word from them or the patient cordinator. Who can we contact to find out what is going on??

Thank you both very much for your help! 28 hours after arrival in Mexico, their patient cordinator FINALLY called us back after numerous phone calls and emails to her. She stated she had phone issues. Really?? Does the hospital not have phones?? Or how about the hotel she was staying in?? UGH! This ordeal was very nerve racking!! So scared for my family members for awhile.

FYI~ I did some research on here before posting this issue and came across Trish's information and that she also worked with Dr. Ponce DeLeon. I did try to contact her at the number and it went to a message stating that the voicemail for this number has not been set up yet.

Trish was not my family's patient cordinator. I am also going to have the vertical sleeve surgery in a few months, and I will never again use our patient cordinator due to her lack of communication skills!

Hi,

I NEVER had any of these problems because I went to Dr. Aceves. I highly suggest you look into seeing Dr. Aceves. Nina is his patient coordinator and she ALWAYS has great communiction.

I am so sorry you had this kind of stress. That is unthinkable!

Hugs,

Suzanne

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
