California Sleevers.....

[Dea 17]

Hi Solo,

Dr. Dutta was my doctor, and he was wonderful. I really liked the doctor who did the orientation too, he was so outgoing, Dr. Dutta is more quiet, but really nice. He's always been quick to answer my questions. (I email him with them). The nicest thing is that I totally lost my composure in the operating room and started crying and he was so kind.

Also check out his background, ivy leauge schools and all that. I don't regret him at all!

Perhaps we'll cross in the office some day.

Would really like to hear back from anybody who has found a doctor in So Ca who is willing to work with patients who had the surgery in Mexico? I went to my GP yesterday and she was dead set against any wls. I didn't even tell her I was planning to go to Mexico.

What is everybody doing with regards to this? Dr. Kelly told me he'd consider me local and I could do follow ups there but haven't outlined any details yet because this is so new and I'm scheduled a few months from now. Would really like to hear from others on this...

There are whole forums for this info. Range is about $5500 to $10K depending on the doctor. It seems like most people are having really good experiences! That's the only reason I'm considering it.

Sacramento here, I went to Dr Alli at UC Davis Med center. They do follow ups to keep records, and address my skills to support success (Nut visits, psych visit at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months one year two year), but my regular GP could to this too... she does blood tests for me and is generally supportive. I think the blood tests are the most important. If you have an emergency, theres always the emergency room. Does your med plan have an advice nurse you can call with questions?
