I am currently in the planning stages of getting my sleeve. I am hoping to get it done by Dr. Kelly early spring. Has anyone here also combined the trip with other procedures?

I am thinking about getting some brown sun spots lasered off my face and getting my teeth whitened while in Mexico (so much cheaper then the states!). Thoughts?

Mrsteacher, I have thought about your scenerio too. But not even sure how that would work honestly. I am scheduled for my gastric sleeve with Dr. Fernando Garcia in TJ on Oct 4th, 2012 (yes..it is that far out...sigh). I also suffer from hyperhidrosis and wanted to see if any doctors in TJ could help me with that problem but I don't even know where and how to begin researching. Will let you know if I find any info but I'm sure it is possible to do other things while there. 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.

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