chyna86 17 Posted February 21, 2012 I have just inquired about a doctors note which will probably be requested by my employer upon my return. I was a little alarmed to learn that the doctors note will come from the coordinator and not the actual doctor or doctor's office. Does this mean its not official?? I wouldnt want to give it to my employer if it wasnt. To prior Mexico sleevers did anyone have a problem with their Dr. note? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinoneday 445 Posted February 21, 2012 I didn't go to mexico for my surgery, but my note was done on official letterhead from the bariatric clinic rubber stamped with the doctors name. It's both official and legal. . hope this helps a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenni_867 14 Posted February 21, 2012 Who are you going to? I recieved one from dr. Kelly, but didnt use it to show my employer. I went to my regular family doctor after returning home, showed him the xrays, etc and he signed me off work for over a month. My doctor never stated what surgery I had, just that i was not medically cleared to be working. Just keep all the documents, etc you get from your surgeon and have your regular doctor look them over and he/she can probably provide you with a medical note.

mesaucedo 207 Posted February 21, 2012 I have told my employer I am going to Mexico, so I let them know the note was going to be scanned and emailed. The coordinator's have a copy of the Dr.'s letterhead and fill in the blanks like your name and how much time off. My employer was fine with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
