Drama. Drama. Who's Got The Drama?

I had heard that some coordinators were doing that to Dr Kelly but I hadn't heard about others. I don't think it's the surgeon's fault' date=' but of course you don't want to support or give money to a coordinator that uses such business tactics. I think whichever surgeon you choose will be fine ultimately, but I do understand where you're coming from. I was quite happy with Trish (for Dr Ponce) if that helps.[/quote']

Exactly the way I'm feeling. Such tactics can give excellent surgeons a negative image. A disservice more than anything... Also it muddy's the waters and scares off the "fence sitters".

Amen sisters. I'm glad to come across this post because I was having doubts and "doctor envy".

Listen!!! Dr. Ponce is a wonderful Dr. and is Chief of bariatric surgery in TJ Mexico, most likely taught all of the above Dr's mentioned above, since he has been doing WLS since 1995...go with your heart and go with Dr. Ponce!!! I just had my surgery Oct 22, and would do it again in a heart beat!! I know of 4 medical professionals including me who went to him and have absolutely no regrets, and no complications!!

I think from now on, if someone comes on the board here with negative comments OTHER than what they PERSONALLY experienced, we should NOT comment to fuel the fire

Maybe they will just go away, lol!!

Just so you know, my thread heading was not an invitation for drama but a facetious vent about drama.

I agree! We've got enuff on our plates without adding that drama crap and fueling it.

How are you doing since surgery?

I'm doing great since surgery Retakk, it's been an easy recovery for me. Going crazy on Clear Liquids and wish I could chew something, but I don't feel any hunger.

I keep thinking that I'm gonna die on the table in Mexico... When I had my csection, my Doctor told me to be sure and tell any other Doctor if I'm having a surgery that I'm a heavy bleeder... So now I think that I'm gonna die by internal bleeding or something. I'm freaking out lol

I totally understand your fears. Make sure you let them know you bleed heavily...

Just another thread stating Dr Garcia has had several fatalities per coordinators, I think? I chose Dr. Lopez, but I am not okay with all this drama. It is discouraging. Who knows what is fact and what are lies to redirect business?

I am also booked with Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna. On another thread here though, I read that a patient got to TJ for her surgery and they had replaced Dr. Osuna with Dr. Garcia without notifying her before she got there! Just ask lots of questions to be prepared for whoever you do chose
