Other things done while VGS in Mexico



Recommended Posts

I am thinking of having my teeth whitened while in Mexico for my VGS. Did anyone else that had VGS done in Mexico have any other procedures or look into others?

I'm going to do a chemical peel. I'm a band to sleeve conversion and they keep you a few days longer to check for complications. That being said, I know I'll be bored after the first few days. So, chemical peel. Also, since I'm taking the time off to recover from VSG it's good timing to recover from this as well.

My coordinator is also the coordinator for a cosmetic surgeon, but I wasn't financially prepared for that so she took us to get Botox... Love it!

I would really like to have some dental work performed. I never inquired about it though. Has anyone has bridges or veneers done?

I was going to do whitening but it's actually much cheaper locally. How?

Being in Texas and my dads family is only 90 miles from the border they go across a LOT. In fact all of their dental work was done in MX. One uncle had implants put in- $1000. Which is about 1/5 of what it is here.

My mother is going with me next week and she will have dental work done but my coordinator at Dr. Ortiz office said that there's a dentist about 10 min away that will do her work.

      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?
