How do you get a doctors note to be out of work from a doctor in Mexico? Has anyone received a doctors note from Dr. Garcia before leaving for the trip?

A drs note should be included in your discharge packet. If not just ask and there shouldn't be a problem. MX surgeons are very competent, professional and experienced at what they do.

They dr will fill out FMLA paperwork, disability insurance and also a note to go back to work. I went to Dr A Ortiz. His return to work note had a BIG picture on the top of the form with Obesity Control Center on it. I asked them to remove it, and they did. Then the only thing that said Obesity Control Center was fine print on the bottom of the paperwork.

You might want to see how your note looks before you leave.

I emailed my coordinator and sent her what I wanted the note to say. She then emailed me the note on his letterhead with a signature. Dr. Garcia is my surgeon as well.

      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.
