Molly3 495 Posted March 29, 2013 I have TriWest & it looks like their not going to be covering the sleeve anytime soon. So now I'm thinking Mexico. My husband thinks I'm nuts but, I'm totally serious. So far I've researched Dr. Guillermo Alvarez. Any recommendations would be great. Thank you so much!

Molly3 495 Posted March 30, 2013 Thank you everyone! Can I ask...Were you guys nervous about the slightest complication? Also, will your insurance company cover any expenses due to complications that may occur when you're home? My primary insurance doesn't cover anything Bariatric & my secondary doesn't cover the sleeve. Thank you so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

julielle 199 Posted March 31, 2013 I used Dr jaime Ponce de leon (through his coordinator Trish) and it was a great experience, Trish was fantastic and the care at the hospital was top notch. I have zero regrets! 1 Molly3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
