important question help



Recommended Posts

i currently drive ~5 hrs for adjustments ( im on #2 ) one way and since i hate to travel alone i drag my poor friend along and we drive 10 hrs in one day for a fill. i love the doc and his staff but now there is a new surgeon who is 30 minutes away who has agreed to accept me. my question is what if i go to him and he's not good or something happens? i am afraid that my old doc won't take me back, and as u know it is difficult to find a doc to accept u after having surgery in mexico.i'm really torn. the doc close to home is new to this area and has done bands and adjustments before but we don't have a lot of docs in this area who stick around long, and if he leaves or something im afraid there will be noone who will accept me. help? keep in mind i'm self pay... thanks jackye

Ask your primary surgeon if he would accept you after treatment by the closer surgeon. Most medical professionals are rational. If he will not, then surely there's another surgeon in between who would...?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
