I live in Alberta and to dodge all the wait time and insurance hangups I'm going to Mexico, it's a fraction of the cost and I've also known people that have gone there and had a really good experience dde04

check out the obesity Contol clinic. He was featured on Oprah and has done 16,000 surgeries. He staples. 3 times and an extra thread so no leakages .

I'm also from Alberta and I'm going to Mexico as well. My surgery is Dec 14 2013 with Dr Aceves. Dr Ortiz has very good reviews. I'm glad your not going through weight loss forever from Saskatoon. They are such a rip off it's unbelievable.

      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.
