Mi Doctor – call hospital before surgery



Recommended Posts

Did anyone having or had surgery at Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana call the hospital before to be sure you are on their schedule for surgery? Or did you just trust and everything worked out?

My surgery is coming up quickly and just wondered if I should call ahead?

I didn't call ... Everything was fine. I actually went into surgery first because I was having anxiety about the surgery.

I had surgery there last month. I did not call before, just trusted that everything would be OK and it was. But, looking back, I'm surprised was as calm and trusting as I was-- not typical for my personality :-)

I had surgery on April 15th, 2014 my Dr. was Louisiana Valenzuela, MD. I had an amazing experience. The staff was wonderful and they knew what they were doing. I went through this group http://www.mexicobariatriccenter.com/

I paid a little more but my care was the best I have ever had. You should have a contact person on this side of the boarder that I could talk to, so I didn't feel like I needed to call the hospital.

Good luck to you and I hope your experience is a wonderful as mine was.

      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?
