Who was your surgeon and how much did you pay? I found someone in Mexico for $4400. I'm giving OHIP three months if I don't hear anything then I'm in my way to Mexico .

I am in Windsor Ontario and went to Dr Fernando Garcia in Tijuana Mexico. He is an amazingly skilled surgeon and would do it again in a heartbeat; it really is the way to go. I don't know anyone who could wait a year and a half.

      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.
