Dr when you get back from Mexico?



Recommended Posts

Ok, who does the follow up when I get back to Cali? And what is the Dr doing? And what type of Dr should the appointment be with? Do I need to tell my General Practice Dr that I had this done??

I went to my PCP and had her look at my incisons and she also ordered lab work.

I have had no reason to go to a doctor postop. (At least not surgery related). Both my PCP and OB/Gyn have offered to do any bloodwork I need done. My surgeon in Mexico sent me a list of the blood tests he recommends to check at 3 months, 6 months and annually.

Hi there, nice to see someone from around my area on here (Desert Hot Springs). You should def let you're pcp know about surgery so he can run blood work when it comes time. Ask you surgeon when he recommends it be done. Who will sleeve you? I chose Dr. Aceves exactly 10 months ago and have lost tremendously. Any way I can help feel free to ask.

      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?
