Hello all. I was curious. Where do you go for after care when u have surgery in Mexico.

I went to my primary care physician. I told him about what I had planned to do.

The doctors at Obesity Control Center where I had my surgery have always been available after surgery to answer questions via phone and email. As for postop bloodwork, I just asked my PCP to write orders for the lab. My OB/Gyn also volunteered to do it for me. I developed a non-surgery related C. diff infection 2 months post op (although the surgery complicated things because I couldn't drink enough to keep up with the diarrhea) and my PCP and a gastroenterologist dealt with that.

So u just hope u don't have any complications and have your primary check u for the same things your surgeon would check u for at the same time intervals.

Pretty much.... But if I had complications, OCC doctors would have consulted with my PCP and he would have referred me to the appropriate specialist. For me, the nearest bariatric surgeon is 4 hours away, so my PCP and local ER would be dealing with anything critical anyways, even if I had stayed in the states for surgery.
