Hi Nurse Ison....I'm having sleeve surgery in Tijuana on Thursday. I'm having it with Dr. Curiel at Clinica San Juan.

I went through Medical Tourism LLC for the price of $3950. I'll let you know how it goes! I'm nervous, but at the point of no return!

????????

What dr are you using. My sister is using Dr. Lopez who I believe uses them and his own company Specialized Bariatrics. We did a lot of research before we decided on a dr. When she initially was going thru MBC she found that they were rude and seemed to be more about the money. Dr Lopez and his team had a lot of rave reviews. She likes SB and they are very thorough. Let me know if I can be of further help. Good luck!

I did a lot of research on lots of docs. I'm an R.N. a most important aspect is the experience of the surgeon. Also, I wanted to be in a center or hospital that is JCI accredited. That means that that center achieved high standards of care. I am being evaluated by OCC and Dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC. For a sleeve. Dr Corvala at Angeles hospital is very good as well. Good luck

      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?
