Hello...I'm a newbie here. I have decided to go with the gastric sleeve as a weight loss solution. It seems to have Enlightened the lifes of many peaople. Howerver, there's a two-three years wainting list for the procedure here in Quebec, Canada.

I am considering the Mexico option. Has anyone of you ever had the experience (bad or good)? Following witch criteria did you choose your surgeon?

My surgery isn't until next week, so I can't offer personal experiences. But, we do have a good Mexico Sleeve forum here http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/486-self-pay-mexico-gastric-sleeve-surgery/

You might take a look at the posts there - they might help with some of your questions.

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.
