I was just reading this news story from last year, 2015... So scary. I hope those that go out of country or go anywhere for that matter, have a loved one with them during this procedure.

Mexico

Dr. Almanza... there's your answer. That guy is a hack and I would say 90% of the stories about injuries/death/complications from patients who go to TJ for WLS come from HIS patients. Why anyone still uses him is a complete mystery to me. I have seen dozens, if not hundreds of accounts of how terrible he is. Yet some people apparently still do ZERO research and end up going to him. It is mind boggling. There are so many reputable and trusted surgeons in TJ that are reasonably priced, so I have no idea why anyone would resort to going to him. As far as I know, he's not even the cheapest!

No reason to ever be scared if you have Bariatric Pal as your team. They will never leave you alone. I could not have made a better cboice for who to trust my surgery to.

I had a wonderful experience in Mexico as well but I researched the crap out of everything!

      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?
