Do they have a number for you to call? Maybe they are busy.. I'll say give it maybe a couple of more days depending on how you long you have waited so far. Make sure you read reviews on every doctor or center.

I had VSG surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center 6 years ago. Specifically recommended by several US bariatric surgeons. No middle man.....you deal directly with Dr. Ortiz and his staff. Easy, pain free recovery, no complications, great postop communication and holding steady 160 pounds down.

I went through ALM in Tijuana last month.

I made a long post detailing my interactions with them and my experience before, during and after surgery in the Self Pay in Mexico forum on this site.

It's obviously specific to my own experience, but I recommend checking it out for an idea of how things may differ from any previous experience you've had in the USA.

I can't sing their praises loudly enough - I was treated well, I was impressed with the accommodations provided, impressed by the staff at the hospital and I'm thrilled with my results so far.

I am in Tijuana tonight waiting to have sleeve in the morning. Dr Sergio Verboone is doing. Great so far

Had my sleeve surgery yesterday at 5:00pm Mexico time. At first I thought I had made a mistake because the pain was so bad. Today it is not as bad, still have drain in and it will be removed tomorrow. I have a 6 hour flight home tomorrow after fluor test. I have had nothing by mouth since 9:30 Thursday night. I will get ice chips today and I am looking forward to that. Gas-x strip have helped with gas pain. I have been walking off and on since 4 hours after surgery.

That's my doc and I had a similar issue but was persistent in calling. When is your surgery date? Mine is March 21

      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?
