GASTRIC SLEEVE- MEXICO (HELP)- INSURANCE? DOCTOR?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am traveling to Tijuana, MExico for my surgery. I am super worried. I am looking into getting Medical Tourism insurance to cover any complications once I get back. As of right now I am scheduled with Dr. Maytorena.... Does anyone have advice? Reviews? Please help. I read horror stories of complocations and I cannot find much on DR.Maytorena except the reviews on real self.

I am traveling to Reynosa for surgery on May 3rd with Dr. Cantu. I am not so worried because I did the same trip last September for the Orbera balloon which did not work for me. I had no positive result at all from that procedure but the Dr. and his staff were amazing. The Dr. and his team brought me to and from the airport and back and forth from the hospital to the hotel. I do not speak Spanish but all of Dr. Cantu’s staff and many at the hospital spoke English. I thought the border was a bit sketchy but that is just my nerves. I felt well cared for with Dr. Cantu and his team. The supplies and tools used were very basic and not as modern as what you would commonly see here. However, everything was clean and I was not concerned In their care.

I had surgery with Dr Maytorena May 29,2017 and was very pleased! He and his staff were all very caring and professional. In fact I chose him because he works out of a hospital instead of a clinic. Down 169 pounds in 2 years, no complications whatsoever!

      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?
