Recommended Posts

HI ALL.....I MIGHT HAVE TO TRAVEL ALONE AS A SELF PAY TO Mexico FOR MY SURGERY. I'M LOOKING TO HAVE SURGERY 1ST CHOICE MAY 22-24. AND THEN ANYTIME IN JUNE. MY CHOICE FOR DRS' ARE 1ST-ORTIZ, JOSE RODRIGUIZ AND THEN Ramos Kelly. IF THERE IS ANYONE LOOKING TO HAVE SURGERY IN MEXICO WITH ANY OF THOSE DOCTORS THAT WOULD LIKE TO MEET UP WITH ME AS A TAG ALONG, BECAUSE I REALLY WOULD NOT WANT TO GO BY MYSELF. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!:thumbup::sad: I SPOKEN WITH ALL OF THESE DOCTOR'S COORDINATORS AND ORTIZ IS THE ONLY ONE THAT I WOULD BE WILLING TO TRAVEL TO BY MYSELF AND FEEL SECURE. THERE IS ALSO NOTHING WRONG WITH DOCTOR RODRIGUIZ EITHER, IT'S JUST THAT ONE OF THE PLANES THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE TO EL PASO IS A SMALLER ONE AND I'M SCARED OF THOSE BY SELF!!:thumbup: I'M IN FLORIDA!!

THANKS...LENA23

You may want to change the title of your thread to more closely reflect your question.... that may help get the response you seek.

"Going FL to MX (Ortiz)...anyone else?" Something like that?

Good luck to you. I will also be traveling to Mexico (more than likely alone) to have my surgery with Dr. Ortiz. My scheduled date is May 27, 2008. There is a chance that one of my girlfriends are going with me however there is not a guarantee therefore I anticipate going alone. Am I scared, a little, but a part of me is very excited because I am getting out of my comfort zone and doing "big" girl things. Anyway, I hope all goes well for you. 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.
