Had surgery elsewhere, need reasonably priced follow-up here

[tripi 0]

(Put in both NYC and spelled it out for searching purposes.)

I am scheduled for surgery December 29 in Juarez, Mexico with Dr. Jose Rodriguez. Provided my kidneys aren't taken and sold....

Who's out there from NYC? Have any of you had your surgery elsewhere and then had aftercare in NYC? Who did you use? Are there any doctors that offer a package for aftercare, or do you have to pay for each follow up visit / procedure / fill separately? I don't understand why I'm having trouble finding a package deal, when surgery is done like that and it'd give docs such a huge profit margin. I'd love to find a doc who uses the model I'm talking about.

And I'd also just try to connect with some other NYers who have either gotten the band or are about to get the band.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer, and good luck to on your journey.
