Calling all Mexico pts from Manitoba



Recommended Posts

I'm calling on all Manitoba nurses, and/or other proffesionals! I had my lap band done in Mexico. I have to go to Saskatchewan to get my fills. We need someone here in the province who is willing to do fills and get trained for patients done outside of this country. There is a great need here in this province. If you want to make extra money, and help others, you would be a great asset. We do have the lap band procedure here in Manitoba, but no one here will look after a patient done in Mexico. I'm sure it has to do with ego and maybe a little greed. My procedure was less than half the price they charge in Canada, and my care was wonderful. I have nothing but good things to say about my surgery in Mexico. Yet, I have to leave the province to have care?! If I'm willing to pay $5,000.00 I can have fills done in Toronto! I'm not willing to do that. obesity, and compulsive eating is a disease. I hope we can find someone here in Manitoba to step up to the plate. It's a real shame that we don't have affordable after care!

      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.
