Yes it is challenging researching the surgeons. I have been gradually decreasing my original list of surgeons.
Dr. Garcia is on my list as are a handful of other surgeons.
i have also been looking into the hospitals and so called clinics.
Thanks for your advice.
I was doing so much research I thought my brain would explode. Go to all the forums. Communicate with people about their experiences. I narrowed down my list to 4 or 5, wrote down what I wanted/expected in the Dr. & the facility. Then I gave the list to a friend who is a nurse & asked her to do a little research & give me her opinion. She thought Dr. Garcia was the best choice, & that was my first choice also. That made the decision for me.
The company you are going thru should be able to answer any & all questions. I used Ready4achange.
I had Lapband to sleeve revision with Dr. Ferando Garcia on 4/3....excellent experience, no problems. Went thru Readyforachange & it cost
$4750.00
I had revision surgery with Dr. Garcia on 4/3 thru Ready4achange. I had an excellent experience. I never needed a pain pill, except for what I got in the IV. The staff were very attentive, & there was always a Dr. or 2 there all day. I did not need 1/2 of what I brought, but I didn't think to bring a light jacket. I was going from southern FL to MX, who knew it would be cool? . My husband went with me, & he also was impressed with the care. I never used the heating pad or the travel pillow [ to cover incisions on the plane]. I gave my GasX to someone *****ally needed it. My PC asked me to stay 2 extra days just to make sure everything was working, but I felt so good that I left on the original schedule. I was afraid of being constipated, so I had a wonderful glass of chocolate milk in the hotel...That did the trick, as I never drink milk. I didn't bother me to go to the the hotel restaurant on the last night, & only have broth, try the beef broth, while hubby ate. I wasn't the only one with just a bowl of broth. I work in a Hospital, so I know good care, I & got excellent care. Feel free to ask anything....Kathy
Anyone have their gastric sleeve done by Dr Mario Almanza. How was your experience with his care group
The remaining portion how did you pay it and when did they require you to pay it
Thanks. I will check the Dr out.
Hi,
Alsolooking for a Mexico surgeon for the summer. There are so many surgeons, hospitals, clinics, etc... Many medical tourism companies are running specials. Not an easy task to choose a surgeon
I did not use the same doctor. With that said, I may have spent $15 total on my trip. I tipped the driver a few dollars each way. Then I bought a couple bottles of water or G2 when we stopped mid way on the drive. Other than that I had no need of any money.
Good luck! July will be here before you know it.
