I had the sleeve in Mexico and want a local doc to go to now for follow ups.  Can anyone recommend a Portland area doc who will accept surgeries done in Mexico?

Thank you.

I know that Dr. Deveney at OHSU has helped those who have had WLS in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries. He is fluent in Spanish and s/b able to communicate with the Mexican surgeons very easily. Hope this helps!

Or - if you'd like - find a PCP who is willing to learn.  Sometimes they're a bazillion times better to work with than a surgeon who has preconceived ideas about out of country surgery!
