Any fellow CF members out there that had WLS? I'm full of questions in regards to the process
Morning all ,
I'm a 16 year Canadian Forces member who has chosen to go ahead with WLS, after multipible deployments in Afghan, Dubai UAE and Haiti I'm finally in a static posting and am ready to make this change in my life. I'm wondering if any pre or post op Mil mbrs can share there experence and there timeframe.
I'm seriously considering self pay.
Any help would be great
Cheers

I am not in the military, but I am also Canadian and self-paid. I went to Dr Aceves and have only good things to say about my experience with him and in his care. Being at Hospital Almater was a great experience for me. In the military, are you able to take sick leave or personal leave or even medical leave? I took one week off work, BUT, I am a teacher and do not have a physically demanding job. Dr Aceves could answer your specific questions, but as a guideline, in my information package, it said to walk but no other type of exercise for 6 weeks. If you have specific questions that I could help you with, feel free to PM me. I see you wrote this a while ago, I wonder if you have any answers? Good luck!
I work with US forces, and have worked with CF in the past...here's my experience:

I had a sleeve done with Dr. Ponce on July 10, 2012 with Trish as my coordinator. She is amazing, she goes above and beyond. With no doubts, I would go with Dr. Ponce. What I didn't know is he is a teacher of the WLS procedures and the hospital and staff are awesome.mine hotel is charming, and Trish took me site seeing two days, which she didn't have to do. Here's her contact info...tell her Senada sent you so she knows you are serious. I am referring all of my friends to her and I felt 100 percent safe in Tijuana...I mention this as safety was a concern of mine. They pick you up and drop you off at the San Diego airport. The sleeve cost me $5,500 plus 3% ($5,660 or so) because I used my Visa to pay. This includes two nights in the hotel, but airfare is extra and you arrange that on your own.
Good luck!!!
