Has anyone experienced a leak in Mexico besides me? I am just curious.

Hi, how are you feeling now? Wanted to ask you if you filled out the FMLA forms for the dr to sign and or if the dr filled out the portion for your surgery? Did you put done WLS or something else? I really dont want to state exactly what I am having to my employer but not sure what to write or if the doctor knows. Also did your employer ask why you were having surgery in Mexico instead of the states? I am thinking of saying because even though I have insurance it would still costs me more for my copay then in Mexico. What do you think? or what did you say? Thank you so much. Tell me how you are doing now and are you back to work?

I did not experience a leak after my MGB surgery in Mexico. I was operated on by a highly skilled bariatric surgeon who is a member of the ASMBS.
