Aftercare?

Hi! I have a date scheduled with Dr. Aguirre for October 14th! YEAH! Problem, aftercare? How do you handle this? My PCP sez he doesn't have surgical training so doesn't want to remove staples, tubes, etc. I have a call into a surgeon referred by PCP, but the nurse thought that I would need to see a surgeon who does WLS to obtain this. HELP! I am confused. What have others done in this instance? Can someone please shed some light on this? I know that aftercare is critical to the success of this procedure, but I am self paying for the surgery.

I would call all the bariactic centers in your area and see if they have any drs that can do your post op care. Some docs have there own side practice, this would be ideal and cheaper. You might be surprise to find that bariatic surgons will gladly help even though you had your surgery in mexico , if not just for the $$. cecile
