Topic: RE: Problems with follow up care?

I have not had an issue with followup care.  My surgeon, Dr. Jorge Maytorena, with LongTerm VSG provided me a dvd of my surgery.  I let my primary care doc see it and all things are good.

There are a lot of people who have used them.  If you want to message me I can send you an invite to a group I am in on Facebook.....all LongTerm VSG people getting sleeved or have been sleeved with LongTerm.  You can also check out their facebook page.....https://www.facebook.com/longtermvsg?fref=ts.  There are many people on there.

Topic: Problems with follow up care?

Hello all, my surgery is scheduled next Tuesday with Dr Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics. I was just wondering if any of you have had issues with your PCP not wanting to see you due to going out of state for the surgery? OR if you've had complications and have been refused treatment due to having the surgery out of the state's? One of my cousins who is a Dr in Florida said she had a patient who was refused by almost every Bariatric Dr she sought out when she experienced complications. Have you guys experienced this? Now I'm worried.

I did talk to Ruben, and he was really informative, but that still makes me nervous. I understand that paypal charges fees as well, but wiring money is always concerning especially when so little information is available when googling this agency. I want to make a change in my life, but I have to be entirely sure it is safe, secure. Do you know anyone else that has had the procedure done?

How did the wire transfer work?

I went with Dr Maytorena and LongTerm VSG.  they're great and do the Sleeve for $2999.  I've had great results.....down 46.8lbs since March 18.

They do the wire transfer because paypal charges fees and for the price they charge, they have to watch expenses I'm sure.  

Take a moment to talk to Ruben.  He'll ease your fears.  They're great and sincere.

Topic: RE: Doctor to choose in Tijuana ?

Any luck finding the right doctor for DS? Dr. Francisco Zavalza does it, I know for sure (he did my sleeve, but he does bypass, mini-bypass and DS too). But when I was making my research last year and talked to him about it, he said that it is a pretty rare procedure, you really have to qualify for it. It is recommended for very obese patients with serious co-morbidity... Have a consultation with several doctors (usually its free) before making a final decision.
