I must have misread their information when I went on that site because for some reason I thought they were outside of the NYC area and that they didn't take my insurance. 

I probably have them mixed up with someone else.  I had no idea they were right here.  Thanks for telling me!

Well…that’s probably not accurate. BF is not quite old enough to NEED a facelift. She got an EXTREME MAKEOVER!!!

 

With that extreme makeover some things are a’changing on the blog and how you can interact with it.

Anyone have a recomendation?  

I don't drive, so I need both the Doctor and hospital to be in either Hoboken NJ, Jersey City NJ or NYC.   I have Oxford (Liberty) insurance.

I've googled and googled and 99% of what I come up with are sites that have the keywords but no actual answers.  

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

 Hello Dawn:
Thank you for answering my MGB question. Now one more question to you please.
I have alot of scar tissue on my abdomen, six operations later. Do you know if any Ontario Barriatric surgeons do Duodenal Switch surgery's? And where can I find out this information
source from?  Thank you for your time. Bye for now Rhonda P.

 I just had my surgery with Dr. Carlos Quesada, in Costa Rica.  He is a super nice man and a perfectionist in his surgerys. I found him on line at the Healthy Escapes Website  He made every effort to make sure i was comfortable with the procedure and why he chose to do the Mini Bypass for me,, over the Lap band that i had originally wanted..  I have asthma and he was also very concerned that i see a lung specialist befor my surgery, to make sure i was at the tip top of my current health. Befor he did any surgerys.. 
I found the whole experience very comforting and i felt in good hands for the whole time.. In my recovery i am still in constant contact with him and his staff. i have an appointment on Wed. to have my drainage tube taken out.. 
My husband and i planned on an extended stay, so we do not go home untill Aug 24... to make sure all is good, and i am in good traveling condition.   I would highly recoment the extended stay as i sure would not want to be traveling in my recovery stage..   

I am still recovering, as my surgery was on Aug 11, 2011 .... So i have no comment on the out come. I do know all the staff we encountered were very professional and most of them spoke english.. The CIMA hospital, where my surgery was preformed, was a wonderful modern place. The room was like a hotel room, my husband was able to stay right in my room with me.. 

If you have any other questions please message me..
