Self-paying???
Just wanted to pass the word that if you're a pre-op and considering self-pay as an option to pursue your surgery that Dr. Aniceto Baltasar will be in San Francisco, California during the week of the ASBS Conference. (See www.drbaltasar.com or www.bodybybaltasar.com, as well as www.asbs.org for more information about Dr. Baltasar, his patients, and the ASBS and the annual conference.)
Dr. Baltasar is scheduling consults with pre-ops who are interested in knowing more about both the LapDS and Lap Sleeve Gastrectomy. The main dates that he will be seeing prospective patients are Monday, June 26th and Tuesday, June 27th. For those who are post-ops and would like to have the opportunity to meet with him for a post-op follow-up appointment, he is happy to schedule those, as well.
If you are a pre-op and considering the out-of-country option for surgery, this is an excellent way to get to meet up with a surgeon and have a consultation.
If you'd like to schedule a consult, you can email Dr. Baltasar directly if you'd like ([email protected]). If you have any questions, please let me know. My email address is [email protected]
Just an aside - a WHOLE BUNCH of Baltasar post-ops will be going to San Francisco the entire week of the ASBS Conference (June 26th - July 1st) and will be taking tours, getting together for lunches and dinners, and some of us will also be attending some of the classes that the ASBS will be hosting. Let me know if I can provide further info about this, okay?
Blessings,
