Amy, sent u a message -
I have read its a no no forever? Why?? This is a tragedy!! Lol
-
This is my big fear! Did any of you wear compression stockings? I know that they help. I know that getting up to walk will help reduce risk as well. Did your Dr send you home on blood thinners?? I know that clots are a risk with any surgery, but it's scary none the less!
-
I am self pay, and I have heard that there is such as a thing as medical complication insurance if anything should happen after surgery. Does anyone carry this or know who provides this? Thanks!!
-
I think a clotting disorder is very rare and it is probably hereditary. I don't think the average person should worry. But because clots are a risk of any surgery, just follow what your Dr says and u should be fine

Looking For Dec Sleevers Out There

Dec 4th for me!! -
Do you have to take chewable forever? With any chewables I see a lot have sugar (5-6 g). Is this ok or do we need sugar free? I found chewable multis and Calcium. Not sure if b12 comes that way. Thanks!!!

Dr. Fernando Garcia
coolmamma73 replied to Jarrod1997's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
yes I would like to know that too, and if not using a coordinator what is his cost and how do you get picked up/transfered back and forth? Thanks!! -
Is that test something you can get at your general Dr office?

I know the standard is 8 ounces for most powdered protein shakes. Can we drink that much all at once? Do u make half a serving size or just make a standard amount and sip until gone? Does this make sense? Lol

Which Dr's Do Staple And Suture?
coolmamma73 replied to amytug's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I will be with dr Garcia next month and I am almost 100% certain he does the staples and then sutures over that. I spoke with alma his coordinator. She also said he uses titanium staples (the standard). I don't think you could go wrong with him! Good luck in your decision -

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate the responses -
Same with my family, they think I am crazy! They think Mexico, and the worst comes to mind! We have to remember that WE have done the research. I have been sending them good reviews I find if the Dr and hospital hoping it will ease their minds. But in the end, I am doing this for ME and I am the only one I need to convince Be confident in your decision!
