    Who was your doctor? I am planning to go on 10/4

    I would suggest you resend your email to Alma. I had sent her an email that she hadn't responded to so I emailed her again a couple days ago and she had overlooked it. Her office had flooded so I think she was distracted with that. Once I sent the follow up email she had responded fairly quickly.

    How are you feeling?

    Leak?

    atlchick replied to Sannah's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Hi, I am likely going to use Dr. Garcia. How are you feeling now that so much time has gone by since your surgery?

    I did it!

    atlchick replied to Lipps's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Who was your doctor and how did you like them?
  8. atlchick
    Ok, thanks for clarifying. Freaked me out a little if they couldn't handle that at their own hospital. I still am in decision mode so thinking of all the "what if's" is hurting my brain.
  9. atlchick
    Wait, I am confused. Why did you go back to TJ hotel if you were already in the states?
  10. atlchick
    Glad to hear you are feeling better!
  11. atlchick
    Sorry to hear you are having some complications. Why did you not get treated at the hospital in TJ? I thought it was a full service hospital? Do you think your ins will cover this? Hoping for a speedy recovery!
  12. atlchick
    Is that the hotel or hospital bathroom. Yes, disgusting!

    They are gonna think you had surgery anyway! I haven't had the surgery yet but I think I will tell everyone after I have lost significant amount of weight. Its only a few days to take off if you use the weekend so they will just think I took a few days off. I also plan to start dieting before I go so people will see the changes before hand.

    I would say the sooner you quit smoking the better. I saw this today on one of the local surgeons website in the frequently asked questions section: Does smoking tobacco increase my risk for anesthesia? YES, YES, YES!!!!!

    Plane tickets purchased!

    atlchick replied to Juciilyps:)'s topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    Are you willing to share what doctor you chose and what date? I havnt chosen a doctor yet but I am leaning toward Dr. Garcia and leaning toward Oct 4th as the date. My son is out of school then and he doesn't have any soccer going on that weekend so its a lighter week for me. Just curious if you will be there then. Best wishes! Thanks!
  17. atlchick
    Best wishes! I would love to hear how things go for you when you have time. I have not decided if I am going to go through with surgery yet but I believe I will choose Dr. Garcia if I do. I havn't really heard anything negative about him. Thanks!
  18. atlchick
    Thanks for the advise. I am making a list of questions that I will ask based on experiences others have had~so now will include this one!
  19. atlchick
    Does anyone know how if Fernando Garcia has any hidden charges? Does he cover hernia repair or would that be an extra charge? I don't think I have one but it seems very common so curious. thanks!
  20. atlchick
    Hope everything went well! Who was your doctor?

    Dr. Alvarez - extension cord

    atlchick replied to JenVSG2013's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery

    Are the outlets the same as US or do you need a special converter like in Europe?

    I know that when I started a new job I had already had a vacation planned with plane tickets etc and I was very up front about it asking if it would be an issue. They had no issue with it and it didn't even matter about not having enough vacation time accrued yet. Maybe you will be blessed with this same scenario. Wish you the best of luck!
  23. atlchick
    Yes I understand that basic care should be from my PCP, however, this strictures kinda scared me b/c people had to have stints put in etc to fix this issue. This is not something a PCP would handle. It seemed like surgery. Just freaked out a little about it so if anyone had any experience that would be great. It must not be too common since I haven't seen a lot about it on this site.
  24. atlchick
    A little worried about complications and needing assistance once I leave Mexico. I didn't know this one even existed but read some of the other boards and people who had this issue. I hadn't seen it come up on the Mexico board. Anyone have this complication and how did you handle it? Thanks!
