Mexico with Dr. Altamirano OR insurance here?
I am scheduled for December 14th with Dr.Altimarino. I am looking forward to living a healthier life. I am a nurse and I have yet to find a doctor that will take the time to have a conversation on the phone with a potential patient. During my research I found videos on YouTube where he talks about obesity. To me he has a passion for helping patients live a healthy and active life style. I am working to lower my BMI and anytime I need him I just message him on Facebook. He responds rather quickly unless he is tied up with surgery. My best friend had surgery back in August and has done well. She is already down 60 pounds. I wish you the best in your search. You could definitely schedule surgery with your wife and the both of you share the journey together. Also you stay 2 days in hospital and 2 days at recovery house,which is included in the price. We have a really supportive group on FB.

Need letter from Primary Care doctor, and I don't have one
If you have went to OB GYN and discussed weight they can not deny you your medical records. I am sure they weighed you. It would be easier for them to write a letter indicating your weight than to copy all of your records. Also have you been to a orthopedic doctor? They can weigh heavily on the approval also especially if you have joint pain.
