Made my mind up to go to Mexico to have the gastric sleeve procedure. So far I'm impressed by remarks about the high standards there. Spoke with Dr Z on Sunday I should be receiving my instructions to start my diet to prepare for the surgery. The only question I have is this; I had the lap band for 5 years had to have it removed for health reasons. Now I'm very interested in the sleeve to lose my weight of gain back. The insurance paid for the initial lap surgery, but 5 years later had a different insurance company that does not cover weight lost procedures. If you have trouble with your stomach do you back to Mexico or go to my primary care dr ? I' m afraid with getting this procedure done in Mexico, my insurance will not pay for the surgery ( paying out of pocket) will they consider this my problem only. How do I approach my doctors here in Louisiana about having the sleeve in Mexico? Anyone out there can give me a answer to my concerns?
