Hello, I just found this Forum on the Sleeve Talk website and was wondering if there were any fellow Canadians out there. I am waiting for my first appointment Nov 16th in Victoria with Dr Amson. I want to have the VSG and hopefully asap. The wait is about three years, from what I've been told, and unless I can find 15,000 dollars somewhere I'll be waiting it out LoL. I'd love to here from you!:patriot:

Hi Hottstuff,

I am planning to have the procedure done in November in Mexico. I am just trying to decide with who and where. Have you decided yet where you are going?

hi there I am from Toronto going to Mexico to have my sleeve done October 8,2013 with Dr Fernando Garcia and I am terrified

I am from Fort McMurray Alberta, heading to TJ on Sept 26th for surgery on the 27th. My surgeon is Dr Ariel Ortiz. Anyone else going to be there the same time? I'm going alone

hey I was thinking about Dr Ortiz but it scared me that is a clinic not a hospital and I went with Dr Garcia

A lot of Doctors have a floor in a medical building or other building as a surgical clinic. Doctors here in Canada have same.

yes I know but I was looking for something that has icu and blood bank I don't know if I made the right choice I am having second thoughts and nightmares and 4 more week to go before surgery

Whatever you are worries about voice it to your dr. It will help

I am scared that I will have complications once I am back in Canada

Let me reassure you. I came back from Mexico after plastic surgery and my garment caused me a rash. It spead and was itching so bad I wanted to tear my skin off. I went to emerg. First of all the doctir could nit believe how nice and thin and low the scar was after just 1 week post tt. Then I told him I had surgery in San Diego because my dr has san diego address. He didnt care. Just gave me perscription and went to next patient.

THANK YOU I guess they will have to help me but will probably look at me funny. I never had any surgery and my stress level is very high right now I am doing this in secret so have nobody to talk to except my husband but he soon will be sick of me

You can talk to me. I can support you. I have been to mexico 3 times

My friend and her 2 friends had surgery in Mexico as well. Their doctor has a surgical centre and you recover for 2 days in a rexovery house surrounded by registered nurses.
