Hi...where are you having it done ? I am thinking about someone at Englewood Hospital or Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhatten....who will be doing yours ?

[johnsdeb 4]

Having it done at Overlook Hospital by Dr. lopes...how about you?

[phantompouch 19]

still undecided..... I have searched for several of the best to do the gastric sleeve....and wanted to go to Mexico ...however, after reading and speaking to many people--I will have it done in the USA....take a loan.......just got out of school....so it is difficult..... how did you find your surgeon ?

I found my surgeon through my insurance company and also through lots of research. Personally I would not trust going to Mexico for any surgery. Do your research and doctor shop. Find someone that works for you and fits your personality. Good luck!

I agree with beckyrn...make sure you do your research....

Someone that I know in California suggested a surgeon at a hospital in NYC.....langone NYU ? His name is Dr. Fielding ?? Anyone hear of him ? Since I am looking at doctors only in America.....I am open to finding the best.....will take out a medical loan.... in looking at the Mexico doctors, I was so concerned since I learned of mixed messages and information? And, having such a serious operation in another country is another consideration.....?

I read a post earlier about a woman who had her surgery schedualed in Mexico...she changed her mind and asked for your money back.....she was given a hard time and the coordinator was mean and nasty....he sent her a 'rubber check;..atleast, she made the right decision.....I suppose the coordinator did not want to lose his commission......I feel that we have to be vigilant and question everything.....`thoughts ?????
