I'm having my surgery in Mexico with Dr. Ponce De Leon on June 10th. I need to find a doctor in or around the Houston or Austin TX areas for post op care. I've called a few and they don't like to provide care if they didn't do the surgery themselves. :'( Please Help.

You don't need a surgeon for after care you need a PCP. You only need a bariatric surgeon for complications and your PCP will refer you.

I hope you're right. I have a PCP and surprisingly he is on board with me going to Mexico to have the surgery. I hadn't discussed him providing the after care though. I hope he is comfortable with that.

I had the same fears. But post surgery I really don't need to see a doc, unless I start to feel bad. I did need my antibiotics in liquid form so I just went to Urgent Care for that and it was fine

I have only seen my regular doctor one time since my surgery in Mexico 10 months ago.. I was / am nervous about that as well but so far so good, she checked my blood levels and ran several tests.. my diabetic issues are gone.. blood pressure normal.. I am low on Vitamin D is all that came back <3 I wish you the same good fortune

Thank you guys for sharing and kimd words! I hope my experience is like yours! What Dr. Did you use in Mexico if you don't mind me asking?

Dr Jaime Ponce ... With the greatest Cordinator, Trish

Ms.antiband .... that's exactly who I'm using! :-)

Ms. AntiBand .... how far out are you after surgery?
