Just a question I am having my sleeve performed in Mexico and I was wondering what doctor to see if I have any questions when I get home ? Is it hard to find someone to see?

Not answering the question but just wanted to wish you the best of luck! May your success be all that you imagined.

I can't answer this specific question but Im sure you'll get help. I was wondering how this worked myself. I would have thought that your surgeon would have a list of other dr's available in your area so he could have one already set up for after care. best wishes..

@@Amy Batchelor - You could speak with your primary for follow up. Basically he would need to see you at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 mths, 6mths then 1 year to monitor your healing. You should have bloodwork checked at at 3 mths, 6 mths and then annually to make sure your levels are okay. This way you'll know if you need to add/subtract Vitamins and/or supplements. Just call or email your primary and make them aware that you will be having bariatric surgery. Your bariatric program in Mexico will likely provide you with a guideline to eating post-op to follow.

I travelled out of my area for surgery (I went to Las Vegas). I chose a local bariatric surgeon to do my follow ups - I felt better having her rather than my primary care physician. She did my follow ups at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year and yearly after that.

I am seeing my regular PCP for follow-up. One of my friends had Sleeve done in Mexico 2 years ago, and he has done all of her follow-up labs.
