How does the post-op work if your surgeon is in Mexico?

I've been told there really osn't any post op.
I am seeing my PCP tomorrow to let her know where I am haiving my surgery .
I am hoping she will do all my follow up blood work .

Welcome to gastric sleeve! I have done a ton of research on the sleeve and surgeons because like yourself I have no insurance. I believe Dr Almanza has a good track record and through my research (5 yrs) i have found nothing negative. I'm nervous but I think I will have mine done with Dr Almanza. Good Luck on your surgery!
