    I discussed with my primary care physician BEFORE I went to Mexico to make sure he was on board with my aftercare. He was very supportive. I've had no issues and feel great.

    Same as Dee, went to primary before going to Mexico for full health check up and she said I was more than welcome to come to her when I got back if I had any concerns, but didnt need to, very easy recovery and no problems, just follow your doctors orders to a tee and hopefully you will be fine.

    You guys are going to laugh at me. First I went to my diabetic nurse. I kind of got a feeling she didn't like my decision. I can live without her. Then I went to my endocrinologist she looked at me and told me she would see me in three months. Then I went to my family Dr. and he told me that I didn't have to go back to Mexico for my aftercare and he would see me 10 days after surgery. All my bases were covered and I booked the surgery.
