Doctor in Nicaragua
May 19, 2009
After my mom went to the doctor with my cousin, hundreds of pages of my medical records/surgeries and my other crap the doctor said that he was very interested in my case. He said though that it would be two surgeries not one. One would be the gastric sleeve and the other would be metabolic. The metabolic is the one that type 2 diabetics. Brazil has been doing them for years and that in the US it takes years for procedures to be okay-ed.
I did some research on my own and only one is needed. I think that maybe the doctor has never done a metabolic surgery and wanted to practice on me or he wanted to get more money another or maybe the surgery is not even metabolic and I just assumed. Better check that again. He said that he would review the file and consult with cardiologist. He was going to get back with me last week. Well here is almost 2 weeks later and I have heard nothing which is pissing me off.
I know that some people think OMG going to a third world country to get surgery sounds scary but I have researched it and I was confident with my decision it just that this Dr. seems not really to be interested. I am looking now at Mexico again. I am looking at Dr. Armando Joya. I have read his reviews and talked to several people in his practice and they sound great.
Anyway the only thing I am now waiting for is finance since in Mexico its a little more expensive.
