What would you do??? I know if you go to Mexico Ungston would be the only one you would choose in Mexico for a DS (and this is a VSG to DS revision). But is Ungston THE best and would you choose to go to him over a vetted US surgeon?
Trying to decide 1) on the surgery itself. It would be the only surgery I would have done, but I'm still researching and coming to terms with the changes a malabsorptive procedure brings. 2) Trying to decide whether to go to Mexico or vetted surgeon in Tennessee or Georgia. I live in Tennessee.
What would you do.....
(I've been to Mexico for surgery and it was fine, but it was the lap band, however, my family (not my husband but other family) is extremely hesitant of my going out of country for such a serious operation). When I had my band to VSG revision the first question that was asked was "you're not going to Mexico are you...". LOL. I went to David Kim in Texas, because at the time he was the surgeon to go to for VSG and he was very affordable and I think he did an excellent job on my tummy. It was a bit of a circus at the hospital with all the procedures he did ahead of me, but my tummy looked good. Haven't seen it since, though. Interested in what it looks like now.
Is Ungston the BEST overall, or will Dr. Stephen Boyce be just as good. I am also looking at Dr. Stephen Smith.
Any input would be appreciated.
