Alex, Please someone help. I just tried to get in contact with my lapband surgeon because it has been 1 and 1/2 yrs post op and I have not lost one pound. My husband is furious and feels scammed. I have been very ill with respritory issues and my family believes it is due lapband. My stomach has been very bloated and tender this entire time, and my breathing is terrible. My doctor has me on oxygen 24/7! I lost too much blood after surgery, my IV came loose I I almost bled to death. WELL, when I tried to look up Dr. Huacuz to ask for his help, and I saw all the terrible stuff about his malpractice & unsatisfied patients! I am crying & shaking all over. When I typed on the page for "Tijuana Lapband Surgeon in jail" and boom pops up a picture of MY doctor!!! I am so upset and scared right now. Who is going to help me now? I don't want to sue, or have him arrested I just want him to help me and fix what's wrong. I paid alot of money & missed a lot of work. What do I do now? How do I get help. Do I contact the authorities? Please someone give me advice quickly, my husband is ready to call the police, and get a lawyer. Please contact me fast

Thank you all for the concern & good advice, I see I was not detailed enough in my post, in my defense it was my very FIRST post and at 2:30 am after the shock of seeing a mug shot of my surgeon so a little slack please 1. I have been under a doctors care and have the medical bills to prove it (ouch $$$$) Constant care. 2. I did recieve post op instructions & followed them to a T. Exercise & diet I have the YMCA membership and grocery bills to prove that too, hee hee. So with that being said I assure you I am living up to my responsibilities as an adult. And thou you do not know me, I am here to say I am not a person who is in it for a quick buck by suing somebody. I have never went to court in my life. I don't even return my meal at a restaurant if it sucks, I just chalk it up to "life", ya know? I simply got shook up from seeing a mug shot of the man who operated on me in Mexico, plus the fact of my unusual health symptoms since the surgery. More worrisome then the lapband was my mass amount of blood loss. I feel like I have some internal infection of sorts (But I am by NO means a doctor, and it is just my feeling). My post was not saying Dr. Huacuz has damagaged me. It said my family (especially my hubby) has been saying all my health problems started as soon as I had the lapband so as you can imagine he hit the roof once he saw the article... My post was expressing my fear and my feeling of "What do I do now" Prior to this I had spent much time trying to get my records from the Tijuana clinic for the Gastric fill center I am going to state side without any luck. I do agree that I need a fill, and have every intention of getting one when I have the extra $425. ~ It is my doctor's belief that some of my failure to loose wieght is due to the medication I am on to breathe. I agree that this has some role in the band failure. ~I also am not sure Dr. Huacuz did anything to damage or harm me. I simply am a little more convinced there is a possibility he might have now than I was initially when my family had concerns. I don't know many people who, if they were having unexplained health complications after a trip to Mexico for a surgery, that wouldn't be a little alarmed to see a mug shot of their doc! And I do say unexplained health complications because in my doctors own words they "came out of the blue" Again like I stated in my initial post all I want is for the Doc to fix me if he did make a mistake. Key word being "IF", aside from that I just want to feel better, get back to work and loose the pounds I set out to do. I will say this will make me turn up the heat to get my records sent to me from the clinic so my doctor has all the facts. Take Care everyone, and congrats on your success.
