Hey dude, have you even read legallyblonde2's posts?? Go to watevr doc fills your needs man! You look like your on a purifyin crusade. search for your docs posts and youll find plenty of complaints shes not the only one! you think its good business for any lapband maker to publizize when their certified docs mess up? Wkeup man! go to the doc that you chose. Whoever we chose, we reap the benefeits or suffer consequences! Legallyblonde, let this guy go, don't followhis game, you got enogh troubles as it is ive read your posts and youv beeen thru the ringer woman!you dont need this!

After readin these threads for some time I came up with a little system: To chose my surgeon I will take these into considration: 1 Most surgeries performed (lapbands) 2 Least complications (based on patient complaints) 3 Ability to resolv complicatons 4 Availability for questions AFTER your surgery and speaks english 5 Facilities And my top choices are: 1 Ortiz: Many surgeries, very little complaints, available for questions, english speaking dr. and staff , great facilities 2 Gonzalez: Many surgeries, no complaints, available for questions, english speaking dr and staff, great facilities 3 Ungson: not that many surgeries, no complaints, available for questions, fair english speaker, very good facilities All the other guys in these forums are plagued with complaints and unpleased patients, infested with people selling them, or they are unreachable or both. Ill be lookin into these guys a little more and hopin i dont run into any more soap opera digests.

JEEZ-LOUISE!!!!!!!!!!! Here I am one day, simple chunky me, I sez to myself "calvin, why don't you go out on the internet and find that cheap lap-band surgeon in tee-a-juana everyone is raving about???????? Well I got on this here internet and BAM!!!!!!!!!!! As sure as I live and breathe I run across a friken soap opera!! (no disrespect to the real posters and people who fight the real fight against obesity) I started readin' and this is what i got so far: (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG) Some chick named mya whos 18 years old wants a lap band, ok, but wait there's more, her bmi is 18!!!!!!!!.....some sleezy doctor in tee-a-juana is willing to do it ( some bttencurt fella), shes all paid up in advance even!!!!!!mind you shes 18 and shes got 8500 big ones on hand!!!! (????) Theres a bunch of people on the forum saying: no mya please!!!!!please don't do it!!!!!!!!!!! the mya chick sez: im doing it!!!!! i wanna be a model!!!!!(shes short). Next thing you know: her tee-a-juana doctor backs out!!!!! My take on the above: the sleezy doc sez: i need skinny teenagers to sell more bands, ill get a skinny patient to lure more skinny patients!!!!! Unplanned response: forum participants rise in an uproar,.......sleezy doc response: you need a psych evaluation and a prescription for a lap band???Baloney I sez,Baloney!!!!!They couln't figure out an 18 year old with a bmi of 18 and 8500 big ones (ON HAND) needed a psych evaluation before scheduling her???!!!Baloney!!!! Someone named joanne sells lapbands for a surgoen named kuri, does it out of a nice hospital.....the hospital sez: wait, she sells a lot of these, why doesnt she sell lap bands for us??????we can pay her more than this guy kuri, so joanne after years of praising the living daylights out of kuri (for several years), sez whoa!!!this hospital will give me more mula than kuri!!!!and bammmmmm just like that, pull a Brutus (hes the guy that stabbed caesar in the back) on kuri. this chick joanne starts filling the hospital with patients.......muchou mula!!! But wait ,A kink in the plan......her top doc's closet door flys right open and the truth comes out, hes got tons of come backs!!!!!!! infections, slips etc etc (bet she wishes she would have stayd with kuri). Plan "B": shes got another doc waiting in the wings to take her top guy's place.........smaaaaaart, very smart!!!! THESE FACILITATORS TELL YOU: to always deal directly with them BEFORE THE SURGERY (till you pay). Do they tell you to deal with them when you start having problems????no baby, you are on your own!!!!ridin'solo! not even the surgeon is around to help you! (ask legallyblonde2) But for how long will there be unsuspecting patients willing to be a part of this whole little charade, I ask, for how long???!!! lets raise our voices in protest I say!!!!!!enoough!!!!or do i alone stand against the wind???????? -
O MY GOD! I DON'THINK YOU SHOULD CONSIDER LOPEZ Corvala, HE SEEMS LIKE HE'S HAD PROBLEMS INSTALLING LABANDS! DO YOUR RESEARCH!

Too many people saying great things about this Lopez Corvala. It's scary, please do your research! Concerned Calvin

I WAS ALL EXCITED... Not any more. I was considering Corvala, but some posts I found made me shy away, so my Quest is still on for a lap band surgeon. (sigh,sigh,sigh) Confused Calvin P.S. rere923: Who was it that gave you good references on Corvala? What Hospital?

CHRISSY: JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH!!!!!!!! I'M SCARED!!! Is the Lopez Corvala in legallyblonde's quote the same as yours? You know I have been reading posts on this site for a while, looking for a lap band surgeon and I thought I had found Lopez to be a good one, but upon further searching I came across legallyblond2. It's horrible the way she was treated by Corvala. I am no longer considering Corvala. Legallyblonde2 you hang in there! We are all rooting for you! Concerned Calvin
