I chose a doctor in tijuana for many reasons. one being that i live in arizona and it is only 1 hour flight to san diego and then a quick drive across the border. I did not want to fly into mexico. too time consuming. Less hassle to fly to california. The driver picks you up and your in and out that same day. I went to Dr. HUACUZ because his price and his credentials, also i spoke to the nutritionist DR.ROMERO on the phone and i was convinced of his expertise. I am in the medical field and i was impressed that he was so knowledgable on syndrome X. I also negotiated a bit on the price. you can do that in mexico. I have heard good things about dr.kuri. i dont know the prices. they seem to be lower all the time. i think you can call and talk to the doctors. see how you feel. thats what i did. i think dr huacuz and his staff are very genuine and compassionate. i never felt uncomfortable with anyone or with my surgery. i never had any vomiting or pain after the surgery. i had my band put in the 11/14/2005 and i have had 2 fills. so far i have lost 40 lbs. that is great for me. some lose slower and some faster . i will have dr. huacuz do a tummy tuck if i need it. but that is a long way away. i still have 60 lbs to go. good luck.
