Hello everyone my name is Laceine, I was just banded on 1/20/09 in Juarez, Mexico by Dr. Jose Rodriguez. My Dr was wonderful I did research and he is one of the first Dr's to perform the lapband and is considered one of the best bariactric surgeons in the world with well over 7,000 lapband surgeries performed, and 80% of them are Americans. The hospital was better than any hospital I have ever been in the states. It was more like a five star hotel. So forget what you have heard about getting banded outside the states. If you are a cash patient like me and don't want to pay $20,000.00 for your lapband surgery consider Dr. Rod. I only paid $7,000.00 with two nights stay and the best service I have ever had in my life. The service included a facilitator, the sugical team, psychiatrist, and Dietician. This was a wonderful experience!!! :tt2:
