Hi to you! Keep me posted on your progress. Jenna

I have been researching lap-band surgery and have found that there is so much information both positive and negative that I am getting discouraged. Since I don't have insurance, and will be self pay, I have been looking into having my lap band surgery done in Mexico. I have been impressed with what I have read about Dr. Rumbaut, Dr. de la Garza, and Dr. Ortiz. I have inquired with each and have been given names of local doctors that will do the fills. I haven't inquired if these doctors will see you in case of an emergency. Can anyone give me any advise on each doctor? I live in Mississippi and have looked into costs of airline tickets. It is closer to fly to San Diego than to Monterrey, but then you have the long trip across the border and to Monterrey you fly right into the city. Dr. de la Garza has a special price including airfare as long as it doesn't go over $500.00, then you pay the excess. I have read from some of the members of this forum that they have found resonable prices in the states. I plan to have my surgery, if I qualify, in the next couple of months. I am 31 and have been obese all of my life. I have tried many diets and pills, only to regain my weight back plus more. Having married 2 years ago I would like to have a baby. I know losing weight will enable me to have a safer pregnancy. Please, can anyone give me some advice on this doctors I have mentioned as well as resonable priced and experienced doctors in the states. Some positive imput wouldhelp too. Does everyone experience complications after surgery?:help: Thanks, Jenna

Thanks! Please keep me posted on your progress. Jenna

Thanks to you both for the encouragement. :clap2: I will continue to research and hope others that have used one of these doctors in Mexico will reply. Thanks again, Jenna
