    hi, i dont know that doctor, maybe he is new. there are several popular docs that do the lapband in mexico . i used DR HUACUZ, i was very pleased. i think if you read the posts you will hear about many docs. call around and check them out. i had my band a put in a year ago and ive lost 70 lbs. im very pleased but it is a big adjustment. i was afraid it wouldnt work. but, it has been the best thing i have everdone. the first few weeks are the hardest. you have to follow the RULES. cant eat too much or too fast or you will get sick. i did that a couple of times and now i am very careful to eat slow. i dont eat much at all anymore. mostly soup and salads. i do still have a few alcoholic drinks once in a while. not too much or it makes my band feel too tight. so just listen and follow the docs instructions. dr huacuz has a really awesome nutritionist , DR ROMERO , he knows so much about metabolic syndrome . he gave me great advice on what to eat and vitamins to take. i take liquid vitamins and L-CARTININE. he will tell you what to eat and when. they print out a complete guide to go by. i still have mine. they also do your fills. so far ive had 3 and i feel good as long as i get enough protein. i drink atkins protiens shakes daily. good luck. i hope you find a doctor you feel comfortable with. i feel lucky to have had such a good experience.
  2. hi. i went to dr. huacuz in tijuana. i was very pleased with the price and the care i recieved. i know there are many docs to pic from. i have sent many of my friends to doctor huacuz and so far all are pleased with him and his staff. i have not had any complications or pain. this was the best thing i ever did for my self. just make sure you do follow the instructions the docs give you and you will be fine. the lapband is a tool and i had to learn to eat slow and not too much. i hope you have a good experience like me. i had no pain or nausea after my surgury. i was only in the OR for 40 minutes. it is a pretty quick procedure. i can reccomend doctor huacuz. i like his staff, everyone made me feel special and comfortable. i was nervous about going . but it all worked out fine. i go back for my fills and that is always fun. i actually like mexico now.

    Any one use Dr Daniel Huacuz

    I like my lapband and i like dr. huacuz in tj. I have sent my friends to him also. we are all pleased with the service and the aftercare. I think he is a safe choice. check out his website and call. He has a very good staff and a nice private clinic. I think he is trust worthy. good luck. I am so glad i got the band. life is good.
