I went to Dr. Sanchez and the entire procedure was $7,999. He is a wonderful surgeon and the Santa Engracia hospital is American owned and super nice, clean, state of the art modern. It rivals any care I could have gotten in the states. Be very sure you have aftercare arranged before you go the Mexico route. I live in the very south tip of Texas so it has been very easy for me to meet Dr Sanchez when he is in Matamoros, and he also referred me to a doctor 45 min away for fills. He gave me his personal cell number, I called several times and he is very glad to answer any questions and very compassionate. I will gladly talk to you if have any questions. Message me if you want my phone number!

I was banded by Dr. Sanchez - wow, what a great experience. Everything is first rate from the driver who picks you up at the airport, to the hospital and its wonderful staff, to the guest house which is so much better than staying in a hotel.

I would recomend Dr. Sanchez to anyone looking into getting banded.

BUT DO BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE AFTERCARE AND A FILL DOCTOR LINED UP BEFORE BANDING.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
