How to check on Doctors in Mexico?



Recommended Posts

I was banded by him in July. He and his staff are FABULOUS!! I felt like I had the best care. They took great care of me. I did lots of research and found him to be one of the best. I HIGHLY recommend him. Please feel free to ask any questions.

I was also banded by Dr Lopez Corvala. I am not impressed with his follow up care but he is a very competent surgeon and did a good job in that regard.

Yes, he was my band surgeon and has done my follow ups and fills. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Huacuz. He is always available for questions and is very thorough.

<p><p>Anyone hear of Dr. Corvala in TJ? He practices out of the Angeles hopital. My friend and I are thinking of visiting the facility and having a consult with him Sept. 22. I am thinking we should visit Dr. Ortiz too. We are from L.A. so the trip isn't too bad. Any thoughts?</p></p> Dr. Carvala is touted by beliteweight

I was banded by Dr. Corvala on Sept. 19 and am very pleased, not only with him, but the Hospital Angeles and their wonderful staff. I don't speak much spanish, but the staff and I always were able to communicate or they would go get someone on the staff who could speak English very well. The hospital is magnificent! Very clean and shiny! Dr. Corvala was very patient with my questions and has checked on me once since I came home and had another of his staff call me too. Call the hospital and asks for the Tijuana Bariatric Group, or go through BeLiteWeight.com and they will set up everything, including transportation from the airport. Dr. Corvala "installed" the new J and J band too, which I requested and was cheaper. I'm very happy!

Doctor Gonzalez is an excellent surgeon with an excellent track record and great follow-up and aftercare. I recommend him without reservations.

Is there anyone else who has had experience with Dr. Zapata, a doctor in Monterrey? I need a revision and need some help choosing who to go to . The doctor who did the original surgery is no longer doing them.

I am scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Jose Rodriguez whose information can be found at www.joseband.com.

As others have suggested, I conducted research online and have found several positive things about him. His infection rate is published on his webpage as 2% and I also took the liberty of contacting several of his referrals. One referral included a professor at the Univ of Houston.

Does anyone have any personal experience with Dr. Aceves in MexiCali? I am thinking about going to him for one to avoid the TJ experience. I am from Los Angeles and will be driving and I dread driving in TJ. Also I have heard that he is good but I do not have any first hand accounts!

Thanks,

Heidi

Hi Heidi,

I used Dr. Aceves, and am totally happy with him and his staff, the hospital he used, everything! I knew people who went before me and have sent several since I was done. I would be glad to answer any questions you have.

WasABubbleButt was also an Aceves patient, and is a frequent poster on the board, and has recently reached goal in less than a year!!

I HIGHLY recomment Dr. A---feel free to PM me if you like concerning this!

I have been leaning toward going to Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey. His staff has called me and they seem very helpful in answering any and all questions I have. I have saved a little over half of the $$$ and hopefully I will be ready to go ina month or two. Does anyone have anything to say about this Doc? His credentials look really good.

:help:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
