surgery in Mexico

SpursFan · June 23, 2006

Hello Everyone,

I will have the lap band procedure done in Monterrey Mexico. Has anyone heard anything about Dr. Sanchez? Does anyone know where I can get fills in Texas? I heard it's hard finding a doctor to do the fills in the US when u have the surgery done in Mexico. I am scheduled to have it done July 3rd.:nervous

I had Dr. Sanchez, you will be extremely pleased with the care you recieve. He is a wonderful surgeon and I had complete confidence in him. What part of Texas are you in? I am on the south tip and usually just drive 40 minutes across the border and meet him at a hospital he operates out of there. He did refer me to a fill doc, whom I saw for my first fill. I just prefer to meet him and Dr. Susanah and get fills from them!

I live in San ANtonio. You go back to Monterrey to get the fills? Where do u stay? I am sooo nervous about this procedure and more afraid of the fills once I have it done. How soon did u need a fill after the surgery?

Hey there! Just saw this post! Dr. Sanchez hooked me up with a doctor that does my fills. The fills are honestly painless and take all of 2 minutes or less. What part of Texas are you in? I have P.Md you but I know that there are several people on here banded by Dr. Sanchez...maybe someone else already knows of an aftercare doc in your area.

p.s. I have never heard anything but good things about Dr. Sanchez here or on any other board. He has an impeccable reputation as far as I know. Do a search on him.....you will hear happy bandsters reporing!

I was banded by Dr. Sanchez on 5/25/06. Wonderful experience. His entire staff was wonderful and went out of their way to help you. No regrets at all. His website has a support group that has a file for fill dr's in the US. Best wishes.

Look on the Texas thread. I think you will find some fill doctors. I also think there is a fill usa in San Antoinio. It might be another large operation, but I know I've read something about it.

Hi there! Welcome to LBT!! I am being banded by Dr. Sanchez on the 10th of July. I have complete confidence in him, and have dealt with his staff a lot in the last month and a half. I have been researching the band over a year and a half and really trust my decision. Good luck on getting banded, and have fun in Mexico!!
