Wow. Everyone is giving two thumbs up to Dr Garza. I want to know more. I have honestly know nothing about him. Anyone? Thoughts???

I have contacted Belite though and they are nt the same as Beliter. I asked... The names are so close. It is really confusing.

If you like this doctor you should contact his office directly. Regarding Belite...turn around and run!

Yes ... please please PLEASE do your own research on doctors instead of relying on people's posts here. Check out the "Doctors & Hospitals" forum here on LBT ... in there is a wonderful thread on how to successfully research Mexico Lap Band surgeons. Best of luck on your journey!

I had the same problem with Belighter. I didn't sign up with them..contacted Dr. Sanchez' directly, and his anesthesiologist made a gal, Anna Marie (I think that was her name) my liason. She had health problems, trying to not have premie triplets....but I get to Monterray, no one at the airport. I call the gal in the hospital (after I borrow a phone because I didn't know I had to do the international thing) and she wants me to call someone else. I'm in a panic and insist she take care of business..which she did. I catch a cab to the hospital, where Dr. Sanchez' son, Rudopho meets me and says they weren't expecting me until friday (it was Monday, surgery planned for Tuesday). It was all taken care of and I had a wonderful surgeon Dr. Chapa. BTW...I scheduled this in December 06....Dr. Sanchez was murdered in November I think, and no one told me. I found out on the boards.

And, I was supposed to get reimbursed for my expenses (the taxis) and never saw that 25 bucks again. I also used a card to pay for the surgery (to rack up some skymiles) all pre-arranged, however they charge an additional fee to use it...never mentioned. So, I would steer clear of Belighter!

i couldnt agree more. there are MANY patient coordinators on here that like to interrupt conversations and totally diss one of their competitors.

I agree, everyone should do their own research. Part of research could be reading these boards. But even then, things go awry. I am not a patient coordinator. I was just telling of my experience.
