No but i was considering him. Have you used a mexico doctor if so whom and how much? I'm considering getting the lap band in mexico due to the cheaper expenses but scared to go over there or have to pay allot of money for fills once back in MA. What is typicall for fills? How many do you get? I want this so bad! Has anyone been to mexico? can you help me out?

I was talking with a rep from his office. He seems like a very qualified doctor with a competitive surgery package. Check out his website http://www.thebariatric.com/index.html

One of the things that makes him more appealing is that they offer the surgery at both a new very nice hospital and an older more basic hospital. This allows them to charge a little less if you aren't picky about the surgery "venue".

I was also banded by Dr. Arturo Rodriguez and his staff are wonderful. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. I was also afraid of going to Mexico. I have returned several times alone since my surgery. The only regret I have about the surgery is that I waited so long before finally getting it done.

Monterrey is nothing like the border city of mexico which have given that country the bad rap.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
