Guest d-sani Posted June 9, 2004 Hi, My sister is thinking of getting lap banded in Mexico because she doesn't have insurance. We are thinking about Dr. Rodriguez from www.thebariatrics.com. I am really glad I found this forum because it has a wealth of information. However, I have not been able to find that much information about Dr. Rodriguez and that sort of makes me nervous. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can do more research on him, the hospital facility and also of other reasonable alternatives close to TEXAS???? Any positive/negative comments and especially pointers or advice will be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagerteresa 3 Posted June 10, 2004 Hello, I know www.belighter.com lists several doctors in Mexico including some in monterey. It is also a very informative sight and has links to other support groups including the mexican bandsters. Best of luck on your search, Teresa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texasbelle 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Yes, I was banded by Dr. Arturo Rodriquez on 4-2-04. He is a very competent surgeon and a geniunely kind person. He has been placing the band for many years. I do not regret choosing him for my surgery. The hospital was only 2 years old and very modern and beautiful. Everyone was very attentive to my needs. The hotel he uses is the Hilton and it was excellent. I was well taken care of in and out of the hospital. Everyone loves the doctor that does their band. There are many that are available. I am sure you will make the right decision for you and your success. Carolyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
