skyeblu79 0 Posted September 19, 2006 I just wanted to say hi and reintroduce myself. I am not really a newbie. I was posting earlier this year with the hopes that my insurance would pay for my surgery. I found out that my UHC plan wouldn't cover it and I basically put the thought out of my head. I have now decided to save up and finance the surgery myself. I really didn't think of this as being an option @ all before. I have been saving and I think after tax time that I should have enough to do the surgery. The $$ could surely go to other ways (family, etc.), but I see this as my last resort. Either way the $$ would go to good use. Anywho, I pretty much see that I will have to do the surgery in Mexico, b/c that is the only way I can afford it. My family and friends will probably have a cow when they find this out. I have really only started researching this as an option a few days ago. I still have @ least 3 months away to completely decide doctors, etc and to research everything. I have gotten a lot of information on hear and would love to talk to people about their experiences with the lapband and surgery in Mexico. Thanks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*susan* 1,709 Posted September 20, 2006 Hi and welcome back! I was not banded in Mexico, but thought I would poke my head in and give you a shout "hello" anyways. I was self-pay, we refinanced the house to pay for my surgery. I will never regret it either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyeblu79 0 Posted September 20, 2006 Hi to both of you. Thanks so much for replying. The Best Me- I will try to look up some info on Dr. Kuri. Do you have a website anything? I have mostly been hearing about Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Rumbault in Mexico. How were you experiences with Dr. Kuri? Susan- I am a grad student, so I am using my student loans to finance the surgery. I should have the rest of the $$ needed in January. From your stats, both of you seem to be doing very well. Thanks again for replying!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the best me 6 Posted September 20, 2006 Skye, Dr Kuri's site is www.beliteweight.com I'm a very happy Kuri patient. I think (my opinion) you have narrrowed it down to the top 3 in MX. I can't for the life of me rememebr Ortiz' web addy. If you want it I can find it for you...gimme a shout. I can get you Rumbaut's too, with some digging! Anyhow, I don't hesitate recommending Dr Kuri. He's wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should be able to do a search for Rumbaut. Another doctor I have seen mentioned a lot is Dr. Arturo Rodriguez. So, I guess I will check him out too... I might have some more questions on Dr. Kuri once I do more research. Thanks so much!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
