Surgery in Mexico



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am having the surgery but just not sure where. My plan is to have it at Huacuz Surgical Center by Dr. Huacuz. Has anyone Lapband surgery from him? My husband, family and friends are worried about having it in Mexico yet I am not and it is half the price as USA. I don't have insurance that will cover it in the states. Please reply ASAP. Thank you.

And how much is he charging you? I hope you don't mind me asking!?! I am thinking about going to Mexico, too! I just don't know where or how to begin my search for a quality physician south of the border.

I had Lapband surgery from Dr. Huacuz in August 2006 and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I will never have surgery in the US again. He is the most passionate and caring physician and his team is the best in the world. He has made a difference in my life. I was nervous too but after my husband had his done in May 2006 by the same physician, I felt safer in Mexico than I did in my own hometown. My email address is: maryblvnv@aol.com if you want to ask more questions or need more information I would be more than happy to help out.

God Bless

You all will do great and don't worry it's not worth it. It was much more simple than when I had a crown done, I swear. I too had a wonderful experience in Mexico and would go back in a heartbeat, much more caring than here. Dr. Sanchez done mine and it was 8500.00. Keep us informed, all of you. Good luck.

I had my surgery done by Dr. Aceves on 10/06 in Mexicali, Mexico, just south of El Centro, California. Everything went just fine and I would recommend him to anyone. The hospital was new and very nice. I felt I was in good hands. Good luck and God Bless!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
