I used his partner Dr. Rodolfo Sanchez. Dr. Zapate just joined in with him in the summer. Very knowledgable and sweet man.

I haven't heard of him, but I am getting banded by Dr. Ariel Ortiz. He wrote a book called Lap band for life (Amazon.com) and he is awsome. I have heard a lot of great things about him on the board. He was trained by the maker of the lapband and has taught doctors around the world.

Hope that helps,Audree

go to www.ready4achange.com for any info on Dr. Zapata. He has done thousands and his partner done mine and he'd done more than 7000. They will replace them for free if you have any problems but his complication rate is less than 1/2 percent. He is fabulous. They will answerany questions you have there on the website. Talk to Judy, she is the one that helped me so much. I have pictures of the hospital, guesthouse, and all of that if you would like to see. Pm if you have any questions. I've had absolutely no problems and am completely satisified.

Dr. C is my fill doctor and he is wonderful. If you have the money is would be great. I also know about the money thing. I didn't have the money it takes in the states because I didn't want to borrow it or finance it so I took it out of savings and had it done in Monterrey. You have to do what ever you feel in your heart you can do. Dr. C is great.

Yes, I am in Cincinnati, and I was hopeing to have Dr Curry do my band but even though my insurance would cover it my husband's work has a no wieght loss surgery exception! I did go to a seminar by Dr. Curry and would love to stay local but unfourtanatly I am streaching to even pay for in Mexico. I am planning on going to him for fills though since he is only about 5 miles away! I know I'm luckey.

Take Care,

Sara

Yes you are, you'll be getting the best of both worlds. You'll love Dr. Zapata and they're whole staff and Dr. Curry is top notch. I wouldn't let anyone else do my fills even though they're free with Dr. Zapata.

Yep, it's sad but true. He was my surgeon as well. I called his office Thanksgiving week and talked to them to make sure it was true and it is. He was shot twice in the back while on his ranch.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
