beachgirl 2 Posted December 20, 2006 I used his partner Dr. Rodolfo Sanchez. Dr. Zapate just joined in with him in the summer. Very knowledgable and sweet man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BabyGotBack 0 Posted December 23, 2006 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachgirl 2 Posted December 24, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vluckey 1 Posted December 24, 2006 Sara, Are you in Cincy (Cincinnati)? Are you sure you want Mexico? Dr. C, who is a big Doc on this web site is in Cincinnati. He's my doc, he's fabulous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachgirl 2 Posted December 24, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachgirl 2 Posted December 25, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
