does anyone know anything about dr. huacuz in Tijuana.

thanks

OF COURSE! I am happy to say the he banded me in Nov. 2005 and I am 95# down. I have had great success and was treated with care the whole time I was in Tijuana. Some people are hesitant to go to Mexico because they are not familiar with it and we tend to fear what is not known to us. Since I drive across the border several times a week, it is TOTALLY familiar to me. Now, I would NEVER tell my relatives because they tend to hold on to old stereotypes about Mexico in general.

Back to your question.

He gives you your choice of bands. I chose an INAMED band because I wanted something a US doctor would be able to fill since the INAMED band is FDA approved.

He and the other doctors he works with have excellent bedside manner. They take time to talk to you about the surgery, what will happen afterwards and then will keep in communication with you to answer any questions you may have along the way. You can tell that he is genuinely concerned. That is hard to find in a human being let alone a doctor.

He new clinic is state of the art and sparkling clean!

He will send a driver (Victor) to pick you up at the airport and take you back afterward. Norma is the receptionist and she is such a sweetheart. Dr. Romero will help you adjust your eating habits to your new friend, the band.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

You most definitely do need a passport at this time to get into and out of Mexico. Please make sure you have one.

If you are driving or walking across the border you do NOT need a passport until Jan. 2008. I know because I drive across 2 or 3 times a week. I even asked the border patrol officer and he assured me that not until Jan. 2008 would I need a passport to drive or walk across the border.

I LOVE discovering different things in Tijuana. I have found both Costcos, a Sam's Club and a Walmart so far. :clap2:
