DWILSON 0 Posted March 29, 2007 Are You From Justin Texas. I Had Glb Surgery On Feb. 23, 2007 In Monterrey Mexico. My Family Flipped When I Mentioned Mexico Also. They Slowly Came Around Though. Dr. Zapata In Monterrey Is Wonderful And The Hospital There Is Awsome. Everythng About The Trip Was Great. Please Dont Let Anyone Stand In The Way Of Your Weight Loss. I Was Self-pay And I Just Could Not Pay The $15,000.00 That The Surgery Cost In Dallas. I Paid $6,990.00 And That Included The Surgery, 2 Nights At The Sheraton Hotel And One Night In The Hospital(absolutely Beautiful). I Can't Say That I Did Not Worry Alot Before The Surgery About Being In Mexico. But A Month After Surgery And 22 Lbs Lighter I Would Highly Recommend Dr. Zapata In Monterrey Mexico.

Tater Bug 1 Posted March 30, 2007 Hi there and Welcome! I too was looking into Mexico and my family and friends flipped! I was still considering it BUT. I was checking on a couple of the doctors from Mexico that said they have a list of doctors in the US that will do fills for mexico bands placed. Long story short, I was given a list of several doctors in my state and when I called the first 3, they denied and said they will not in any fashion see me if I go to mexico. Luckily the 4th doctor said why go there when they offer it for $9.950.00. That is for the entire surgery, consultation, nutritionist, psyc, 3 months post surgery follow ups and fills. After that the fills are a minimal cost (and I do mean minimal). There are lots of folks here at LBT that have gone down to Mexico and are very happy. My 2 cents is to really research and ask questions and make sure that is where you want to go and that you have a place for after so you can get fills or if problems occur. The doc that I am using has a very simple website but, he is very nice. There is a thread under doc's of others who have/will use him. Good luck in your search and best wishes on your journey!
