I'm new to the forum, but have already decided that Mexico is the way for me to go. I'm going to have to self pay, which is still goign to be difficult because my credit sucks, but i'm hoping to get my mother to co-sign a loan for me.

Anyway, I found a Dr. Jose Rodriguez located in Acuna, Mexico, that charges $7750. You just have to get to San Antonio and they pick you up there and drive you about 2.5 hours to Acuna, which is just across the border from Del Rio, TX. Since, I live in Houston, getting to San Antonio is easy.

My question is has anyone had their procedure done by this doctor?

Dr. Francisco Gonzalez, excellent track record (over ten years doing lap band surgery), 1st rate facilities, 15 minutes from San Diego International airport to his office. Why drive 2-3 hours? I got my lap band with him, great doctor, excellent human being. Give them a call, you have nothing to lose but weight! 877-249-2263.....click here.

Still waitingfor someone to answer my questions?

1.What does Dr Lopez say about his unusally high number of slips and complications?

2.What does he say he will do for you when your band slips because of his poor placement?

3. Does he NOW promise that he will return your phone calls when they are regarding a life threatening problem?

4. His asst. will do all the fills. You will never see him again. Is that o.k with you?

Again, off to job number 2 after only 3 hours of sleep. Good times! This time next year I will be ALMOST paid off I hope.

Christine:faint:

What makes you think that he has an unusually high rate of slippage and complication? Slippage is typically due to dumping, overeating, eating to fast.

You are making a lot of accusations with nothing to back it up. Also I am still waiting for your fax.

Another thing. When I spoke with Allergan about Dr. Corvalla's qualifications they said that he is a very qualified Dr and that they have not recieved any complaints.

</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>I was not trying to be mean at all. This is an annoymous internet forum. Who knows who you really are. You could be his ex for all I know. I am just a skeptic. I am going to have my surgery with Dr. Lopez and I have a guarantee in writing that if there is a slippage or leak due to surgical error.</p> <p> </p> <p>Let me appologize if I came across as mean. I did not mean to do that. Good luck. I will check back after my surgery and let everyone know how it went.</p>

I meant to put that the guarantee is they will fix it at no cost.

Too many people saying great things about this Lopez Corvala. It's scary, please do your research!

Thanks. That is very sweet. I had my band re-done by Dr Billy here in Ventura last Jan. In May I had all my fill removed because I am pregnant. I am due in Jan and will get back on the program after I have the baby. It is so weird having NO restriction! I went 4 years having to think carefully about every ounce of food that went in my mouth. Is there a bathroom near by in case something gets stuck etc....Now, it is very strange to eat bread and all the things I couldn't eat before.

I went from 220lbs to around 164lbs once. I will do it again!

Thanks again!

Christine

      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.
