good luck picking the doctor that you feel is right for you. i recommend DR.HUACUZ. He has a brand new state of the art facility. I was there the day it passed inspection. very nice and clean. also the price is cheaper than most and the service is excellent. DR HUACUZ has been the best doctor i have ever had. he is really talented and goes out of his way for his patients. customer service is the key with him. call him personally. he will tell you everything on the phone. i have sent many people to him and they are all very pleased. i hope all goes well for you. check out the website online and read . good luck.

oh ya, doctor huacuz also does the tummy tucks and all the stuff you need after losing all the weight. i will have a Tummy Tuck by him next fall. im still trying to lose a few more pounds. ive lost 95lbs. i have gone up and down ten lbs a few times and have hit a wall. so , now i work out harder and try to watch the carbs... doc gives you a discount for any surgery you have after your lapband. thats cool. i looked at the new pictures of the tummy tucks he did and im amazed. i hope i will do as well. i think the tummy tuck is very affordable.

I along with a friend are getting banded with Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tiajuana, Mexico in July. I had the chance to get a consult with the nutrutionist, surgeon, and got a facility tour including the room I'll be staying in the night of my surgery. It's a great place and as well have had nothing but good things. Dr. Ortiz has a great medical record and has had so many satisfied patients and it's even hard considering anyone else. Google him, there is tons of info. on him including who and where he proctors.

I would like to put in my 2 cents. I have just arrived home from MX and being banded. It was awsome! beyond my expectations and the care was unbelievable. would love to get this type of care at a US hospital. The hospital was Spotless, staff completely attentive to any requests and again I am excited for the journey but Dr.Aceves is awsome. He actually does his surgeries in a hospital that is privately owned. The hospital reminds you of a high class hotel. They are constantly cleaning. My DH was very impressed. I know that I will pay the extra in airfare to get fills in MX b/c my confidence is in dr. and his staff.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
