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.

      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.
