Hey!

I have never heard of your doctor, but I was banded in Monterrey, MX by Dr. Arturo Rodriguez. I would just be really careful. If you don't get any feedback on your doctor. I did a lot of research and finally got it down to 2 dr.s and and chose Dr. Rodriguez because I had not heard of ONE negative thing about him and his creditials are outstanding. You can go to thebariatrics.com to find out more. feel free to email if you need more info. Good luck.

I have a friend that used Doctor Javier de la Garza in Monterrey and he is a very good doctor, I checked out all his credentials and everything is in order, he has performed many lap band surgeries and has lots of experience. He has a website were you can get lots of good information, I was originally going to use him, but he was not available on the dates that I could travel to Mexico. He travels all over teaching other doctors on the band procedure. I spoke with him several times and he answered all of my questions and was very helpful. He has a manual that he wrote that you can download on his website. Here is his web address: www.obesitysurgery.com.mx

Hi there, you are very smart to do research. I recently (12/2/04) got my lap band placed by Dr. De La Garza in Monterrey. I live in San Antonio so it wasn't far for me to go. I cannot tell you enough great things about him and his staff. WOW. This man is the best. He is the one coming over to train the surgeons here in the US. The facilities were exceptional. I highly recommend him. Even if I would of had the money to do it here, I would still go over there. That is what they do, and they do it well. The hospital room was bigger than my living room and master bedroom combined. Make sure to take some DVD movies to watch in the room because you will have a big screen tv with DVD in your hospital room.

Good luck.

I can't thank you all enough for responding about Dr. Javier De La Garza. I was going to get banded On January 28th with Dr. Joya (who I am told is excellent, too) but decided to have Dr. Javier De La Garza due to his credentials and when I spoke to him, he seem very kind and knowledgeable. I was also impressed that he writes articles and teaches other dr.'s (US DOCS) how to do the surgery. Needless to say, he had an earlier date too, which made it even better.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
