I don't know anything about him sorry. I had Dr. Zapata and he was fabulous. He is doing it for 7500.00 right now including every single thing. He's done over 7000. I can give you some info on him. Sorry I don't know anything about Dr. Carlos, maybe someone else on here had him. Good luck.

Don't know anything about that doctor but Dr. Kuri is also in Tijuana...I had my surgery June 12th and everything was awesome! No worries there and also the same price as Dr. Zapata.

I've heard of cosmed, but I tought they only do plastic surgery. I have never heard of that doctor. I had mine with Dr. Valencia. I was very happy. Dr. Valencia has a good price and he has really great credentials. He is a professor of bariatric surgery at UCLA. Good luck to you!

Hi Rubina, I don't think I've heard of this docotr, maybe the one you are looking for is doctor Francisco Gonzalez, he did my Lap band. And I have nothing but praise for him. In mi mind, he is the best!

I was also banded by Dr. Zapata in Monterrey and it was such a great experience. I would recommend him to anyone.

I wanted to share my experience about this facility. I have been there and was so impressed with the place, the doctors and the staff.... The patients that I have talked to, claim that the care was excellent and didnt need a thing. I hope those that are looking for a reputable place consider this group.

Best wishes to you all...

Apparently you've chosen to only speak to the very small percentage of patients that have not had complications from Betancourt. There are tons of serious complaints on this website alone regarding this medical group.

So, if you're looking for a reputable group, PLEASE do your research before considering Betancourt.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
