Frustrated...Searching 4 Doctor in Mexico



Recommended Posts

I was also banded by Dr. Ortiz. I paid $8500. I also bought his book Lapband for Life and it was really good. He has done over 4000 lapbands on his own and did 4000 with the doctor he learned under (what I was told by his patiend coordinator). He has trained a lot of doctors in the US also.

My experience was A++++++

Bakerman:::

Give Dr. Francisco Gonzalez a call', I'm sure whatever your budget for this surgery is, he can accomodate you. Talk to Laura. He has more than 10 years experience, he did my lap band. He is simply the best. Amazing surgeon, great doctor excellent human being, why do I say excellent human being? because he does two or three lap bands a year for FREE. I asked him about this and you know what he answered looking me right in my eye? "If you come to me and your life is at risk if you don't lose weight, do you think I would consider doing a surgery that may save your life if you don't have money to pay me? I feel it is my obligation to give back to the community."

He selects two to three patients a year and does it for FREE!! That just blows my mind!

if that was not enough he has an extremely low complication rate, I know because when I'm in his waiting room waiting for an adjustment there are always 3-5 people waiting and I've not heard any patients complaining of anything serious. In the two plus years I've been going to him. Call him, it may be the best phone call you ever made.

I called Dr. Gonzalez office today and I liked the tone, very knowledgeable people there, perfect English. Definitely got my attention. Answered all my questions, just gave me all the right answers. Plenty of experience and no passport needed. I'm looking further into this and I just may go with doctor Gonzalez. I really liked the price, compared to here in the good ol USA. I'm still looking a little further, just to make sure.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
